Detecting and localizing an anatomical structure of interest within the field of view of an ultrasound scan is an essential step in many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. However, ultrasound scans suffer from high levels of variabilities across ...
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent malignant liver tumor and the third cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. For many years, the golden standard for HCC diagnosis has been the needle biopsy, which is invasive and carries risks. C...
. There is a growing number of publications on the application of unpaired image-to-image (I2I) translation in medical imaging. However, a systematic review covering the current state of this topic for medical physicists is lacking. The aim of this a...

PURPOSE: Accurate needle placement into the target point is critical for ultrasound interventions like biopsies and epidural injections. However, aligning the needle to the thin plane of the transducer is a challenging issue as it leads to the decay ...
. As part of image-guided radiotherapy, ultrasound-guided radiotherapy is currently already in use and under investigation for robot assisted systems Ipsen 2021. It promises a real-time tumor localization during irradiation (intrafractional) without ...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and investigate a deep learning model with data integration of ultrasound contrast-enhanced micro-flow (CEMF) cines, B-mode images, and patients' clinical parameters to improve the diagnosis of significant liver fibrosis (≥ F2) ...
OBJECTIVE: The morphological dynamics of the median nerve across the level extracted from dynamic ultrasonography are valuable for the diagnosis and evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but the data extraction requires tremendous labor to manu...
