Abstract: Automatic breast ultrasound system(ABUS)is a new technology in breast ultrasound examination in recent years.It has the advantages of image standardization,high reproducibility of operation,and obtaining coronal information.Because the image acquisition and image interpretation can be performed independently,the work efficiency of ultrasound doctors can be improved.ABUS can not only be used as a screening tool for breast cancer,but in terms of diagnostic performance,its high-quality coronal imaging can help distinguish benign and malignant lesions;automatic optimization of imaging can also increase the detection rate of breast lesions.In addition,it may predict the molecular subtypes of breast cancer,and has certain application value in the evaluation of the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.This article reviews the clinical application research of ABUS on breast cancer and discusses its future applications.
