BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Carotid B-mode ultrasound (CBUS) imaging is often used to detect and assess atherosclerotic plaques. Doctors often need to segment plaques in the CBUS images to further examine them. Multiple studies have proposed two-dimens...
Testicular histology based on testicular biopsy is an important factor for determining appropriate testicular sperm extraction surgery and predicting sperm retrieval outcomes in patients with azoospermia. Therefore, we developed a deep learning (DL) ...
Sparse matrix beamforming (SMB) is a computationally efficient reformulation of delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming as a single sparse matrix multiplication. This reformulation can potentially dovetail with machine learning platforms like TensorFlow and ...
The application of machine learning to tasks involving volumetric biomedical imaging is constrained by the limited availability of annotated datasets of three-dimensional (3D) scans for model training. Here we report a deep-learning model pre-trained...
Despite the increasing use of lung ultrasound (LUS) in the evaluation of respiratory disease, operators' competence constrains its effectiveness. We developed a deep-learning (DL) model for multi-label classification using LUS and validated its perfo...
BACKGROUND: Temperature prediction is crucial in the clinical ablation treatment of liver cancer, as it can be used to estimate the coagulation zone of microwave ablation.
OBJECTIVE: Accurate assessment of Fuhrman grade is crucial for optimal clinical management and personalized treatment strategies in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). In this study, we developed a predictive model using ultrasound...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: In this preliminary study, we aimed to develop a deep learning model using ultrasound single view cines that distinguishes between imaging of normal gallbladder, non-urgent cholelithiasis, and acute calculous cholecystitis r...
OBJECTIVE: Approximately 30 % of thyroid nodules yield an indeterminate diagnosis through conventional diagnostic strategies. The aim of this study was to develop machine learning (ML) models capable of identifying papillary thyroid carcinomas using ...
