Evaluation of the Effect of Body Position and Probe Position on the Localization of Breast Mass in Free-Hand Breast Ultrasound Examination.

Presented at European Congress of Radiology 2022.
To assess the effects of the ultrasound probe orientation and positioning and of patient’s orientation on breast mass displacement.

Authors: D. Bova , C.Caluser , G.Spear , A.Choate , J.Econow , J.Chiu , P.Besson , A.Anwar , K.Sipiorski

“The localization of small masses in the breast can be reliably reproduced within 10 mm of error, when the ultrasound probe position and orientation relative to the breast and body and the body orientation on the exam table are matched between exams with the on-screen guidance of BVN G-1000.“

Data from prone and supine MRI was used to predict breast target positions from prone MRI images in supine position

Presented at European Congress of Radiology 2019.
Predicting location of breast lesions in supine position from prone MRI data using machine learning.

Authors: L. Cherkezyan PhD, E. Aribal, O. Buğdaycı, C. Caluser, Y. Lei, Z. Anwar

“The obtained results support the feasibility of using trained algorithms to predict the position of small prone MRI-detected breast lesions in supine position and provide guidance for supine breast ultrasound exams or other supine procedures.”

BVN Technology Research Study

Presented at European Congress of Radiology 2018.
The Effect of Body Position and Probe Position on the Localization of Breast Mass in Free-Hand Breast Ultrasound Examination.

Authors: J. C. H. Chiu, A. Choate, J. Ecanow, G. Spear, S. Mondello, Y. Lei, C. Segarceanu

“Our findings show that the displacement of small masses, relative to nipple and body planes correlates with the changes in probe position and orientation, as well as changes in body position on the exam table.”

BVN Technology Research Study

Presented at European Congress of Radiology 2014.
Performance evaluation of an Automated Freehand Breast Ultrasound System for the completeness of scanning assessment.

Authors: S. S. Andrei, J. Gao1, J. Chiu, J. Turian, C. Caluser

“Although this is a small sample size laboratory study, the results are encouraging enough to consider a larger clinical validation study. The detection and mapping of small surface areas not covered with the ultrasound probe, inside the SBC, can allow the ultrasound user to rescan the missed areas and provide a measure of completeness during the images interpretation.”
