Machine learning has been widely used in medical image analysis under an assumption that the training and test data are under the same feature distributions. However, medical images from difference devices or the same device with different parameter ...
Acute appendicitis is one of the major causes for emergency surgery in childhood and adolescence. Appendectomy is still the therapy of choice, but conservative strategies are increasingly being studied for uncomplicated inflammation. Diagnosis of acu...
The goal of this study is to estimate micro-architectural parameters of cortical porosity such as pore diameter (φ), pore density (ρ) and porosity (ν) of cortical bone from ultrasound frequency dependent attenuation using an artificial neural network...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently led to significant advances in automatic segmentations of anatomical structures in medical images, and a wide variety of network architectures are now available to the research community. For applica...
Body condition score (BCS) is a common tool for indirectly estimating the mobilization of energy reserves in the fat and muscle of cattle that meets the requirements of animal welfare and precision livestock farming for the effective monitoring of in...
BACKGROUND: Improving imaging quality is a fundamental problem in ultrasound contrast agent imaging (UCAI) research. Plane wave imaging (PWI) has been deemed as a potential method for UCAI due to its' high frame rate and low mechanical index. High fr...
We have previously developed a robotic ultrasound imaging system for motion monitoring in abdominal radiation therapy. Owing to the slow speed of ultrasound image processing, our previous system could only track abdominal motions under breath-hold. T...

Microwave ablation (MWA) for cancer treatment is frequently monitored by ultrasound (US) B-mode imaging in the clinic, which often fails due to the low intrinsic contrast between the thermal lesion and normal tissue. Deep learning, especially convolu...
Accurate diagnosis of thyroid nodules using ultrasonography is a valuable but tough task even for experienced radiologists, considering both benign and malignant nodules have heterogeneous appearances. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) methods could pot...
