Image Segmentation and Machine Learning for Detection of Abdominal Free Fluid in Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma Examinations: A Pilot Study.

Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
The objective of this pilot study was to test the feasibility of automating the detection of abdominal free fluid in focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) examinations. Perihepatic views from 10 FAST examinations with positive results ...

IFCM Based Segmentation Method for Liver Ultrasound Images.

Journal of medical systems
In this paper we have proposed an iterative Fuzzy C-Mean (IFCM) method which divides the pixels present in the image into a set of clusters. This set of clusters is then used to segment a focal liver lesion from a liver ultrasound image. Advantage of...

A pre-trained convolutional neural network based method for thyroid nodule diagnosis.

Ultrasonics
In ultrasound images, most thyroid nodules are in heterogeneous appearances with various internal components and also have vague boundaries, so it is difficult for physicians to discriminate malignant thyroid nodules from benign ones. In this study, ...

Multimodal US-gamma imaging using collaborative robotics for cancer staging biopsies.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The staging of female breast cancer requires detailed information about the level of cancer spread through the lymphatic system. Common practice to obtain this information for patients with early-stage cancer is sentinel lymph node (SLN) bio...

Robotic ultrasound-guided SBRT of the prostate: feasibility with respect to plan quality.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Advances in radiation therapy delivery systems have enabled motion compensated SBRT of the prostate. A remaining challenge is the integration of fast, non-ionizing volumetric imaging. Recently, robotic ultrasound has been proposed as an intr...

Development of a control algorithm for the ultrasound scanning robot (NCCUSR) using ultrasound image and force feedback.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Clinicians who frequently perform ultrasound scanning procedures often suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis, and myalgias. To minimize their occurrence and to assist clinicians, ultrasound scanning robots have been developed w...

Computer-Aided Diagnosis with Deep Learning Architecture: Applications to Breast Lesions in US Images and Pulmonary Nodules in CT Scans.

Scientific reports
This paper performs a comprehensive study on the deep-learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant nodules/lesions by avoiding the potential errors caused by inaccurate image processing results...

Supervised domain adaptation of decision forests: Transfer of models trained in vitro for in vivo intravascular ultrasound tissue characterization.

Medical image analysis
In this paper, we propose a supervised domain adaptation (DA) framework for adapting decision forests in the presence of distribution shift between training (source) and testing (target) domains, given few labeled examples. We introduce a novel metho...

Evaluation of Underlying Lymphocytic Thyroiditis With Histogram Analysis Using Grayscale Ultrasound Images.

Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate diagnostic performance of histogram analysis using grayscale ultrasound (US) images in the diagnosis of lymphocytic thyroiditis.
