Paper Abstract
Automated Breast Ultrasound systems introduce a new ultrasound-imaging technology to address some of the drawbacks of the traditional handheld ultrasound. The detection performance of this new technology is studied. The lesion detectability performance is measured using Monte-Carlo simulation techniques for the observers of the synthesized images generated by the automated breast ultrasound systems. This performance is compared to detection performance of the observer when handheld ultrasound images are available. It is shown that resolution degradation in the synthesized images results in lower detection performance as compared to the handheld images scanning the same plane.
