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 ...

PURPOSE: Accurate placement of the needle is critical in interventions like biopsies and regional anesthesia, during which incorrect needle insertion can lead to procedure failure and complications. Therefore, ultrasound guidance is widely used to im...
Diffuse reverberation is ultrasound image noise caused by multiple reflections of the transmitted pulse before returning to the transducer, which degrades image quality and impedes the estimation of displacement or flow in techniques such as elastogr...
Malignant melanoma (MM) is one of the most dangerous skin cancers. The aim of this study was to present a potential new method for the differential diagnosis of MM from melanocytic naevi (MN). We examined 20 MM and 19 MN with a new ultra-high-frequen...
