Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally associated with human intelligence. At present, AI has been widely used in a variety of ultrasound tasks, including in point-of-c...
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound (US) has great potential for application in computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) due to its non-radiative, cost-effective, and portable traits. However, bone segmentation from low-quality US images has been challenging. ...
OBJECTIVE: Early and accurate prediction of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is crucial in determining appropriate treatment strategies for patients with early-stage breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of radiomic f...

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the performance of pre-trained deep learning schemes (DLS) in hepatic steatosis (HS) grading of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) patients, using as input B-mode US images containing right kidney (RK) cort...
One of the primary sources of suboptimal image quality in ultrasound imaging is phase aberration. It is caused by spatial changes in sound speed over a heterogeneous medium, which disturbs the transmitted waves and prevents coherent summation of echo...
The prevalence of fatty liver disease is on the rise, posing a significant global health concern. If left untreated, it can progress into more serious liver diseases. Therefore, accurately diagnosing the condition at an early stage is essential for m...
