BACKGROUND: Imaging examinations, such as ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans, play key roles in healthcare settings. To assess and improve the quality of imaging diagnosis, we need to manually find and compare t...
INTRODUCTION: Ovarian tumors are the most common diagnostic challenge for gynecologists and ultrasound examination has become the main technique for assessment of ovarian pathology and for preoperative distinction between malignant and benign ovarian...

OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound elastography is gaining traction as an accessible and useful diagnostic tool for things such as, cancer detection and differentiation and thyroid disease diagnostics. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art shear wave imaging techniques...
The goal of this work was to develop a method for accurate and robust automatic segmentation of the prostate clinical target volume in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images for brachytherapy. These images can be difficult to segment because of weak or...
BackgroundManagement of thyroid nodules may be inconsistent between different observers and time consuming for radiologists. An artificial intelligence system that uses deep learning may improve radiology workflow for management of thyroid nodules.Pu...
Cerebrovascular accident due to carotid artery disease is the most common cause of death in developed countries following heart disease and cancer. For a reliable early detection of atherosclerosis, Intima Media Thickness (IMT) measurement and classi...
With the development of theories and technologies in medical imaging, most of the tumors can be detected in the early stage. However, the nature of ovarian cysts lacks accurate judgement, leading to that many patients with benign nodules still need F...
