Ultrasound and diffuse optical tomography-transformer model for assessing pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer.

The USDOT-Transformer model offers a promising non-invasive approach for predicting pCR to NAC in breast cancer patients. By leveraging the structural and functional information from US and DOT images, the model offers a faster and more reliable tool for personalized treatment planning. Future work will focus on expanding the dataset and refining the model to further improve its accuracy and generalizability.
