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...
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...

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...
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 ...
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...
