Abstract

Ultrasound-guided needle biopsy based on artificial neural network, as a safe, effective, and simple preoperative pathological diagnosis technique, has been widely used in clinical practice. Ultrasound-guided needle biopsy based on artificial neural networks for suspicious breast lesions found in conventional ultrasound examinations is an effective method for preoperative diagnosis. The purpose of this article is to study the value of artificial neural network ultrasound in improving breast cancer diagnosis. This article summarizes the neuron model of PCNN by observing and studying its impulse synchronization phenomenon. Aiming at gray-scale images disturbed by mixed noise (impulse noise and the Gaussian noise), a comprehensive filtering algorithm based on the simplified PCNN model is proposed. In this paper, the benign and malignant breast masses were evaluated based on the two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging signs of the mass, and compared with the postoperative pathological results, a logistic regression model was established to analyze the shape, boundary, microcalcification, and posterior echo attenuation of the mass, values for keratinization or burrs, convergent signs, and blood flow classification in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant. In this paper, a color ultrasound diagnostic device is used, Sonobi is used as a contrast medium, and the injection volume is 2.4 ml/dose. During the imaging process, the sound image performance of the lesion is dynamically observed, the original dynamic data are stored throughout the whole process, and the playback analysis is performed after the imaging is completed. Studies have shown that CDUS elastography (UE) combined with MRI can increase the sensitivity of breast cancer diagnosis, with a diagnostic accuracy rate of 92.4%.
