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 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)…
Abstract Objective Although FibroScan (FS), based on Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE), is a widely used non-invasive device for assessing liver fibrosis and steatosis, its current standard-VCTE examination remains timely and…
Abstract Objective Advanced imaging methods are crucial for understanding stroke mechanisms and discovering effective treatments to reduce bleeding and enhance recovery. In pre-clinical in vivo stroke imaging, MRI, CT and…
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to validate the ultrasound speckle tracking (UST) algorithm, determine the optimal probe location by comparing normalized cross-correlation (NCC) values of muscle displacement at two locations…
Abstract Background Skeletal muscle echo intensity (EI) is associated with functional outcomes in older adults, but resistance training interventions have shown mixed results. Texture analysis has been proposed as a…
