OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to propose a deep learning (DL)-based framework for identifying the composition of thyroid nodules and assessing their malignancy risk.
BACKGROUND: Compression ultrasonography of the leg is established for triaging proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). AutoDVT, a machine-learning software, provides a tool for nonspecialists in acquiring compression sequences to be revi...

PURPOSE: Scanning path planning is an essential technology for fully automated ultrasound (US) robotics. During biliary scanning, the subcostal boundary is critical body surface landmarks for scanning path planning but are often invisible, depending ...
Addition of a denoising filter step in ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) has been shown to effectively reduce the error localizations of microbubbles (MBs) and achieve resolution improvement for super-resolution ultrasound (SR-US) imaging. How...
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasonography (US) features of papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs) are used to select nodules for biopsy due to their association with tumor behavior. However, the molecular biological mechanisms that lead to the characteristic US featur...

This scoping review examines the emerging field of synthetic ultrasound generation using machine learning (ML) models in radiology. Nineteen studies were analyzed, revealing three primary methodological strategies: unconditional generation, condition...
The despeckling of ultrasound images contributes to the enhancement of image quality and facilitates precise treatment of conditions such as tumor cancers. However, the use of existing methods for eliminating speckle noise can cause the loss of image...
Accurate measurement of blood flow velocity is important for the prevention and early diagnosis of atherosclerosis. However, due to the uncertainty of parameter settings, the autocorrelation velocimetry methods based on clutter filtering are prone to...
