The Prediction Model of High-Frequency Ultrasound Combined with Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Scoring System Improved the Diagnosis of Sclerosing Adenosis and Early Breast Cance... by Ma B, Wu G, Zhu H, Liu Y, Hu W, Zhao J, Liu Y, Liu Q

“…The combined AI model with the best performance (training AUC, 0.94, 95% CI, 0.91– 0.97 and validation AUC, 0.95, 95% CI, 0.90– 0.99) was superior to the clinical ultrasound feature model, and the decision curve also showed that the clinical ultrasound combined with AI Nomogram had good clinical practicability. In the training group, the AUC of the sonographer and AI in differential diagnosis was 0.67(95% CI, 0.62– 0.71) and 0.89(95% CI, 0.84– 0.93), respectively, and the sonographer’s assessment showed better sensitivity (1.00 VS 0.73), but AI showed a higher accuracy rate (0.66 VS 0.80).Conclusion: Age, lesion size, burr, blood flow, and AI risk score are independent predictors of sclerosing adenosis and early breast cancer. …”
