PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning model based on two-dimensional (2D) shear wave elastography (SWE) for predicting prognosis in patients with acutely decompensated cirrhosis.
. Arterial wall stiffness can provide valuable information on the proper function of the cardiovascular system. Ultrasound elasticity imaging techniques have shown great promise as a low-cost and non-invasive tool to enable localized maps of arterial...
Recently, deep learning using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has yielded consistent results in image-pattern recognition. This study was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of deep learning using CNNs to differentiate benign and malignant ...
Robotic assistance in minimally invasive surgery offers numerous advantages for both patient and surgeon. However, the lack of force feedback in robotic surgery is a major limitation, and accurately estimating tool-tissue interaction forces remains a...
OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound examination has inter-observer and intra-observer variability and a high false-positive rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of the combined use of a deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system an...

UNLABELLED: Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a developing imaging technique that enables non-invasive estimation of tissue mechanical properties through the combination of induced mechanical displacements in the tissue and Magnetic Resonance ...
It is known that changes in the mechanical properties of tissues are associated with the onset and progression of certain diseases. Ultrasound elastography is a technique to characterize tissue stiffness using ultrasound imaging either by measuring t...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection remains a major global health burden and the non-invasive and accurate diagnosis of significant liver fibrosis (≥ F2) in CHB patients is clinically very important. This study aimed to ass...
We aim to evaluate the performance of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in predicting the presence or absence of sarcopenia using shear-wave elastography (SWE) and gray-scale ultrasonography (GSU) of rectus femoris muscle as an imaging bioma...
