Improving Breast Cancer Detection in Ultrasound Imaging Using AI

Originally published at: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/improving-breast-cancer-detection-in-ultrasound-imaging-using-ai/

Although ultrasound imaging is often used to detect breast cancer, especially mammographically occult cancers, its disadvantage is that it leads to high false-positive rates. We develop an AI system that achieves radiologist-level accuracy in identifying cancer. It is interpretable, achieves high accuracy on an external test set, and is trained in a weakly supervised manner.
