Predicting the efficacy of microwave ablation of benign thyroid nodules from ultrasound images using deep convolutional neural networks.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Thyroid nodules are frequent in clinical settings, and their diagnosis in adults is growing, with some persons experiencing symptoms. Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation can shrink nodules and alleviate discomfort. Because the degree and r...

Point-of-care ultrasound in obstetric anesthesia clinical practice.

Current opinion in anaesthesiology
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in obstetric anesthesia. This review synthesizes key studies and reviews published within the last 2 years on its application in clinical practice w...

Robot-assisted ultrasound probe calibration for image-guided interventions.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
BACKGROUND: Trackable ultrasound probes facilitate ultrasound-guided procedures, allowing real-time fusion of augmented ultrasound images and live video streams. The integration aids surgeons in accurately locating lesions within organs, and this cou...

Evaluation of AI-based nerve segmentation on ultrasound: relevance of standard metrics in the clinical setting.

British journal of anaesthesia
BACKGROUND: In artificial intelligence for ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia, accurate nerve identification is essential. The technology community typically favours objective metrics of pixel overlap on still-frame images, whereas clinical asses...

Machine Learning in Intravascular Ultrasound: Validating Automated Lesion Assessment for Complex Coronary Interventions.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
BACKGROUND: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is essential for assessing complex coronary lesions, but remains underutilized in part due to difficulties in image interpretation. The AVVIGO IVUS Automated Lesion Assessment (ALA) software, which uses mac...

Clinical Application of Deep Learning-Assisted Needles Reconstruction in Prostate Ultrasound Brachytherapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: High dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy (BT) procedure requires image-guided needle insertion. Given that general anesthesia is often employed during the procedure, minimizing overall planning time is crucial. In this study, we explore t...

Automated Classification of Coronary Plaque on Intravascular Ultrasound by Deep Classifier Cascades.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the gold standard modality for in vivo visualization of coronary arteries and atherosclerotic plaques. Classification of coronary plaques helps to characterize heterogeneous components and evaluate the risk of plaqu...

Automatic Segmentation of Ultrasound-Guided Quadratus Lumborum Blocks Based on Artificial Intelligence.

Journal of imaging informatics in medicine
Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) technology has become a widely used perioperative analgesia method during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. Due to the anatomical complexity and individual variability of the quadratus lumborum muscle (Q...

Automated diagnosis of atherosclerosis using multi-layer ensemble models and bio-inspired optimization in intravascular ultrasound imaging.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Atherosclerosis causes heart disease by forming plaques in arterial walls. IVUS imaging provides a high-resolution cross-sectional view of coronary arteries and plaque morphology. Healthcare professionals diagnose and quantify atherosclerosis physica...

Clinical impact of deep learning-derived intravascular ultrasound characteristics in patients with deferred coronary artery.

International journal of cardiology
Prognostic markers for long-term outcomes are lacking in patients with deferred (nonculprit) coronary artery lesions. This study aimed to identify the morphological criteria for predicting adverse outcomes and validate their clinical impact. Using de...
