Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) can resolve the microvascular bed down to a few micrometers. To achieve such performance, microbubble contrast agents must perfuse the entire microvascular network. Microbubbles are then located individually a...
Nerve area and motion in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are currently under investigation in terms of prognostic potential. Therefore, there is increasing interest in non-invasive measurement of the nerve using ultrasound. Manual segmentation is time c...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Liver tumor ablation is often guided by ultrasound (US). Due to poor image quality, intraoperative US is fused with preoperative computed tomography or magnetic tomography (CT/MR) images to provide visual guidance. As of tod...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a convolutional neural network system to jointly segment and classify a hepatic lesion selected by user clicks in ultrasound images.
PURPOSE: There are currently few specific artificial intelligence (AI) studies for Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4A lesions. This study aimed to establish an AI diagnostic model of breast lesions using two-dimensional gr...
The clinical application of breast ultrasound for the assessment of cancer risk and of deep learning for the classification of breast-ultrasound images has been hindered by inter-grader variability and high false positive rates and by deep-learning m...
: At present, thyroid disorders have a great incidence in the worldwide population, so the development of alternative methods for improving the diagnosis process is necessary. : For this purpose, we developed an ensemble method that fused two deep le...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate the performance of a radiomics and machine learning model applied to ultrasound (US) images in predicting the risk of malignancy of a uterine mesenchymal lesion.
Ultrasound (US), a flexible green imaging modality, is expanding globally as a first-line imaging technique in various clinical fields following with the continual emergence of advanced ultrasonic technologies and the well-established US-based digital ...
