PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to create a deep learning algorithm to infer the benign or malignant nature of breast nodules using two-dimensional B-mode ultrasound data initially marked as BI-RADS 3 and 4.
We present an accurate, fast and efficient method for segmentation and muscle mask propagation in 3D freehand ultrasound data, towards accurate volume quantification. A deep Siamese 3D Encoder-Decoder network that captures the evolution of the muscle...
Deep learning can bring time savings and increased reproducibility to medical image analysis. However, acquiring training data is challenging due to the time-intensive nature of labeling and high inter-observer variability in annotations. Rather than...
Though consistently shown to detect mammographically occult cancers, breast ultrasound has been noted to have high false-positive rates. In this work, we present an AI system that achieves radiologist-level accuracy in identifying breast cancer in ul...
Medical image registration is an essential technique to achieve spatial consistency geometric positions of different medical images obtained from single- or multi-sensor, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and ultrasound (US) ...
This study was to analyze the effect of the combined application of deep learning technology and ultrasound imaging on the effect of breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer. A deep label distribution learning (LDL) model was designed, and the sem...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Fast and robust alignment of pre-operative MRI planning scans to intra-operative ultrasound is an important aspect for automatically supporting image-guided interventions. Thus far, learning-based approaches have failed to t...
Three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the spine surface is of strong clinical relevance for the diagnosis and prognosis of spine disorders and intra-operative image guidance. In this paper, we report a new technique to reconstruct lumbar spine su...
Large scale early scanning of fetuses via ultrasound imaging is widely used to alleviate the morbidity or mortality caused by congenital anomalies in fetal hearts and lungs. To reduce the intensive cost during manual recognition of organ regions, man...
