Shortness of breath is a major reason that patients present to the emergency department (ED) and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been shown to aid in diagnosis, particularly through evaluation for artifacts known as B-lines. B-line identificatio...
The automated whole breast ultrasound (AWBUS) is a new breast imaging technique that can depict the whole breast anatomy. To facilitate the reading of AWBUS images and support the breast density estimation, an automatic breast anatomy segmentation me...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate machine learning-based classifiers in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score 3 lesions.
Carpal tunnel syndrome commonly occurs in individuals working in occupations that involve use of vibrating manual tools or tasks with highly repetitive and forceful manual exertion. In recent years, carpal tunnel syndrome has been evaluated by ultras...
OBJECTIVES: We have previously shown that neural network technology can be used for scoring arthritis disease activity in ultrasound images from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, giving scores according to the EULAR-OMERACT grading system. We have ...

PURPOSE: We investigate the feasibility of reconstructing ultrasound images directly from raw channel data using a deep learning network. Starting from the raw data, we present the network the full measurement information, allowing for a more generic...
The emergence of deep-learning methods in different computer vision tasks has proved to offer increased detection, recognition or segmentation accuracy when large annotated image datasets are available. In the case of medical image processing and com...
One application of medical ultrasound imaging is to visualize and characterize human tongue shape and motion in real-time to study healthy or impaired speech production. Due to the low-contrast characteristic and noisy nature of ultrasound images, it...
