Enhanced needle localization in ultrasound using beam steering and learning-based segmentation.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Segmentation of needles in ultrasound images remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce a machine learning-based method for needle segmentation in 2D beam-steered ultrasound images. We used a statistical boosting approach to train a p...

DEMAC-Net: A Dual-Encoder Multiattention Collaborative Network for Cervical Nerve Pathway and Adjacent Anatomical Structure Segmentation.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Currently, cervical anesthesia is performed using three main approaches: superficial cervical plexus block, deep cervical plexus block, and intermediate plexus nerve block. However, each technique carries inherent risks and demands signifi...

AI-Driven View Guidance System in Intra-Cardiac Echocardiography Imaging.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Intra-cardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a crucial imaging modality used in electrophysiology (EP) and structural heart disease (SHD) interventions, providing real-time, high-resolution views from within the heart. Despite its advantages, effective ma...

ChatGPT artificial intelligence in clinical data analysis: an example comparing standard fusion prostate biopsy outcomes after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RaRP).

Archivio italiano di urologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale [di] Societa italiana di ecografia urologica e nefrologica
OBJECTIVE: To compare statistical outputs from ChatGPT 4.0 and human experts in both comparative and correlation analyses in the evaluation of multiparametric MRI/ultrasound fusion-targeted biopsy plus random biopsy versus standard random biopsy alon...

Diagnostic Performance of AI-enabled Plaque Quantification from Coronary CT Angiography Compared with Intravascular Ultrasound.

Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging
Purpose To assess the diagnostic performance of a coronary CT angiography (CCTA) artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tool (AI-QCPA; HeartFlow) to quantify plaque volume, as compared with intravascular US (IVUS). Materials and Methods A retrospective...

Prospective deep learning-based quantitative assessment of coronary plaque by computed tomography angiography compared with intravascular ultrasound: the REVEALPLAQUE study.

European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging
AIMS: Coronary computed tomography angiography provides non-invasive assessment of coronary stenosis severity and flow impairment. Automated artificial intelligence (AI) analysis may assist in precise quantification and characterization of coronary a...

Zhongguo yi xue ke xue yuan xue bao. Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae
With the continuous advances in modern medical technology and equipment,minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is widely applied in clinical practice.Ultrasound (US) as a real-time,portable,and radiation-free medical imaging method can be used for the intr...

Utilizing Deep Learning to Identify an Ultrasound-guided Nerve Block Target Zone.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Ultrasound guided nerve blocks are increasingly being used in perioperative care as a means of safely delivering analgesia. Unfortunately, identifying nerves in ultrasound images presents a challenging task for novice anesthesiologists. Drawing from ...

Individualized Ultrasound-Guided Intervention Phantom Development, Fabrication, and Proof of Concept.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Commercial ultrasound vascular phantoms lack the anatomic diversity required for robust pre-clinical interventional device testing. We fabricated individualized phantoms to test an artificial intelligence enabled ultrasound-guided surgical robotic sy...
