Intra- and Peritumoral Radiomics Based on Ultrasound Images for Preoperative Differentiation of Follicular Thyroid Adenoma, Carcinoma, and Follicular Tumor With Uncertain Malignant Potential.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Differentiating between follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA), carcinoma (FTC), and follicular tumor with uncertain malignant potential (FT-UMP) remains challenging due to their overlapping ultrasound characteristics. This retrospective study a...

SSAT-Swin: Deep Learning-Based Spinal Ultrasound Feature Segmentation for Scoliosis Using Self-Supervised Swin Transformer.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Scoliosis, a 3-D spinal deformity, requires early detection and intervention. Ultrasound curve angle (UCA) measurement using ultrasound images has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool. However, calculating the UCA directly from ultrasoun...

SegFormer3D: Improving the Robustness of Deep Learning Model-Based Image Segmentation in Ultrasound Volumes of the Pediatric Hip.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a painful orthopedic malformation diagnosed at birth in 1-3% of all newborns. Left untreated, DDH can lead to significant morbidity including long-term disability. Currently the condition is clinically diag...

A Bi-modal Temporal Segmentation Network for Automated Segmentation of Focal Liver Lesions in Dynamic Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an automated deep learning-based model for focal liver lesion (FLL) segmentation in a dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) video.

Ultrasonic-Based Radiomics Signature With Machine Learning for Differentiating Prognostic Subsets of Pediatric Peripheral Neuroblastic Tumors: A Retrospective Study.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: To construct and select a better model based on ultrasonic-based radiomics features and clinical characteristics for prognostic subsets of pediatric neuroblastic tumors.

Regional Image Quality Scoring for 2-D Echocardiography Using Deep Learning.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: To develop and compare methods to automatically estimate regional ultrasound image quality for echocardiography separate from view correctness.

Advances in the Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Ultrasound Diagnosis of Vulnerable Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is a type of plaque that poses a significant risk of high mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Ultrasound has long been used for carotid atherosclerosis screening and plaque assessment due to its safety...

Interactively Fusing Global and Local Features for Benign and Malignant Classification of Breast Ultrasound Images.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Breast ultrasound (BUS) is used to classify benign and malignant breast tumors, and its automatic classification can reduce subjectivity. However, current convolutional neural networks (CNNs) face challenges in capturing global features, w...

Attention-based Fusion Network for Breast Cancer Segmentation and Classification Using Multi-modal Ultrasound Images.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Breast cancer is one of the most commonly occurring cancers in women. Thus, early detection and treatment of cancer lead to a better outcome for the patient. Ultrasound (US) imaging plays a crucial role in the early detection of breast can...

Automatic Segmentation of Sylvian Fissure in Brain Ultrasound Images of Pre-Term Infants Using Deep Learning Models.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Segmentation of brain sulci in pre-term infants is crucial for monitoring their development. While magnetic resonance imaging has been used for this purpose, cranial ultrasound (cUS) is the primary imaging technique used in clinical practi...
