Abstract Objective Segmentation of brain sulci in pre-term infants is crucial for monitoring their development. While magnetic resonance imaging has been used for this purpose, cranial ultrasound (cUS) is the…
Abstract Objective In the majority of animal experiments, vein puncture is necessary for the drugs administration. This study aimed to propose a new vein puncture method, ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein…
Abstract Objectives To implement, examine the feasibility of, and evaluate the performance of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) with a handheld point-of-care US (POCUS) device for assessing liver fat in adults. Materials…
Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the viability of a hypothesis for selective targeting of skin cancer cells by exploiting the spectral gap with healthy cells using analytical and…
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally associated with human intelligence. At present, AI has been widely used…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a diagnostic model for gouty arthritis by integrating ultrasonographic radiomic features with clinical parameters. Methods A total of 604 patients suspected…
Abstract Objective To investigate the effects of ultrasound treatment on the healing of hip bone fractures using frequencies of 0.5 MHz and 1.5 MHz with constant intensity (30 mW/cm 2…
Abstract Objective Near-field (NF) clutter filters are critical for unveiling true myocardial structure and dynamics. Randomized singular value decomposition (rSVD) stands out for its proven computational efficiency and robustness. This…
Abstract Objective Conventional coherent plane wave compounding (CPWC) and sum-of-square power Doppler (PD) estimation lead to low contrast and high noise level in ultrafast PD imaging when the number of…
Abstract Objective To develop and compare methods to automatically estimate regional ultrasound image quality for echocardiography separate from view correctness. Methods Three methods for estimating image quality were developed: (i)…
