Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging is a safe, reliable, inexpensive, and real-time technique to extract physically descriptive parameters for assessing pathologies. Compared with other major imaging modalities such as computed tomography and magne...
In recent years, deep learning has been widely used in breast cancer diagnosis, and many high-performance models have emerged. However, most of the existing deep learning models are mainly based on static breast ultrasound (US) images. In actual diag...
This study presents the first application of convolutional neural networks to high-frequency ultrasound skin image classification. This type of imaging opens up new opportunities in dermatology, showing inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of deep learning-based detection and classification of carotid plaque (DL-DCCP) in carotid plaque contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).
A focused cardiac ultrasound performed by an emergency physician is becoming part of the standard assessment of patients in a variety of clinical situations. The development of inexpensive, portable handheld devices promises to make point-of-care ult...
