AIM: In this paper we proposed different architectures of convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify fatty liver disease in images using only pixels and diagnosis labels as input. We trained and validated our models using a dataset of 629 images ...
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) was used to classify rabbits that were induced to have liver disease by placing them on a fatty diet for a defined duration and/or periodically injecting them with CCl. The ground truth of the liver state was based on li...
In this paper, we present a segmentation and classification method for thyroid follicular neoplasms based on a combination of the prior-based level set method and deep convolutional neural network. The proposed method aims to discriminate thyroid fol...
Brain injury remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. We evaluated the feasibility of using a pediatric swine model to develop contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-based measures of brain perfusion for clinical application in va...
The homodyned K (HK) distribution allows a general description of ultrasound backscatter envelope statistics with specific physical meanings. In this study, we proposed a new artificial neural network (ANN) based parameter estimation method of the HK...
Biomedical imaging is unequivocally dependent on the ability to reconstruct interpretable and high-quality images from acquired sensor data. This reconstruction process is pivotal across many applications, spanning from magnetic resonance imaging to ...
Delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming is unable to identify individual scatterers when their density is so high that their point spread functions overlap. This paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method to detect and localize high-den...
This study aims to enable effective breast ultrasound image classification by combining deep features with conventional handcrafted features to classify the tumors. In particular, the deep features are extracted from a pre-trained convolutional neura...
Salivary gland ultrasonography (SGUS) has proven to be a promising tool for diagnosing various diseases manifesting with abnormalities in salivary glands (SGs), including primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). At present, the major obstacle for establishi...

It is necessary to monitor the mechanical properties of arteries which directly related to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in the early stages. In this study, we proposed a new method based on deep learning (DL) to track the displacement of the vessel...
