Research Abstract

Mammographic breast cancer screening is a cost-effective way to improve survival. However, diagnostic accuracy greatly varies depending on experience of the doctor. CAD using AI technology is attracting attention as a diagnostic support method for doctors. We constructed a database of over 20,000 normal breast and cancer cases and succeeded in developing CAD using deep learning. We made a diagnostic workstation equipped with this software, and confirmed that the detection rate of calcified lesions and mass lesions was superior to existing CAD. At the same time, we developed a report management support software that can accurately measure breast tissue and calculate breast cancer risk factors from past medical history and family history, with a view to future personalized medicine.
