we have devised an automatedultrasound-based Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systemdesigned to detect and classify breast cancer lesions. A datasetcomprising 6,319 images from 2889 patients was employed. Toensure the generalizability of our AI algorithm, images wereacquired using various US machines with different transducers (1-14 MHz). Deep learning methodologies were harnessed,encompassing the utilization of the EfficientNetV2-B0 architecturefor image classification (benign/malignant) and theimplementation of the Attention U-Net coupled with the Cosh logDice loss function for breast lesion segmentation. Our CAD systemdemonstrated an impressive sensitivity of 89.0% and specificity of92.0% for classification, along with a segmentation Dice score of86.0%. The integration of such CAD systems into breast imagingworkflows holds promise for diminishing the influence of humanerrors, consequently reducing diagnostic costs, and expediting thebreast US imaging process
