A retrospective study was conducted on 167 patients. All patients underwent a breast mass biopsy for histopathological and Ki-67 analysis prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) treatment. Additionally, all patients underwent ultrasonography and MRI examinations prior to the biopsy. The recorded variables were Ki-67, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, Max Slope, time to peak (TTP), signal enhancement ratio (SER), early enhancement rate (EER), time-signal intensity curve (TIC), tumor maximum diameter, tumor margins and boundaries, aspect ratio, microcalcification, color Doppler flow imaging grading, resistance index (RI), and axillary lymph node metastasis. Statistical analysis was performed using the R software package. Normally distributed continuous data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD), skewed continuous data as median, and categorical variables as frequency or percentage. The dataset was randomly divided into a modeling group and a validation group following a 7:3 ratio, employing a predetermined random seed. The selection of variables was conducted using the random forest algorithm. Specifically, in the initial analysis, we trained a random forest model using all available variables.

Compared with other phase array techniques, the synthetic aperture (SA) has a better lateral resolution but a limited imaging depth due to the limited ultrasonic energy emitted by the single emitter in each transmission. In contrast, the virtual source (VS) synthetic aperture allows a simultaneous multi-element emission and could provide a higher ultrasonic incident energy in each transmission. Therefore, the VS might achieve a high imaging quality at a deeper depth for bone imaging than the traditional SA. In this study, we proposed the virtual source phase shift migration (VS-PSM) method to achieve ultrasonic imaging of the deeper bone defect featured in the multilayer structure. The proposed VS-PSM method was validated using standard soft tissue phantom and printed bone phantom with artificial defects. The image quality was evaluated in terms of contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR) and amplitudes of scatters and defects at different imaging depths. The results showed that the VS-PSM method could achieve a high imaging quality of the soft tissues with a significant improvement in the scattering amplitude and without a significant sacrifice of the lateral and axial resolution. The PSM was superior to the DAS in suppressing the background noise in the images. Compared with the traditional SA-PSM, the VS-PSM method could image deeper bone defects at different ultrasonic frequencies, with an average improvement of 50% in CNR.

We introduce CBAM-RIUnet, a deep learning (DL) model for automated breast tumor segmentation in breast ultrasound (BUS) images. The model, featuring an efficient convolutional block attention module residual inception Unet, outperforms existing models, particularly excelling in Dice and IoU scores. CBAM-RIUnet follows the Unet structure with a residual inception depth-wise separable convolution, and incorporates a convolutional block attention module (CBAM) to eliminate irrelevant features and focus on the region of interest. Evaluation under three scenarios, including enhanced breast ultrasound (EBUS) and test-time augmentation (TTA), demonstrates impressive results. CBAM-RIUnet achieves Dice and IoU scores of 89.38% and 88.71%, respectively, showcasing significant improvements compared to state-of-the-art DL techniques. In conclusion, CBAM-RIUnet presents a highly effective and simplified DL model for breast tumor segmentation in BUS imaging.","PeriodicalId":49401,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
