PURPOSE: Robot-assisted needle insertion guided by 2D ultrasound (US) can effectively improve the accuracy and success rate of clinical puncture. To this end, automatic and accurate needle-tracking methods are important for monitoring puncture proces...
Deep learning is a powerful tool that became practical in 2008, harnessing the power of Graphic Processing Unites, and has developed rapidly in image, video, and natural language processing. There are ongoing developments in the application of deep l...
OBJECTIVES: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is considered the standard of treatment for most patients with BC. However, response rates to NAC vary among patients, which leads to dela...
In this study, we aimed to develop a new automated method for kidney volume measurement in children using ultrasonography (US) with image pre-processing and hybrid learning and to formulate an equation to calculate the expected kidney volume. The vol...
To compare the diagnostic performances of physicians and a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) predicting malignancy with ultrasonography images of thyroid nodules with atypia of undetermined significance (AUS)/follicular lesion of undetermined s...
In order to discuss the clinical characteristics of patients with scapular fracture, deep learning model was adopted in ultrasound images of patients to locate the anesthesia point of patients during scapular fracture surgery treated with the regiona...
