Quantitative Ultrasound Monitoring of Breast Tumour Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Comparison of Results Among Clinical Scanners
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) techniques have been demonstrated to detect cell death in vitro and in vivo. Recently, multi-feature classification models have been incorporated into QUS texture-feature analysis methods to increase further the sensitivity and specificity of detecting treatment response in locally advanced breast cancer patients. To effectively incorporate these analytic methods into clinical applications, QUS and texture-feature estimations should be independent of data acquisition systems.
