ROC analysis of ultrasound tissue characterization classifiers for breast cancer diagnosis.

Breast cancer diagnosis through ultrasound tissue characterization was studied using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of combinations of acoustic features, patient age, and radiological findings. A feature fusion method was devised that operates even if only partial diagnostic data a...
