A Deep Learning Approach to Resolve Aliasing Artifacts in Ultrasound Color Flow Imaging.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Despite being used clinically as a noninvasive flow visualization tool, color flow imaging (CFI) is known to be prone to aliasing artifacts that arise due to fast blood flow beyond the detectable limit. From a visualization standpoint, these aliasing...

Ultrasound Deep Learning for Wall Segmentation and Near-Wall Blood Flow Measurement.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Studies of medical flow imaging have technical limitations for accurate analysis of blood flow dynamics and vessel wall interaction at arteries. We propose a new deep learning-based boundary detection and compensation (DL-BDC) technique in ultrasound...

Association of Cardiovascular Mortality and Deep Learning-Funduscopic Atherosclerosis Score derived from Retinal Fundus Images.

American journal of ophthalmology
PURPOSE: The prediction of atherosclerosis using retinal fundus images and deep learning has not been shown possible. The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning model which predicted atherosclerosis by using retinal fundus images and to...

Feasibility of a sub-3-minute imaging strategy for ungated quiescent interval slice-selective MRA of the extracranial carotid arteries using radial k-space sampling and deep learning-based image processing.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: To develop and test the feasibility of a sub-3-minute imaging strategy for non-contrast evaluation of the extracranial carotid arteries using ungated quiescent interval slice-selective (QISS) MRA, combining single-shot radial sampling with d...

Bimodal Automated Carotid Ultrasound Segmentation Using Geometrically Constrained Deep Neural Networks.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
For asymptomatic patients suffering from carotid stenosis, the assessment of plaque morphology is an important clinical task which allows monitoring of the risk of plaque rupture and future incidents of stroke. Ultrasound Imaging provides a safe and ...

Localization of common carotid artery transverse section in B-mode ultrasound images using faster RCNN: a deep learning approach.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Cardiologists can acquire important information related to patients' cardiac health using carotid artery stiffness, its lumen diameter (LD), and its carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). The sonographers primarily concern about the location of the a...

Ultrafast Plane Wave Imaging With Line-Scan-Quality Using an Ultrasound-Transfer Generative Adversarial Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
In the medical ultrasound field, ultrafast imaging has recently become a hot topic. However, the diagnostic reliability of ultrafast high-frame rate plane-wave (PW) imaging is reduced by its low-quality images. The medical ultrasound equipment on the...

Deep morphology aided diagnosis network for segmentation of carotid artery vessel wall and diagnosis of carotid atherosclerosis on black-blood vessel wall MRI.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Early detection of carotid atherosclerosis on the vessel wall (VW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (VW-MRI) images can prevent the progression of cardiovascular disease. However, the manual inspection process of the VW-MRI images is cumbers...

Classification of Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness Ultrasound Images with Deep Learning.

Journal of medical systems
Cerebrovascular accident due to carotid artery disease is the most common cause of death in developed countries following heart disease and cancer. For a reliable early detection of atherosclerosis, Intima Media Thickness (IMT) measurement and classi...

Automatic identification of atherosclerosis subjects in a heterogeneous MR brain imaging data set.

Magnetic resonance imaging
Carotid-artery atherosclerosis (CA) contributes significantly to overall morbidity and mortality in ischemic stroke. We propose a machine learning technique to automatically identify subjects with CA from a heterogeneous cohort of magnetic resonance ...
