PURPOSE: Autonomous ultrasound imaging by robotic ultrasound scanning systems in complex soft uncertain clinical environments is important and challenging to assist in therapy. To cope with the complex environment faced by the ultrasound probe during...
Diagnosing liver steatosis is an essential precaution for detecting hepatocirrhosis and liver cancer in the early stages. However, automatic diagnosis of liver steatosis from ultrasound (US) images remains challenging due to poor visual quality from ...

Measurement of total-plaque-area (TPA) is important for determining long term risk for stroke and monitoring carotid plaque progression. Since delineation of carotid plaques is required, a deep learning method can provide automatic plaque segmentatio...
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a diagnostic modality used during percutaneous coronary intervention. However, specialist skills are required to interpret IVUS images. To address this issue, we developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) program ...
PURPOSE: The ability of ultrasound to assess pathology is increasing with the development of quantitative parameters. Among these are a set of parameters derived from the recent H-scan analysis of subresolvable scattering. The emergence of these quan...
The automated and accurate carotid plaque segmentation in B-mode ultrasound (US) is an essential part of stroke risk stratification. Previous segmented methods used AtheroEdge™ 2.0 (AtheroPoint™, Roseville, CA) for the common carotid artery (CCA). Th...
As point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) becomes more integrated into clinical practice, it is essential to address all aspects of ultrasound operator proficiency. Ultrasound proficiency requires the ability to acquire, interpret and integrate bedside ult...
BACKGROUND: Telesonography systems have been developed to overcome barriers to accessing diagnostic ultrasound for patients in rural and remote communities. However, most previous telesonography systems have been designed for performing only abdomina...
