Liver lesion segmentation in ultrasound: A benchmark and a baseline network.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Accurate liver lesion segmentation in ultrasound is a challenging task due to high speckle noise, ambiguous lesion boundaries, and inhomogeneous intensity distribution inside the lesion regions. This work first collected and annotated a dataset for l...

Association between muscle mass assessed by an artificial intelligence-based ultrasound imaging system and quality of life in patients with cancer-related malnutrition.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
INTRODUCTION: Emerging evidence suggests that diminished skeletal muscle mass is associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in individuals with cancer. There are no studies that we know of in the literature that use ultrasound syste...

SSAT-Swin: Deep Learning-Based Spinal Ultrasound Feature Segmentation for Scoliosis Using Self-Supervised Swin Transformer.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Scoliosis, a 3-D spinal deformity, requires early detection and intervention. Ultrasound curve angle (UCA) measurement using ultrasound images has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool. However, calculating the UCA directly from ultrasoun...

Development of Artificial Intelligence-based Real-time Automatic Fusion of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Transrectal Ultrasonography of the Prostate.

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To report the development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based software to allow for the autonomous fusion of transrectal ultrasound and multiparametric magnetic resonance images of the prostate to be used during transperineal prostate bi...

Diagnostic value of deep learning of multimodal imaging of thyroid for TI-RADS category 3-5 classification.

Endocrine
BACKGROUND: Thyroid nodules classified within the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TI-RADS) category 3-5 are typically regarded as having varying degrees of malignancy risk, with the risk increasing from TI-RADS 3 to TI-RADS 5. While some ...

Deep Augmented Metric Learning Network for Prostate Cancer Classification in Ultrasound Images.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Prostate cancer screening often relies on cost-intensive MRIs and invasive needle biopsies. Transrectal ultrasound imaging, as a more affordable and non-invasive alternative, faces the challenge of high inter-class similarity and intra-class variabil...

Multi-task interaction learning for accurate segmentation and classification of breast tumors in ultrasound images.

Physics in medicine and biology
In breast diagnostic imaging, the morphological variability of breast tumors and the inherent ambiguity of ultrasound images pose significant challenges. Moreover, multi-task computer-aided diagnosis systems in breast imaging may overlook inherent re...

Performance of a point-of-care ultrasound platform for artificial intelligence-enabled assessment of pulmonary B-lines.

Cardiovascular ultrasound
BACKGROUND: The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) platforms has rapidly increased. The number of B-lines present on lung ultrasound (LUS) serve as a useful tool for the assessment of pulmonary congest...

Complex-Valued Convolutional Gated Recurrent Neural Network for Ultrasound Beamforming.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Ultrasound detection is a potent tool for the clinical diagnosis of various diseases due to its real-time, convenient, and noninvasive qualities. Yet, existing ultrasound beamforming and related methods face a big challenge to improve both the qualit...
