Deep learning model for intravascular ultrasound image segmentation with temporal consistency.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
This study was conducted to develop and validate a deep learning model for delineating intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images of coronary arteries.Using a total of 1240 40-MHz IVUS pullbacks with 191,407 frames, the model for lumen and external elast...

A prognostic model for thermal ablation of benign thyroid nodules based on interpretable machine learning.

Frontiers in endocrinology
INTRODUCTION: The detection rate of benign thyroid nodules is increasing every year, with some affected patients experiencing symptoms. Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation can reduce the volume of nodules to alleviate symptoms. As the degree and speed...

Scale Mutualized Perception for Vessel Border Detection in Intravascular Ultrasound Images.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Vessel border detection in IVUS images is essential for coronary disease diagnosis. It helps to obtain the clinical indices on the inner vessel morphology to indicate the stenosis. However, the existing methods suffer the challenge of scale-dependent...

Needle tracking in low-resolution ultrasound volumes using deep learning.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Clinical needle insertion into tissue, commonly assisted by 2D ultrasound imaging for real-time navigation, faces the challenge of precise needle and probe alignment to reduce out-of-plane movement. Recent studies investigate 3D ultrasound i...

Investigation of Appropriate Scaling of Networks and Images for Convolutional Neural Network-Based Nerve Detection in Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Ultrasound imaging is an essential tool in anesthesiology, particularly for ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks (US-PNBs). However, challenges such as speckle noise, acoustic shadows, and variability in nerve appearance complicate the accurate ...

Development and Validation of Artificial Intelligence-Based Algorithms for Predicting the Segments Debulked by Rotational Atherectomy Using Intravascular Ultrasound Images.

The American journal of cardiology
We develop and evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm that uses pre-rotation atherectomy (RA) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images to automatically predict regions debulked by RA. A total of 2106 IVUS cross-sections from 60 patien...

Improving Needle Tip Tracking and Detection in Ultrasound-Based Navigation System Using Deep Learning-Enabled Approach.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous interventions have numerous advantages over traditional techniques. Accurate needle placement in the target anatomy is crucial for successful intervention, and reliable visual information is essential to achieve this. H...

Toward confident prostate cancer detection using ultrasound: a multi-center study.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Deep learning-based analysis of micro-ultrasound images to detect cancerous lesions is a promising tool for improving prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. An ideal model should confidently identify cancer while responding with appropriate uncert...

A comparative analysis of deep learning-based location-adaptive threshold method software against other commercially available software.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Automatic segmentation of the coronary artery using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images can facilitate several analyses related to coronary artery disease (CAD). Accurate segmentation of the lumen or plaque region is one of the mos...

LensePro: label noise-tolerant prototype-based network for improving cancer detection in prostate ultrasound with limited annotations.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The standard of care for prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis is the histopathological analysis of tissue samples obtained via transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy. Models built with deep neural networks (DNNs) hold the potential for direc...
