Reviewer 2 Report
This technology approach described in this paper is very interesting and relevant. If this study can be performed on a larger scale and involve more countries outside of China, then this technology would be very popular and can be practice changing.
Is it possible for you to have more images of the machine and patient's positioning diagram to allow better appreciation of the two exams. Is this a software that can be downloaded on any computer? Or is it a workstation in addition to the US machine?
How labor intensive is this for the sonographer or radiologist who is scanning the breast?
I would highly recommend that the study be performed with larger sample size. Nice work!
