Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer diagnosed in women worldwide. It has a major impact on women’s physical and mental health.
In the past 25 years, significant advances in screening, diagnosis and treatment have improved the mortality rate for women with breast cancer, with some studies showing a drop of approximately 40%. Combined with the use of artificial intelligence, the rapid development of medical imaging, tomosynthesis, quality improvement of ultrasound probes, and emerging PET/MR will continue to contribute to better outcomes for women with breast cancer.
This Special Issue is intended to provide an overview of the development of the newest research on AI, machine learning, PET/MR and breast imaging. We encourage researchers to submit original studies, reviews, communications, case studies, and a series of new frontiers in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of breast diseases or even new prevention methods, new software in artificial intelligence or machine learning and deep learning.
