We aimed to assess the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based real-time anatomy identification software specifically developed to ease image interpretation intended for ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block (UGPNB). Forty healthy partic...
PURPOSE: Current prostate brachytherapy uses transrectal ultrasound images for implant guidance, where contours of the prostate and organs-at-risk are necessary for treatment planning and dose evaluation. This work aims to develop a deep learning-bas...

BACKGROUND: Needle insertions have been used in several minimally invasive procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Real-time position of the needle tip is an important information in needle steering systems.
Correctly calculating skin stiffness with ultrasound shear wave elastography techniques requires an accurate measurement of skin thickness. We developed and compared two algorithms, a thresholding method and a deep learning method, to measure skin th...
Current experience suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) may be useful in the management of hospitalized patients, including those with COVID-19. In light of the challenges faced with diagnostic and prognostic indicator...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: This study aims to construct a strategy that uses assistance from artificial intelligence (AI) to assist radiologists in the identification of malignant versus benign focal liver lesions (FLLs) using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (...
IMPORTANCE: Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) is a strong indicator of decline in kidney function and is measured using histopathological assessment of kidney biopsy core. At present, a noninvasive test to assess IFTA is not available.
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...
