Application Value of Combined Conventional Ultrasonography and S-Detect in Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Breast Tumors
Abstract
The breast cancer has become a malignant tumor of the highest incidence among women in China [1]. Early detection and early diagnosis are crucial to reduce the mortality of breast cancer patients [2-3]. Mammography and ultrasonography are the most effective methods to examine breast diseases. The latter is more convenient and affordable than the former and has no risk of radiation. Therefore, the ultrasonography is widely used in breast cancer screening. However, it shows specific differences in screening and high dependence on operators, which are to be solved urgently. S-Detect is big data based on the results of 10,000 cases, and it provides suggestions for judgment of benign or malignant tumors according to selected images of clinical examination using deep learning algorithms. Less dependent on operators, S-Detect offers a new diagnostic method for the breast cancer. This technology is non-invasive, non-radioactive, simple and easy to operate. However, it is still in the exploratory stage, and needs more research to confirm its value. This study explored the application value of combined conventional ultrasonography and S-Detect in diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors upon comparison of pathological results.
