Cassification of breast tumor based on ultrasound images
This research primarily focuses on the predictive technology of identifying the state of tumors in the breast tissues. In breast cancer diagnosis, patients are forced to undergo a series of biopsies just to identify and confirm on the state of tumor, as whether malignant or benign. In this research...
