Examining the effectiveness of a deep learning-based computer-aided breast cancer detection system for breast ultrasound
ConclusionThe use of a deep learning-based CADe system for breast ultrasound by readers significantly improved their reading ability. This system is expected to contribute to highly accurate breast cancer screening and diagnosis. (Source: Journal of Medical Ultrasonics)

Features of ductal carcinoma in situ ultrasound images
This article describes the characteristics of ultrasound images of DCIS based on the BC-02 study conducted by The Japanese Association of Breast and Thyroid Sonology (JABTS). In the BC-02 study, ultrasound images of 705 DCIS cases were classified by imaging findings. The results showed that non-mass abnormalities accounted for 60% of all lesions and masses for 40%. Looking at each subclassification, hypoechoic areas in the mammary gland were the most common (50% of the total), followed by solid masses (31%), mixed masses (9%), and abnormalities of the ducts (8%). These four classifications accounted for 98% of the total. E...

Visualization of lateral meniscus extrusion during gait using dynamic ultrasonographic evaluation
ConclusionsWe found that dynamic ultrasonographic evaluation can be used to visualize lateral meniscus extrusion during walking, and that its behavior is correlated to the degree of lateral thrust. (Source: Journal of Medical Ultrasonics)

The Japan Society of Ultrasonics in Medicine guidelines on non-mass abnormalities of the breast
AbstractIt is possible to appropriately diagnose non-mass abnormalities by elucidating ultrasound non-mass abnormality findings and sharing the concept. If non-mass abnormalities can be diagnosed early, the number of curable cases could increase, leading to fewer breast cancer deaths. The Japan Society of Ultrasonics in Medicine (JSUM) Terminology/Diagnostic Criteria Committee has classified non-mass abnormalities into five subtypes: hypoechoic area in the mammary gland, abnormalities of the ducts, architectural distortion, multiple small cysts, and echogenic foci without a hypoechoic area. We herein define the findings fo...

A review of MRI (CT)/US fusion imaging in treatment of breast cancer
AbstractThe ultrasound fusion imaging system is a diagnostic device developed in Japan that utilizes ultrasound and magnetic positioning/navigation. A position sensor with a probe reads spatial location information from a magnetic field generator and by synchronously displaying ultrasound images and magnetic resonance (MR)/computed tomography (CT) images in real time. Lesions that are difficult to observe via ultrasonography alone, such as non-mass enhancement, can be identified. Furthermore, lesions that are difficult to identify with ultrasound alone indicated for MRI-guided biopsy under the National Health Insurance Sch...
