Description

Mammary gland ultrasonic screening system and screening method based on artificial intelligence
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of breast screening, in particular to a breast ultrasonic screening system and method based on artificial intelligence.
Background
According to reports, the incidence rate of breast cancer is high, and the breast cancer becomes malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate of females, thereby seriously threatening the body and physical and mental health of females. From the characteristics of the onset of the breast cancer, the breast cancer is slow to develop in the early stage, the screening time is sufficient, a small part of the breast cancer advances and spreads fast, but the majority of the breast cancer can reach a plurality of years, and the breast cancer can be found early only by ensuring that a woman performs breast cancer screening once a year. The early breast cancer belongs to in-situ cancer, does not need to carry out radiotherapy or chemotherapy, has very high success rate of direct intervention, and can reach more than 95% of survival rate of patients in 5 years.
Therefore, the mammary gland screening is particularly important, and the survival rate can be obviously improved by early diagnosis and early treatment. In the past, molybdenum target X-rays are mainly used as a main method, and Clinical Breast Examination (CBE), breast ultrasound US, breast magnetic resonance MRI and infrared rays are assisted, but the molybdenum target examination has radioactivity, and the accuracy rate of compact breast is obviously reduced.
It is common that asian females have mammary glands that are more suitable for ultrasound examination. Traditional breast ultrasound examination has advantages such as convenient, safety, but leak diagnosis rate is high, is applied to large-scale screening, can't ensure comprehensive scanning, and its reason is: unlike CT or MRI, the scanning is formed by a machine, so that a unified section standard can be formed, whether the scanning of each ultrasonic doctor is comprehensive or not can directly determine the diagnosis of a patient, otherwise, the diagnosis can be missed; that is, the existing ultrasonic breast screening method has the defects of high labor cost, high time cost, high requirement on the experience of doctors and the like, is difficult to use for large-scale screening, and particularly has the defects of poor medical conditions and low level of doctors in underdeveloped areas.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a person skilled in the art has made many efforts, for example, chinese patent application with application number 202011603978.9 entitled "an artificial intelligent breast cancer ultrasonic screening system and screening method", discloses a breast ultrasonic screening method including a central processing module, a diagnosis module and a community service module, but the patent still cannot solve the problems of missed scan and misdiagnosis caused by the ultrasonic scanning track;

This patent requires extremely high equipment requirements, requires specialized camera equipment, mainframe, robotic arm and screening platform, is expensive to screen, and takes a long time to examine a patient, and is not suitable for large-scale examination such as breast screening.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a method of large-scale screening of breast that saves time, prevents missed scans, and misdiagnosis.
