Plane wave imaging (PWI), a typical ultrafast medical ultrasound imaging mode, adopts single plane wave emission without focusing to achieve a high frame rate. However, the imaging quality is severely degraded in comparison with the commonly used foc...
Background Conventional radiologic modalities perform poorly in the radiated rectum and are often unable to differentiate residual cancer from treatment scarring. Purpose To report the development and initial patient study of an imaging system compri...
A rotator cuff tear (RCT) is an injury in adults that causes difficulty in moving, weakness, and pain. Only limited diagnostic tools such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound Imaging (UI) systems can be utilized for an RCT diagnosis. Al...
Monitoring skin layers with medical imaging is critical to diagnosing and treating patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases. The high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) makes it possible to monitor skin condition in different dermatoses. Accurate an...
