To assist radiologists in breast cancer classification in automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) imaging, we propose a computer-aided diagnosis based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) that classifies breast lesions as benign and malignant. The proposed CNN adopts a modified Inception-v3 architecture to provide efficient feature extraction in ABUS imaging. Because the ABUS images can be visualized in transverse and coronal views, the proposed CNN provides an efficient way to extract multiview features from both views. The proposed CNN was trained and evaluated on 316 breast lesions (135 malignant and 181 benign). An observer performance test was conducted to compare five human reviewers' diagnostic performance before and after referring to the predicting outcomes of the proposed CNN. Our method achieved an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.9468 with five-folder cross-validation, for which the sensitivity and specificity were 0.886 and 0.876, respectively. Compared with conventional machine learning-based feature extraction schemes, particularly principal component analysis (PCA) and histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), our method achieved a significant improvement in classification performance. The proposed CNN achieved a >10% increased AUC value compared with PCA and HOG. During the observer performance test, the diagnostic results of all human reviewers had increased AUC values and sensitivities after referring to the classification results of the proposed CNN, and four of the five human reviewers' AUCs were significantly improved. The proposed CNN employing a multiview strategy showed promise for the diagnosis of breast cancer, and could be used as a second reviewer for increasing diagnostic reliability.
