In order to explore the adoption of ultrasonic images under deep learning (DL) algorithm to evaluate the efficacy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) for treatment of arteriosclerotic occlusion, 56 patients who underwent DCB surgery of lower limb artery wer...
The demand for cost-efficient manufacturing of complex metal components has driven research for metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) such as Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). WAAM enables automated, time- and material-efficient manufacturing of ...

This paper performs in simulations deep learning (DL) for high quality and high quantitative ultrasonic (US) echo imaging: (i) reduction of multiple echoes (multiple reverberations) and (ii) grading lobe echoes, (iii) separation of multiply crossed w...
Welding is widely used in the connection of metallic structures, including welded joints in oil/gas metallic pipelines and other structures. The welding process is vulnerable to the inclusion of different types of welding defects, such as lack of pen...
A flow pattern identification method combining ultrasonic transmission attenuation with an ultrasonic reflection echo is proposed for oil-water two-phase flow in horizontal pipelines. Based on the finite element method, two-dimensional geometric simu...

PURPOSE: During brain tumor surgery, care must be taken to accurately differentiate between tumorous and healthy tissue, as inadvertent resection of functional brain areas can cause severe consequences. Since visual assessment can be difficult during...
A method based on the high-frequency ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) of a piezoelectric sensor array is proposed to monitor the depth of transverse cracks in rail bottoms. Selecting high-frequency UGWs with a center frequency of 350 kHz can enable the...
A point contact/Coulomb coupling technique is generally used for visualizing the ultrasonic waves in Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) ceramics. The point contact and delta pulse excitation produce a broadband frequency spectrum and wide directional wave...
