Building accurate and robust artificial intelligence systems for medical image assessment requires not only the research and design of advanced deep learning models but also the creation of large and curated sets of annotated training…

An efficient despeckling method using a quantum-inspired adaptive threshold function is presented for reducing noise of ultrasound images. In the first step, the ultrasound image is decorrelated by an spectrum equalization procedure due to…

Deep learning methods can be found in many medical imaging applications. Recently, those methods were applied directly to the RF ultrasound multi-channel data to enhance the quality of the reconstructed images. In this paper, we apply a…

In this paper, the problem of de-noising of an image contaminated with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is studied. This subject has been continued to be an open problem in signal processing for more than 50 years. In the present paper,…

Breast ultrasound videos contain richer information than ultrasound images, therefore it is more meaningful to develop video models for this diagnosis task. However, the collection of ultrasound video datasets is much harder. In this paper,…

Medical image annotation is essential for diagnosing diseases, yet manual annotation is time-consuming, costly, and prone to variability among experts. To address these challenges, we propose an automated explainable annotation system that…

Transcranial ultrasound (TUS) has emerged as a promising tool in clinical and research settings due to its potential to modulate neuronal activity, open the blood-brain barrier, facilitate targeted drug delivery via nanoparticles, and…

Clustering is a class of unsupervised learning methods that has been extensively applied and studied in computer vision. Little work has been done to adapt it to the end-to-end training of visual features on large scale datasets. In this…

We propose a framework for localization and classification of masses in breast ultrasound (BUS) images. We have experimentally found that training convolutional neural network based mass detectors with large, weakly annotated datasets…

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging remains an active area of interest in the ultrasound community due to its ultra-high frame rates. Recently, a wide variety of studies based on deep learning have sought to improve ultrafast ultrasound imaging.…

Automated segmentation of BUS images is important for precise lesion delineation and tumor characterization, but is challenged by inherent artifacts and dataset inconsistencies. In this work, we evaluate the use of a modified Residual…

Capturing global contextual information plays a critical role in breast ultrasound (BUS) image classification. Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated reliable performance in tumor classification, they have inherent…

Multiresolution deep learning approaches, such as the U-Net architecture, have achieved high performance in classifying and segmenting images. However, these approaches do not provide a latent image representation and cannot be used to…

Breast ultrasound (BUS) image segmentation plays a crucial role in a computer-aided diagnosis system, which is regarded as a useful tool to help increase the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis. Recently, many deep learning methods have…

UHD images, typically with resolutions equal to or higher than 4K, pose a significant challenge for efficient image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms, as adopting full-resolution images as inputs leads to overwhelming computational…

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) aims to provide sonographers with the spatial relationships of anatomical structures, playing a crucial role in clinical diagnosis. Recently, deep-learning-based freehand 3D US has made significant…

Automated segmentation of pathological regions of interest aids medical image diagnostics and follow-up care. However, accurate pathological segmentations require high quality of annotated data that can be both cost and time intensive to…

Ultrasound images are widespread in medical diagnosis for musculoskeletal, cardiac, and obstetrical imaging due to the efficiency and non-invasiveness of the acquisition methodology. However, the acquired images are degraded by acoustic…

Echocardiography (echo), or cardiac ultrasound, is the most widely used imaging modality for cardiac form and function due to its relatively low cost, rapid acquisition time, and non-invasive nature. However, ultrasound acquisitions are…

Breast Ultrasound plays a vital role in cancer diagnosis as a non-invasive approach with cost-effective. In recent years, with the development of deep learning, many CNN-based approaches have been widely researched in both tumor…
