Abstract:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women all over the world. Ultrasound examination is instrumental in breast lesion screening, diagnosis and prognosis assessment, relying on non-radiation, inexpensiveness and real-time operation. However, it still has some limitations in diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Radiomics aims at extracting high-throughput quantitative features from medical images, so as to deeply mine image information and further discover tumor features that cannot be discerned by naked eyes. Ultrasound radiomics models are gradually applied in evaluating breast cancer diagnosis and therapy, aiming to help with the precise diagnosis, prediction and treatment. This review summarizes the recent research progress of ultrasound radiomics in diagnosing benign and malignant breast lesion, predicting molecular subtype, lymph node status, neoadjuvant chemotherapy response and disease prognosis. Besides, the review also discusses the challenges and future research perspectives regarding ultrasound-based radiomics for the evaluation of breast cancer.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
