OBJECTIVE: A deep neural network (DNN) was trained to generate a multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) volume from four input ultrasound-based modalities (acoustic radiation force impulse [ARFI] imaging, shear wave elasticity imaging [SWEI], quantitative...
OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound-based shear wave elastography offers estimation of tissue stiffness through analysis of the propagation of a shear wave induced by a stimulus. Displacement or velocity fields during the process can contain noise as a result of t...
OBJECTIVE: As metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) becomes more prevalent worldwide, it is imperative to create more accurate technologies that make it easy to assess the liver in a point-of-care setting. The aim of this s...
The prevalence of fatty liver disease is on the rise, posing a significant global health concern. If left untreated, it can progress into more serious liver diseases. Therefore, accurately diagnosing the condition at an early stage is essential for m...
OBJECTIVES: To explore texture analysis' ability on T and T relaxation maps to classify liver fibrosis into no-to-mild liver fibrosis (nmF) versus severe fibrosis (sF) group using machine learning algorithms and histology as reference standard.
BACKGROUND: Measurement noise often leads to inaccurate shear wave phase velocity estimation in ultrasound shear wave elastography. Filtering techniques are commonly used for denoising the shear wavefields. However, these filters are often not suffic...
PURPOSE: To build and validate a combined radiomics and machine learning (ML) approach using B-mode US and SWE images to differentiate benign from malignant solid breast lesions (BLs) and compare its performance with that of an expert radiologist.
We developed a multimodal ultrasound (US) deep learning (DL) fusion model to automatically classify early fibrosis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This prospective study included patients with CKD who underwent continuous gray-scale US...
BACKGROUND: Monitoring fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) is an important management strategy. We have already reported a novel stacked microvascular imaging (SMVI) technique and an examiner scoring evaluation method to improve fib...
PURPOSE: Thyroid nodules are highly prevalent in the general population, posing a clinical challenge in accurately distinguishing between benign and malignant cases. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of different strategies, ...
