Characterizing intra-tumor regions on quantitative ultrasound parametric images to predict breast cancer response to chemotherapy at pre-treatment

Abstract The efficacy of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) multi-parametric imaging in conjunction with unsupervised classification algorithms was investigated for the first time in characterizing intra-tumor regions to predict breast tumor response to chemotherapy before the start of treatment. QUS mul...
