AbstractEarly detection of breast cancer is critical to decreasing mortality, and breast-ultrasound imaging is commonly employed in early diagnosis due to its widespread availability, portability, and affordability. Yet, breast ultrasound is inherently noisy and of low contrast, characteristics that challenge its effectiveness at breast-cancer diagnosis and hinder application of automated deep-learning methods. Furthermore, the training such state-of-the-art deep learning requires extensive training sam
