Adolescence is a time of extensive neural restructuring, leaving one susceptible to atypical development. Although neural maturation in humans can be measured using functional and structural MRI, the subtle patterns associated with the initial stages...
Deconvolution is the most commonly used image processing method in optical imaging systems to remove the blur caused by the point-spread function (PSF). While this method has been successful in deblurring, it suffers from several disadvantages, such ...
PURPOSE: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has shown great potential in many clinical applications. By incorporating the information from two different energy spectra, DECT provides higher contrast and reveals more material differences of tissue...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The measurement of carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in ultrasound images can be used to detect the presence of atherosclerotic plaques. Usually, the CIMT estimation strategy is semi-automatic, since it requires: (1) a m...

Real time brain transcranial ultrasound imaging is extremely intriguing because of its numerous applications. However, the skull causes phase distortion and amplitude attenuation of ultrasound signals due to its density: the speed of sound is signifi...
PURPOSE: To train deep learning models to differentiate benign and malignant breast tumors in ultrasound images, we need to collect many training samples with clear labels. In general, biopsy results can be used as benign/malignant labels. However, m...
