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 ...

Deep learning in ultrasound elastography imaging: A review.

Medical physics
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...

Diagnosis of significant liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B using a deep learning-based data integration network.

Hepatology international
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...

Deep learning based sarcopenia prediction from shear-wave ultrasonographic elastography and gray scale ultrasonography of rectus femoris muscle.

Scientific reports
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...
