Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer with a high mortality rate in women over the age of 40. Many studies have shown that the detection of cancer at earlier stages significantly reduces patients' mortality and morbidity rages.…
Ultrasound sensors have wide applications across science and technology. However, improved sensitivity is required for both miniaturisation and increased spatial resolution. Here, we introduce cavity optomechanical ultrasound sensing, where…
Ultrasound (US) imaging is a vital adjunct to mammography in breast cancer screening and diagnosis, but its reliance on hand-held transducers often lacks repeatability and heavily depends on sonographers' skills. Integrating US systems from…
The improved diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound breast examinations remains an important goal. In this study, we propose a biophysical feature based machine learning method for breast cancer detection to improve the performance beyond a…
Accurate standard plane acquisition in fetal ultrasound (US) videos is crucial for fetal growth assessment, anomaly detection, and adherence to clinical guidelines. However, manually selecting standard frames is time-consuming and prone to…
Breast cancer has become a symbol of tremendous concern in the modern world, as it is one of the major causes of cancer mortality worldwide. In this regard, breast ultrasonography images are frequently utilized by doctors to diagnose breast…
This paper presents an approach to characterize ultrasonic imaging arrays using pin targets in commercial test phantoms. We used a 128-element phased array transducer operating at 7.5 MHz with a fractional bandwidth of %70. We also used a…
Ultrasound computed tomography techniques have the potential to provide clinicians with 3D, quantitative and high-resolution information of both soft and hard tissues such as the breast or the adult human brain. Their practical application…
Ultrasound imaging has been widely used in clinical examinations owing to the advantages of being portable, real-time, and radiation-free. Considering the potential of extensive deployment of autonomous examination systems in hospitals,…
In trauma and critical care settings, rapid and precise intravascular access is key to patients' survival. Our research aims at ensuring this access, even when skilled medical personnel are not readily available. Vessel bifurcations are…
Breast ultrasound (US) is an effective imaging modality for breast cancer detec-tion and diagnosis. The structural characteristics of breast lesion play an im-portant role in Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD). In this paper, a novel…
Deep learning based Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed to treat breast ultrasound. Most of them focus on a single ultrasound imaging modality, either using representative static images or the dynamic video of a…
Radiography imaging protocols focus on particular body regions, therefore producing images of great similarity and yielding recurrent anatomical structures across patients. Exploiting this structured information could potentially ease the…
