A fuzzy clustering based color-coded diagram for effective illustration of blood perfusion parameters in contrast-enhanced ultrasound videos.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Early identification and diagnosis of tumors are of great significance to improve the survival rate of patients. Amongst other techniques, contrast-enhanced ultrasound is an important means to help doctors diagnose tumors. D...

Prediction of fetal weight at varying gestational age in the absence of ultrasound examination using ensemble learning.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Obstetric ultrasound examination of physiological parameters has been mainly used to estimate the fetal weight during pregnancy and baby weight before labour to monitor fetal growth and reduce prenatal morbidity and mortality. However, the problem is...

Prediction of marbling score and carcass traits in Korean Hanwoo beef cattle using machine learning methods and synthetic minority oversampling technique.

Meat science
Pricing of Hanwoo beef in the Korean market is primarily based on meat quality, and particularly on marbling score. The ability to accurately predict marbling score early in the life of an animal is extremely valuable for producers to meet the requir...

Automatic kidney segmentation in ultrasound images using subsequent boundary distance regression and pixelwise classification networks.

Medical image analysis
It remains challenging to automatically segment kidneys in clinical ultrasound (US) images due to the kidneys' varied shapes and image intensity distributions, although semi-automatic methods have achieved promising performance. In this study, we pro...

Deep Learning-Based Segmentation of Nodules in Thyroid Ultrasound: Improving Performance by Utilizing Markers Present in the Images.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Computer-aided segmentation of thyroid nodules in ultrasound imaging could assist in their accurate characterization. In this study, using data for 1278 nodules, we proposed and evaluated two methods for deep learning-based segmentation of thyroid no...

Statistical and machine learning methodology for abdominal aortic aneurysm prediction from ultrasound screenings.

Echocardiography (Mount Kisco, N.Y.)
A method of analysis of a database of patients (n = 10 329) screened for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is presented. Self-reported height, weight, age, gender, ethnicity, and parameters "Heart Problems," "Hypertension," "High Cholesterol," "Diab...

Ultrafast Plane Wave Imaging With Line-Scan-Quality Using an Ultrasound-Transfer Generative Adversarial Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
In the medical ultrasound field, ultrafast imaging has recently become a hot topic. However, the diagnostic reliability of ultrafast high-frame rate plane-wave (PW) imaging is reduced by its low-quality images. The medical ultrasound equipment on the...

Classification and Diagnosis of Thyroid Carcinoma Using Reinforcement Residual Network with Visual Attention Mechanisms in Ultrasound Images.

Journal of medical systems
How to differentiate thyroid cancer nodules from a large number of benign nodules is always a challenging subject for clinicians. This paper proposes a novel Sal-deel network model to achieve the classification and diagnosis of thyroid cancer, which ...

CR-Unet: A Composite Network for Ovary and Follicle Segmentation in Ultrasound Images.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is widely used in infertility treatment. The size and shape of the ovary and follicles must be measured manually for assessing their physiological status by sonographers. However, this process is extremely time-consumin...

Optimizing robot motion for robotic ultrasound-guided radiation therapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
An important aspect of robotic radiation therapy is active compensation of target motion. Recently, ultrasound has been proposed to obtain real-time volumetric images of abdominal organ motion. One approach to realize flexible probe placement through...
