Abstract

In today’s world, progressively enormous popularity prevails around artificial intelligence (AI). AI is gaining popularity in the identification of various images. Therefore, it has been widely used in the ultrasound of the breast. Furthermore, AI can perform a quantitative evaluation, which further helps maintain the diagnosis’s accuracy. Moreover, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, posing a severe threat to women’s health. Hence, its early detection is usually associated with a patient’s prognosis. As a result, using AI in breast cancer screening and detection is highly crucial. The concept of AI in the perspective of breast ultrasound has been highlighted in this brief review article. It tends to focus on early AI, i.e., traditional machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Also, the use of AI in ultrasound and the use of it in mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine imaging, and classification of breast lesions is broadly explained, along with the challenges faced in bringing AI into daily practice.Copyright © 2022, Mahant et al.
