Multi-colorized tint map for distinguishing triple-negative breast cancers from cysts and fibroadenomas based on the tumor margin
HSV-based multi-colorized tint maps reveal a visually intuitive marginal "halo" feature that may assist preoperative differentiation of TNBC from benign, extremely hypoechoic lesions and can improve diagnostic performance compared with grayscale ultrasound. Future multicenter studies should validate robustness across ultrasound vendors and prospectively correlate the halo with histopathologic characteristics (e.g., cellularity and stromal response).
