Studies of medical flow imaging have technical limitations for accurate analysis of blood flow dynamics and vessel wall interaction at arteries. We propose a new deep learning-based boundary detection and compensation (DL-BDC) technique in ultrasound...
The next generation of intelligent robotic systems has been envisioned as micro-scale mobile and externally controllable robots. Visualization of such small size microrobots to track their motion in nontransparent medium such as human tissue remains ...
Deep learning (DL) has proved successful in medical imaging and, in the wake of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, some works have started to investigate DL-based solutions for the assisted diagnosis of lung diseases. While existing works focus on CT scan...

PURPOSE: Precise localization of cystic bone lesions is crucial for osteolytic bone tumor surgery. Recently, there is a move toward ultrasound imaging over plain radiographs (X-rays) for intra-operative navigation due to the radiation-free and cost-e...
The use of intraoral ultrasound imaging has received great attention recently due to the benefits of being a portable and low-cost imaging solution for initial and continuing care that is noninvasive and free of ionizing radiation. Alveolar bone is a...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: EUS is considered one of the most sensitive modalities for pancreatic cancer detection, but it is highly operator-dependent and the learning curve is steep. In this study, we constructed a system named BP MASTER (pancreaticobilia...
BACKGROUND: Trigger finger is a common hand disease, which is caused by a mismatch in diameter between the tendon and the pulley. Ultrasound images are typically used to diagnose this disease, which are also used to guide surgical treatment. However,...
