PURPOSE: Instrumented ultrasonic tracking provides needle localisation during ultrasound-guided minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. Here, a post-processing framework based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to improve the spa...
Recently, super-resolution ultrasound imaging with ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) has received much attention. However, ULM relies on low concentrations of microbubbles in the blood vessels, ultimately resulting in long acquisition times. H...
The aim of the work described here was to develop an ultrasound (US) image-based deep learning model to reduce the rate of malignancy among breast lesions diagnosed as category 4A of the Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) during the p...
Since radiology reports needed for clinical practice and research are written and stored in free-text narrations, extraction of relative information for further analysis is difficult. In these circumstances, natural language processing (NLP) techniqu...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Breast lesions segmentation is an important step of computer-aided diagnosis system. However, speckle noise, heterogeneous structure, and similar intensity distributions bring challenges for breast lesion segmentation.
BACKGROUND: Auxiliary diagnosis and monitoring of lung diseases based on lung ultrasound (LUS) images is important clinical research. A-line is one of the most common indicators of LUS that can offer support for the assessment of lung diseases. A tra...
Endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) improves the accuracy of bronchoscopy. The possibility of differentiating benign from malignant lesions based on EBUS findings may be useful in making the correct diagnosis. The convolutiona...
Median nerve swelling is one of the features of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and ultrasound measurement of maximum median nerve cross-sectional area is commonly used to diagnose CTS. We hypothesized that volume might be a more sensitive measure than...

Inherently ultrasound images are susceptible to noise which leads to several image quality issues. Hence, rating of an image's quality is crucial since diagnosing diseases requires accurate and high-quality ultrasound images. This research presents a...
