Objectives: To investigate an interpretable radiomics model consistent with clinical decision-making process and realize automatic prediction of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) levels in breast cancer (BC) from ultrasound (US) images.

Methods: A total of 378 patients with invasive BC confirmed by pathological results were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Radiomics features were extracted guided by the BI-RADS lexicon from the regions of interest(ROIs) segmented with deep learning models.

Breast tumor segmentation in ultrasound images is fundamental for quantitative analysis and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Recently, existing methods have mainly focused on spatial domain implementations, with less attention to the frequency domain. In this paper, we propose a Multi-frequency and Multi-scale Interactive CNN-Transformer Hybrid Network (MFMSNet).

Objective: Breast cancer has become the leading cancer of the 21st century. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have emerged as effective biomarkers for predicting treatment response and prognosis in breast cancer. The work described here was aimed at designing a novel deep learning network to assess the levels of TILs in breast ultrasound images.
