High-frame-rate ultrasound imaging uses unfocused transmissions to insonify an entire imaging view for each transmit event, thereby enabling frame rates over 1000 frames per second (fps). At these high frame rates, it is naturally challenging to real...

Ultrasound (US) imaging is recognized as a useful support for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) assessment through the evaluation of median nerve morphology. However, US is still far to be systematically adopted to evaluate this common entrapment neuropat...
UNLABELLED: This research aimed to evaluate Mask R-CNN and U-Net convolutional neural network models for pixel-level classification in order to perform the automatic segmentation of bi-dimensional images of US dental arches, identifying anatomical el...
Prostate biopsy and image-guided treatment procedures are often performed under the guidance of ultrasound fused with magnetic resonance images (MRI). Accurate image fusion relies on accurate segmentation of the prostate on ultrasound images. Yet, th...
OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major healthcare challenge and therefore early risk assessment is vital. Previous assessment techniques use either "conventional CVD risk calculators (CCVRC)" or machine learning (ML) paradigms. These tech...
PURPOSE: Intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) of the liver is a crucial adjunct in every liver resection and may significantly impact intraoperative surgical decisions. However, IOUS is highly operator dependent and has a steep learning curve. We de...

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...
