PURPOSE: Noise-free ultrasound images are essential for organ monitoring during regional ultrasound-guided therapy. When the affected area is located under the ribs, however, acoustic shadow is caused by the reflection of sound from hard tissues such...
Peripheral nerve blocking (PNB) is a standard procedure to support regional anesthesia. Still, correct localization of the nerve's structure is needed to avoid adverse effects; thereby, ultrasound images are used as an aid approach. In addition, imag...

OBJECTIVE: The speed of sound (SoS) has great potential as a quantitative imaging biomarker since it is sensitive to pathological changes in tissues. In this paper, a target-aware deep neural (TAD) network reconstructing an SoS image quantitatively f...
Compressional or quasi-static elastography has demonstrated the capability to detect occult cancers in a variety of tissue types, however it has a serious limitation in that the resulting elastograms are generally qualitative whereas other forms of e...
PURPOSE: The incidence of thyroid cancer has significantly increased in the last few decades. However, diagnosis of the thyroid nodules is labor and time intensive for radiologists and strongly depends on the personal experience of the radiologists. ...
PURPOSE: Ultrasound (US) imaging is an established imaging modality capable of offering video-rate volumetric images without ionizing radiation. It has the potential for intra-fraction motion tracking in radiation therapy. In this study, a deep learn...
