In the field of biomedical imaging, ultrasonography has become increasingly widespread, and an important auxiliary diagnostic tool with unique advantages, such as being non-ionising and often portable. This article reviews the…
This paper concerns the fully automatic direct in vivo measurement of active and passive dynamic skeletal muscle states using ultrasound imaging. Despite the long standing medical need (myopathies, neuropathies, pain, injury, ageing),…
The quality of fetal ultrasound images is significantly affected by motion blur while the imaging system requires low motion quality in order to capture accurate data. This can be achieved with a mathematical model of motion blur in time or…
Transcranial ultrasound is more and more used for therapy and imaging of the brain. However, the skull is a highly attenuating and aberrating medium, with different structures and acoustic properties between samples and even within a…
Ultrasound imaging, as a noninvasive, real-time, and low-cost modality, plays a vital role in clinical diagnosis, catheterization intervention, and portable devices. With the development of transducer hardware and the continuous progress of…
Given its real-time capability to quantify mechanical tissue properties, ultrasound shear wave elastography holds significant promise in clinical musculoskeletal imaging. However, existing shear wave elastography methods fall short in…
Skeletal muscles are organized into distinct layers and exhibit anisotropic characteristics across various scales. Assessing the arrangement of skeletal muscles may provide valuable biomarkers for diagnosing muscle related pathologies and…
Three-dimensional Ultrasound image segmentation methods are surveyed in this paper. The focus of this report is to investigate applications of these techniques and a review of the original ideas and concepts. Although many two-dimensional…
Accurate measures of musculoskeletal forces are critical for clinicians, biomechanists, and engineers, yet direct measurement is highly invasive and current estimation methods remain limited in accuracy. Here, we demonstrate the application…
Ultrasound is an adjunct tool to mammography that can quickly and safely aid physicians with diagnosing breast abnormalities. Clinical ultrasound often assumes a constant sound speed to form B-mode images for diagnosis. However, the various…
Functional muscle imaging is essential for diagnostics of a multitude of musculoskeletal afflictions such as degenerative muscle diseases, muscle injuries, muscle atrophy, and neurological related issues such as spasticity. However, there…
Medical ultrasound has become a routine examination approach nowadays and is widely adopted for different medical applications, so it is desired to have a robotic ultrasound system to perform the ultrasound scanning autonomously. However,…
The application of ultrasound in healthcare has seen increased diversity and importance. Unlike other medical imaging modalities, ultrasound research and development has historically lagged, particularly in the case of applications with…
Ultrasound imaging has recently been introduced as a sensing interface for joint motion estimation. The use of ultrasound images as an estimation method is expected to improve the control performance of assistive devices and human--machine…
While the musculoskeletal humanoid has various biomimetic benefits, the modeling of its complex structure is difficult, and many learning-based systems have been developed so far. There are various methods, such as control methods using…
Ultrasound is a widely-used imaging modality critical to global healthcare, yet its interpretation remains challenging due to its varying image quality on operators, noises, and anatomical structures. Although large vision-language models…
Ultrasound is a continually developing technology that is broadly used for fast, non-destructive mechanical property detection of hard and soft materials in applications ranging from manufacturing to biomedical. In this study, a novel…
Ultrasound is widely used in medical diagnostics allowing for accessible and powerful imaging but suffers from resolution limitations due to diffraction and the finite aperture of the imaging system, which restricts diagnostic use. The…
Tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoids typically have complex structures similar to those of human beings, such as ball joints and the scapula, in which encoders cannot be installed. Therefore, joint angles cannot be directly obtained and…
Transcranial ultrasound simulations are increasingly used to predict in situ exposure parameters for ultrasound therapies in the brain. However, there can be considerable uncertainty in estimating the acoustic medium properties of the skull…
