Cardiac auscultation is an essential point-of-care method used for the early diagnosis of heart diseases. Automatic analysis of heart sounds for abnormality detection is faced with the challenges of additive noise and sensor-dependent…

Most deep learning-based models for speech enhancement have mainly focused on estimating the magnitude of spectrogram while reusing the phase from noisy speech for reconstruction. This is due to the difficulty of estimating the phase of…

Breast density is an important risk factor for breast cancer that also affects the specificity and sensitivity of screening mammography. Current federal legislation mandates reporting of breast density for all women undergoing breast…

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) imaging has a trade-off between resolution and penetration depth. By considering the in-vivo characteristics of human organs, it is necessary to provide clinicians with appropriate hardware specifications for…

Breast cancer is one of the most threatening diseases in women's life; thus, the early and accurate diagnosis plays a key role in reducing the risk of death in a patient's life. Mammography stands as the reference technique for breast…

Breast cancer is one of the most serious disease affecting women's health. Due to low cost, portable, no radiation, and high efficiency, breast ultrasound (BUS) imaging is the most popular approach for diagnosing early breast cancer.…

Ultrasound plane wave imaging is a cutting-edge technique that enables high frame-rate imaging. However, one challenge associated with high frame-rate ultrasound imaging is the high noise associated with them, hindering their wider…

Breast cancer has reached the highest incidence rate worldwide among all malignancies since 2020. Breast imaging plays a significant role in early diagnosis and intervention to improve the outcome of breast cancer patients. In the past…

Speech sound disorders are a common communication impairment in childhood. Because speech disorders can negatively affect the lives and the development of children, clinical intervention is often recommended. To help with diagnosis and…

Applying deep learning methods to mammography assessment has remained a challenging topic. Dense noise with sparse expressions, mega-pixel raw data resolution, lack of diverse examples have all been factors affecting performance. The lack…

B-mode ultrasound imaging is a popular medical imaging technique. Like other image processing tasks, deep learning has been used for analysis of B-mode ultrasound images in the last few years. However, training deep learning models requires…

Quasi-static ultrasound elastography (USE) is an imaging modality that consists of determining a measure of deformation (i.e.strain) of soft tissue in response to an applied mechanical force. The strain is generally determined by estimating…

Studying tongue motion during speech using ultrasound is a standard procedure, but automatic ultrasound image labelling remains a challenge, as standard tongue shape extraction methods typically require human intervention. This article…

Ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) is an emerging modality for breast imaging. Image reconstruction methods that incorporate accurate wave physics produce high resolution quantitative images of acoustic properties but are computationally…

We present the first fully two-dimensional attenuation imaging technique developed for pulse-echo ultrasound systems. Unlike state-of-the-art techniques, which use line-by-line acquisitions, our method uses steered emissions to constrain…

One usage of medical ultrasound imaging is to visualize and characterize human tongue shape and motion during a real-time speech to study healthy or impaired speech production. Due to the low-contrast characteristic and noisy nature of…

Simulation-based ultrasound training can be an essential educational tool. Realistic ultrasound image appearance with typical speckle texture can be modeled as convolution of a point spread function with point scatterers representing tissue…

Ultrasound is the second most used modality in medical imaging. It is cost effective, hazardless, portable and implemented routinely in numerous clinical procedures. Nonetheless, image quality is characterized by granulated appearance, poor…

Endometriosis is a non-malignant disorder that affects 176 million women globally. Diagnostic delays result in severe dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. Therefore, there is a significant need to diagnose…

Ultrasonic wave attenuation({\alpha}) measurement by pulse-echo method exhibits pronounced dependence on experimental conditions. It is shown to be an inherent characteristic of the method itself. Estimation of {\alpha} from the component…
