PURPOSE: The highly structured nature of medical reports makes them feasible for automated large-scale patient identification. This study aimed to develop a natural language processing (NLP) model to retrospectively retrieve patients with presence an...
Background Radiofrequency ultrasound data from the liver contain rich information about liver microstructure and composition. Deep learning might exploit such information to assess nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Purpose To develop and eval...
A novel approach for automatic localization of brachytherapy seeds in 3D transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images, using machine learning based algorithm, is presented. 3D radiofrequency ultrasound signals were collected from 13 patients using the linear...
Thyroid cancer is a disease in which the first symptom is a nodule in the thyroid region of the neck. It is one of the cancers with the highest incidences, and has the highest increase rate in the last thirty years. Ultrasonography is one of the most...

The objective is to test automated estimation of active and passive skeletal muscle states using ultrasonic imaging. Current technology (electromyography, dynamometry, shear wave imaging) provides no general, non-invasive method for online estimatio...
BACKGROUND: Ovarian torsion is a common concern in girls presenting to emergency care with pelvic or abdominal pain. The diagnosis is challenging to make accurately and quickly, relying on a combination of physical exam, history and radiologic evalua...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a clinical disease that caused by the compression of median nerve within carpal tunnel. Traditional examining for CTS is electrodiagnostic (EDx), but the evaluation of EDx is more expensive and time-consuming. In the p...
In recent years, there are several cost-effective intelligent sensing systems such as ultrasound imaging systems for visualizing the internal body structures of the body. Further, such intelligent sensing systems such as ultrasound systems have been ...
