Application Value of Ultrasound Elastography Combined With Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) Quantitative Analysis in Differentiation of Nodular Fibrocystic Changes of the Breast From Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
This study aimed to compare the value of ultrasound elastography combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) quantitative analysis in the differentiation of nodular fibrocystic breast change (FBC) from breast invasive ductal carcinoma (BIDC). We selected 50 patients each with nodular FBC and BIDC, who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021. Their ultrasonic elastic images and CEUS videos were collected, their ultrasound elastography scores and the ratio of strain rate (SR) of the lesions were determined, and the exported DICOM format videos of CEUS were...

A Data-Driven Approach for Estimating Temperature Variations Based on B-mode Ultrasound Images and Changes in Backscattered Energy
Ultrason Imaging. 2024 Jan;46(1):3-16. doi: 10.1177/01617346231205810. Epub 2023 Dec 1.ABSTRACTThermal treatments that use ultrasound devices as a tool have as a key point the temperature control to be applied in a specific region of the patient's body. This kind of procedure requires caution because the wrong regulation can either limit the treatment or aggravate an existing injury. Therefore, determining the temperature in a region of interest in real-time is a subject of high interest. Although this is still an open problem, in the field of ultrasound analysis, the use of machine learning as a tool for both imaging and ...

Volumetric B-mode ultrasound and Doppler Imaging: Automatic Tracking With One Single Camera
Ultrason Imaging. 2023 Dec 1:1617346231213385. doi: 10.1177/01617346231213385. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVascular diseases may occur in the upper extremities, and the lesions can span the entire length of the blood vessel. One of the most popular methods to identify vascular disorders is ultrasound Doppler imaging. However, traditional two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound Doppler imaging cannot capture the entire length of a long vessel in one image. Medical professionals often have to painstakingly reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) data using 2D ultrasound images to locate the lesions, especially for large blood vessels. ...
