Disclosed in the present invention is a physician-interpretable
ultrasound-based
breast cancer pathological subtype detection
system, comprising: a segmentation module, which uses a U-Net network and incorporates a foreground optimization network to segment a breast and a nodule; a texture channel, which extracts a texture channel feature; an edge channel, which extracts boundary information; a position channel, which extracts position information, so as to quantize the overall relationship between the nodule and the boundary information of the breast to extract a breast nodule growth position feature; a shape channel, which calculates an edge
aspect ratio on the basis of a segmented nodule region, so as to obtain a predicted interval value as a shape channel feature; an echo channel, which calculates the echo difference between the interior and exterior of the nodule to serve as an echo channel feature value; and a joint prediction module, which uses a
multinomial logistic regression model to classify and predict
breast cancer pathological subtypes on the basis of output features of the texture channel, the edge channel, the echo channel, the shape channel and the position channel. An
artificial intelligence diagnosis tool that is interpretable to physicians is built, thereby providing an automated theoretical basis for
clinical diagnosis and decision-making.
