Delineating lesion boundaries play a central role in diagnosing thyroid and breast cancers, making related therapy plans and evaluating therapeutic effects. However, it is often time-consuming and error-prone with limited reproducibility to manually ...
PURPOSE: The quality of ultrasound images is degraded by speckle and Gaussian noises. This study aims to develop a deep-learning (DL)-based filter for ultrasound image denoising.
Efficient Neural Architecture Search (ENAS) is a recent development in searching for optimal cell structures for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) design. It has been successfully used in various applications including ultrasound image classificatio...

OBJECTIVE: Telemedicine can offer services to remote patients regardless of the distance. Fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks may make telemedicine practical because of their low latency. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a...
This study aims to restore grating lobe artifacts and improve the image resolution of sparse array ultrasonography via a deep learning predictive model. A deep learning assisted sparse array was developed using only 64 or 16 channels out of the 128 c...
Ultrasound is an adjunct tool to mammography that can quickly and safely aid physicians in diagnosing breast abnormalities. Clinical ultrasound often assumes a constant sound speed to form diagnostic B-mode images. However, the components of breast t...
BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of the clinical target volume (CTV) corresponding to the prostate with or without proximal seminal vesicles is required on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images during prostate brachytherapy procedures. Implanted need...
BACKGROUND: Most of superficial soft-tissue masses are benign tumors, and very few are malignant tumors. However, persistent growth, of both benign and malignant tumors, can be painful and even life-threatening. It is necessary to improve the differe...
Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to aid in fetal development. It has the advantage of being real-time, low-cost, non-invasive, and easy to use. However, fetal organ detection is a challenging task for obstetricians, it depends on several factors, ...
: Kidney ultrasound (US) imaging is a significant imaging modality for evaluating kidney health and is essential for diagnosis, treatment, surgical intervention planning, and follow-up assessments. Kidney US image segmentation consists of extracting ...
