Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images. This section includes breast ultrasound, echocardiography (echo), transthoracic echo (TTE), transesophageal echo (TEE), echo contrast, transducers, ultrasound software and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).

Ultrasound is an invaluable diagnostic tool for the early detection of breast cancer, but the classification of lesions is sometimes challenging and time consuming. Could artificial intelligence hold the answer to solving these problems? Graphic courtesy of Chinese Medical Journal
