PURPOSE: We aimed to propose a highly automatic and objective model named deep learning Radiomics of thyroid (DLRT) for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules from ultrasound (US) images.
By localizing microbubbles (MBs) in the vasculature, ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) has recently been proposed, which greatly improves the spatial resolution of ultrasound (US) imaging and will be helpful for clinical diagnosis. Nevertheles...
Ultrasound molecular imaging (UMI) is enabled by targeted microbubbles (MBs), which are highly reflective ultrasound contrast agents that bind to specific biomarkers. Distinguishing between adherent MBs and background signals can be challenging in vi...
PURPOSE: Needle-based procedures for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer, such as biopsy and brachytherapy, have incorporated three-dimensional (3D) transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging to improve needle guidance. Using these images effectively ...
PURPOSE: The prediction of atherosclerosis using retinal fundus images and deep learning has not been shown possible. The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning model which predicted atherosclerosis by using retinal fundus images and to...
Computer-aided diagnosis systems have been developed to assist doctors in diagnosing thyroid nodules to reduce errors made by traditional diagnosis methods, which are mainly based on the experiences of doctors. Therefore, the performance of such syst...
Fibromyalgia (FM) diagnosis remains a challenge for clinicians due to a lack of objective diagnostic tools. One proposed solution is the use of quantitative ultrasound (US) techniques, such as image texture analysis, which has demonstrated discrimina...

Current classification systems for thyroid nodules are very subjective. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been used to decrease subjectivity in medical image interpretation. One out of 2 women over the age of 50 years may have a thyroid n...
Accurate identification of axillary lymph node (ALN) involvement in patients with early-stage breast cancer is important for determining appropriate axillary treatment options and therefore avoiding unnecessary axillary surgery and complications. Her...

In ultrasound (US) imaging, various types of adaptive beamforming techniques have been investigated to improve the resolution and the contrast-to-noise ratio of the delay and sum (DAS) beamformers. Unfortunately, the performance of these adaptive bea...
