What are the novel findings of this work? Computerized ultrasound image analysis using deep neural networks (DNNs) can discriminate between benign and malignant ovarian lesions with a diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of a human expert examiner. What are the clinical implications of this work? There is a shortage of expert ultrasound examiners, resulting in suboptimal diagnostic accuracy. DNN models may have a role in the triage of women with an ovarian tumor, by supporting clinical decision-making by less experienced examiners, and potentially reducing morbidity and optimizing the use of healthcare resources.
Objectives To determine how various objective two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound parameters allow prediction of deep stromal tumor invasion and lymph node involvement, in comparison to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
