Abstract Objective To evaluate the correlation between liver viscosity, as measured by shear wave dispersion (SWD), and fibrosis and inflammation in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Additionally, to assess its…
Abstract Objective The current diagnosis of salivary gland tumors (SGTs) is dependent on subjective ultrasound features. Here we aimed to develop an objective method using ultrasound radiomics. Methods We collected…
Abstract Objective Acoustic clutter is a major source of image degradation for in vivo ultrasound imaging. However, clutter is often not represented in laboratory testing of ultrasound equipment. A phantom…
Abstract Objective Nasal-to-brain (NtoB) delivery is a noninvasive approach that uses the nasal cavity as a pathway to transport therapeutic agents directly to the brain. This approach bypasses systemic circulation…
Abstract Objective To develop and validate an automated deep learning-based model for focal liver lesion (FLL) segmentation in a dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) video. Methods In this multi-center and retrospective…
Abstract Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a painful orthopedic malformation diagnosed at birth in 1–3% of all newborns. Left untreated, DDH can lead to significant morbidity including long-term…
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical effects of carotid shear wave elastography (SWE) in vivo as its effects on the arterial wall have not…
Abstract Objective To determine the CEUS parameters that predict the likelihood of postoperative EAD. Methods Clinical and imaging data for 75 pairs of donors and recipients collected between September 2022…
Abstract Objective Blood flow quantification using high frame-rate (HFR), contrast-enhanced ultrasound followed by particle image velocimetry (PIV), termed echoPIV, allows the study of blood flow phenomena in diseased arteries before…
Abstract Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a novel non-invasive treatment method that combines low-intensity ultrasound and sonosensitizers. Compared with photodynamic therapy, SDT has the advantages of deeper tissue penetration, higher accuracy…
