Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging methods, including elastography, echogenicity analysis, and speckle statistical modeling, are available from a single ultrasound (US) radio-frequency data acquisition. Since these US imaging methods provide compl...
Transplantable kidneys are in very limited supply. Accurate viability assessment prior to transplantation could minimize organ discard. Rapid and accurate evaluation of intra-operative donor kidney biopsies is essential for determining which kidneys ...

Recent advances in deep learning have produced encouraging results for biomedical image segmentation; however, outcomes rely heavily on comprehensive annotation. In this paper, we propose a neural network architecture and a new algorithm, known as ov...
Temporal enhanced ultrasound (TeUS), comprising the analysis of variations in backscattered signals from a tissue over a sequence of ultrasound frames, has been previously proposed as a new paradigm for tissue characterization. In this paper, we prop...
Deep learning using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is a distinguished tool for many image classification tasks. Due to its outstanding robustness and generalization, it is also expected to play a key role to facilitate advanced computer-aided d...
Nuclear alterations are a hallmark of many types of cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa). Recent evidence shows that subvisual changes, ones that may not be visually perceptible to a pathologist, to the nucleus and its ultrastructural components ...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an age- and sex-related neurodevelopmental disorder that alters the brain's functional connectivity (FC). The changes caused by ASD are associated with different age- and sex-related patterns in neuroimaging data. Ho...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The benefit of colonoscopy for colorectal cancer prevention depends on the adenoma detection rate (ADR). The ADR should reflect the adenoma prevalence rate, which is estimated to be higher than 50% in the screening-age population. ...
