Thyroid Ultrasound Image Database and Marker Mask Inpainting Method for Research and Development
The main objective of this study was to build a rich and high-quality thyroid ultrasound image database (TUD) for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems to support accurate diagnosis and prognostic modeling of thyroid disorders. Because most of the raw thyroid ultrasound images contain artificial markers, which seriously affect the robustness of CAD systems because of their strong prior location information, we propose a marker mask inpainting (MMI) method to erase artificial markers and improve image quality.

Is the Corrected Carotid Flow Time a Clinically Acceptable Surrogate Hemodynamic Parameter for the Left Ventricular Ejection Time?
The corrected left ventricular ejection time (cLVET) comprises the phase from aortic valve opening to aortic valve closure corrected for heart rate. As a surrogate measure for cLVET, the corrected carotid flow time (ccFT) has been proposed in previous research. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical agreement between cLVET and ccFT in a dynamic clinical setting. (Source: Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology)

Adaptation of a Clinical High-Frequency Transrectal Ultrasound System for Prostate Photoacoustic Imaging: Implementation and Pre-clinical Demonstration
High-frequency, high-resolution transrectal micro-ultrasound (micro-US: ≥15 MHz) imaging of the prostate is emerging as a beneficial tool for scoring disease risk and accurately targeting biopsies. Adding photoacoustic (PA) imaging to visualize abnormal vascularization and accumulation of contrast agents in tumors has potential for guiding focal therapies. In this wor k, we describe a new imaging platform that combines a transrectal micro-US system with transurethral light delivery for PA imaging. (Source: Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology)

The Effect of Steatosis on Shear-Wave Velocity and Viscoelastic Properties Related to Liver Fibrosis Progression in Rat Models
Hepatic fibrosis has recently been evaluated using ultrasonography or magnetic resonance elastography. Although the shear wave velocity (SWV) obtained using point shear wave elastography (pSWE) provides a valuable measure of fibrosis, underlying steatosis may affect its measurement.
