Abstract

Breast ultrasound (BUS) videos provide essential temporal cues but suffer from dense annotation scarcity, whereas static images offer stable morphology without motion context. We propose ProME-Net, an asymmetric heterogeneous fusion framework for BUS video detection. Specifically, an Anchor Frame aggregates temporal context to mitigate probe-induced artifacts, while a distinct Prototype Frame extracts reusable structural priors learned from a mixed static-video stream. Driven by clinical screening demands, we prioritize high-recall precision and false positives per image (FP) in our evaluation. On a mixed-dimension benchmark under a dual-task setting, ProME-Net achieves 62.6% $AP_{50}$, 49.0% $Pr_{90}$, 0.685 $FP_{90}$, and 58.72 FPS, demonstrating superior false-positive control without compromising overall accuracy.
