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. ...

A Data-Driven Approach for Estimating Temperature Variations Based on B-mode Ultrasound Images and Changes in Backscattered Energy
Ultrason Imaging. 2023 Dec 1:1617346231205810. doi: 10.1177/01617346231205810. Online ahead of print.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 bot...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEfficient Neural Architecture Search (ENAS) is a recent development in searching for optimal cell structures for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) design. It has been successfully used in various applications including ultrasound image classification for breast lesions. However, the existing ENAS approach only optimizes cell structures rather than the whole CNN architecture nor its trainable hyperparameters. This paper presents a novel framework for automatic design of CNN architectures by combining strengths of E...

High-frequency Quantitative Ultrasound Imaging of Human Rotator Cuff Muscles: Assessment of Repeatability and Reproducibility
This study evaluated the repeatability and reproducibility of using high-frequency quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurement of backscatter coefficient (BSC), grayscale analysis, and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) textural analysis, to characterize human rotator cuff muscles. The effects of varying scanner settings across two different operators and two US systems were investigated in a healthy volunteer with normal rotator cuff muscles and a patient with chronic massive rotator cuff injury and substantial muscle degeneration. The results suggest that BSC is a promising method for assessing rotator cuff muscles in ...
