We have developed a breast ultrasound image retrieval system for the decision support of classification of breast lesions on ultrasound. Biopsy-proved direct-digital 1,034 data were used to construct the main DB engine.The image database is constructed by about 1,034 cases (malignant cases are about 400. Benign cases are about 600.) And all cases were biopsy-proven. Two kinds of retrieval images of full size image and ROI image can be executed. Computer-generated malignant likelihood is calculated based on the retrieved images. So, user can infer what's the basis of computer's malignancy likelihood
