Application of an artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system for breast ultrasound: a prospective study.

Background: Accurate diagnosis of breast cancer is of great importance to improve the prognosis of patients. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic system for breast ultrasound is gradually being applied in the identification of benign and malignant breast lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance and optimal application of AIassisted ultrasonography for breast lesions in clinical setting.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound to predict malignant upgrading of atypical ductal hyperplasia.

Background: A malignancy might be found at surgery in cases of atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) diagnosed via US-guided core needle biopsy (CNB). The objective of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in predicting ADH diagnosed by US-guided CNB that was upgraded to malignancy after surgery.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 110 CNB-diagnosed ADH lesions in 109 consecutive women who underwent US, CEUS, and surgery between June 2018 and June 2023 were included.
