Sumario:BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the concordance in lesion detection, between conventional Handhold Ultrasound (HHUS) and The Anatomical Intelligence for Breast ultrasound scan method. RESULT: The AI-breast showed the absolute agreement between the resident and an experienced breast radiologist. The ICC for the scan time, number, clockface location, distance to the nipple, largest diameter and mean diameter of the lesion obtained by a resident and an experienced breast radiologist were 0.7642, 0.7692, 0.8651, 0.8436, 0.7502, 0.8885, respectively. The ICC of the both practitioners of AI-breast were 0.7971, 0.7843, 0.9283, 0.8748, 0.7248, 0.8163, respectively. The k value of Anatomical Intelligence breast between experienced breast radiologist and resident in these image characteristics of boundary, morphology, aspect ratio, internal echo, and BI-RADS assessment were 0.7424, 0.7217, 0.6741, 0.6419, 0.6241, respectively. The k value of the two readers of AI-breast were 0.6531, 0.6762, 0.6439, 0.6137, 0.5981, respectively. CONCLUSION: The anatomical intelligent breast US scanning method has excellent reproducibility in recording the lesion location and the distance from the nipple, which may be utilized in the lesions surveillance in the future.
