Beamforming and Speckle Reduction Using Neural Networks.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
With traditional beamforming methods, ultrasound B-mode images contain speckle noise caused by the random interference of subresolution scatterers. In this paper, we present a framework for using neural networks to beamform ultrasound channel signals...

Machine learning for automated quality assurance in radiotherapy: A proof of principle using EPID data description.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Developing automated methods to identify task-driven quality assurance (QA) procedures is key toward increasing safety, efficacy, and efficiency. We investigate the use of machine learning (ML) methods for possible visualization, automation,...

Training improvements for ultrasound beamforming with deep neural networks.

Physics in medicine and biology
This paper investigates practical considerations of training ultrasound deep neural network (DNN) beamformers. First, we studied training DNNs using the combination of multiple point target responses instead of single point target responses. Next, we...

Simulation-based deep artifact correction with Convolutional Neural Networks for limited angle artifacts.

Zeitschrift fur medizinische Physik
Non-conventional scan trajectories for interventional three-dimensional imaging promise low-dose interventions and a better radiation protection to the personnel. Circular tomosynthesis (cTS) scan trajectories yield an anisotropical image quality dis...

Robotic laser osteotomy through penscriptive structured light visual servoing.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Planning osteotomies is a task that surgeons do as part of standard surgical workflow. This task, however, becomes more difficult and less intuitive when a robot is tasked with performing the osteotomy. In this study, we aim to provide a new...

Gain determination of feedback force for an ultrasound scanning robot using genetic algorithm.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The remote medical diagnosis system (RMDS) is for providing medical diagnosis to the patients located in remote sites. To apply to RMDS and medical automation, many master-slave type ultrasound scanning robots are being developed and researc...

Robust Single-Shot T Mapping via Multiple Overlapping-Echo Acquisition and Deep Neural Network.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of great value to both clinical diagnosis and scientific research. However, most MRI experiments remain qualitative, especially dynamic MRI, because repeated sampling with variable weighting parameter ...

Optimization based trajectory planning for real-time 6DoF robotic patient motion compensation systems.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Robotic stabilization of a therapeutic radiation beam with respect to a dynamically moving tumor target can be accomplished either by moving the radiation source, the patient, or both. As the treatment beam is on during this process, the pri...

Dominant-Current Deep Learning Scheme for Electrical Impedance Tomography.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning has recently been applied to electrical impedance tomography (EIT) imaging. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges that this approach has to face, e.g., targets with sharp corners or edges cannot be well recovered when...

Design and Implementation of a Bespoke Robotic Manipulator for Extra-corporeal Ultrasound.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
With the potential for high precision, dexterity, and repeatability, a self-tracked robotic system can be employed to assist the acquisition of real-time ultrasound. However, limited numbers of robots designed for extra-corporeal ultrasound have been...
