Deep Learning Estimation of Median Nerve Volume Using Ultrasound Imaging in a Human Cadaver Model.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Median nerve swelling is one of the features of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and ultrasound measurement of maximum median nerve cross-sectional area is commonly used to diagnose CTS. We hypothesized that volume might be a more sensitive measure than...

Deep-Learning-Based Ultrasound Sound-Speed Tomography Reconstruction with Tikhonov Pseudo-Inverse Priori.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Ultrasound sound-speed tomography (USST) is a promising technology for breast imaging and breast cancer detection. Its reconstruction is a complex non-linear mapping from the projection data to the sound-speed image (SSI). The traditional reconstruct...

Comparative Study of Raw Ultrasound Data Representations in Deep Learning to Classify Hepatic Steatosis.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Adiposity accumulation in the liver is an early-stage indicator of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Analysis of ultrasound (US) backscatter echoes from liver parenchyma with deep learning (DL) may offer an affordable alternative for hepatic steatos...

Using deep learning for ultrasound images to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome with high accuracy.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Recently, deep learning (DL) algorithms have been adapted for the diagnosis of medical images. The purpose of this study was to detect image features using DL without measuring median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) in ultrasonography (US) images of...

Machine Learning-Based Ultrasound Radiomics for Evaluating the Function of Transplanted Kidneys.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
The aim of the study described here was to investigate the value of different machine learning models based on the clinical and radiomic features of 2-D ultrasound images to evaluate post-transplant renal function (pTRF). We included 233 patients who...

Automatic Placenta Localization From Ultrasound Imaging in a Resource-Limited Setting Using a Predefined Ultrasound Acquisition Protocol and Deep Learning.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Placenta localization from obstetric 2-D ultrasound (US) imaging is unattainable for many pregnant women in low-income countries because of a severe shortage of trained sonographers. To address this problem, we present a method to automatically detec...

Skills Classification in Cardiac Ultrasound with Temporal Convolution and Domain Knowledge Using a Low-Cost Probe Tracker.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
As point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) becomes more integrated into clinical practice, it is essential to address all aspects of ultrasound operator proficiency. Ultrasound proficiency requires the ability to acquire, interpret and integrate bedside ult...

Deep Learning-Based Carotid Plaque Segmentation from B-Mode Ultrasound Images.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Carotid ultrasound measurement of total plaque area (TPA) provides a method for quantifying carotid plaque burden and monitoring changes in carotid atherosclerosis in response to medical treatment. Plaque boundary segmentation is required to generate...

Automated Segmentation of the Median Nerve in the Carpal Tunnel using U-Net.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Nerve area and motion in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are currently under investigation in terms of prognostic potential. Therefore, there is increasing interest in non-invasive measurement of the nerve using ultrasound. Manual segmentation is time c...

Artificial Intelligence-Powered Measurement of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Using a Handheld Ultrasound Device.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of an algorithm for automated measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) available on handheld ultrasound devices (HUDs). One hundred twelve patients admitted to the cardiology department...
