Breast cancer triage CAD for low resource countries using low cost ultrasound and minimally trained operators
We propose an automated breast cancer triage CAD system using machine vision on low cost, portable ultrasound imaging devices. We demonstrate that the triage CAD software can effectively analyze images captured by minimally trained operators and output one of three assessments benign, probably benign (6 month follow up recommended) and suspicious (biopsy recommended) This system opens up the possibility of offering practical, cost effective breast cancer diagnosis for symptomatic women in economically developing countries.
