Liver fibrosis stage classification in stacked microvascular images based on deep learning.

BMC medical imaging
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...

Deep denoising approach to improve shear wave phase velocity map reconstruction in ultrasound elastography.

Medical physics
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...

Ultrasound Versus Elastography in the Diagnosis of Hepatic Steatosis: Evaluation of Traditional Machine Learning Versus Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Multimodal ultrasound deep learning to detect fibrosis in early chronic kidney disease.

Renal failure
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...

Machine learning-based discrimination of benign and malignant breast lesions on US: The contribution of shear-wave elastography.

European journal of radiology
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.

Improving the diagnostic strategy for thyroid nodules: a combination of artificial intelligence-based computer-aided diagnosis system and shear wave elastography.

Endocrine
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, ...

SELFNet: Denoising Shear Wave Elastography Using Spatial-temporal Fourier Feature Networks.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
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...

Deep Learning Based Shear Wave Detection and Segmentation Tool for Use in Point-of-Care for Chronic Liver Disease Assessments.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
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...
