Differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions using DWI with a fractional-order calculus(FROC) model based on SMS technique

Motivation: This study focus on improving imaging time and image quality while accurately distinguishing between benign and malignant breast lesions. Goal(s): To assess the diagnostic capabilities of the FROC diffusion model combined with SMS technology for breast lesions. Approach: Compare two diffusion model, the traditional single-index DWI model and the FROC, and then evaluate their diagnostic performance, image quality, and the consistency of results using SMS technology. Results: FROC combined with SMS offered a feasible and effective approach for distinguishing benign and malignant breast lesions, while the diagnostic performance of D and β values from FROC was potentially superior to the traditional ADC values. Impact: The research introduces an innovative approach that combines the FROC-DWI model with SMS technology to enhance the efficiency and diagnostic capabilities of breast imaging, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing unnecessary invasive procedures.
