Three‐dimensional complementary breast ultrasound (3D CBUS): Improving 3D spatial resolution uniformity with orthogonal images

The out-of-plane resolution in the orthogonal 3DUS images is improved upon their combination into a single 3D CBUS image. These results demonstrate that the proposed 3D CBUS generation approach can improve 3D spatial resolution uniformity, while employing a commercial US transducer. The proposed 3D CBUS method shows potential utility for improving image resolution uniformity in 3D ABUS images, with the goal of improving point-of-care breast cancer supplemental screening and diagnostic applications, particularly in women with dense breasts and limited resource settings.
