Medical ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used in clinical examinations due to its portability, real-time capability, and radiation-free nature. To address inter- and intra-operator variability, robotic ultrasound systems have gained…

For decades, focal non-invasive neuromodulation of deep brain regions has not been possible because of the steep depth-focality trade-off of conventional non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, such as transcranial magnetic…

Non-invasive stimulation of small, variably shaped brain sub-regions is crucial for advancing our understanding of brain functions. Current ultrasound neuromodulation faces two significant trade-offs when targeting brain sub-regions:…

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive medical procedure that can modulate brain activity, and it is widely used in neuroscience and neurology research. Compared to manual operators, robots may improve the outcome of TMS…

Tinnitus is a prevalent auditory condition lacking objective biomarkers, motivating the search for reliable neural signatures. EEG, being a noninvasive method of brain imaging with a high temporal resolution provides a way to investigate…

This article describes a procedure for measuring and evaluating radio impulsive noise (IN) from a specific source. A good knowledge of the noise caused by different sources is essential to plan radio services and to ensure good quality of…

The main objective of the electrical stimulation of the brain is to generate action potentials from the application of electromagnetic fields. Among the available techniques, transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) represents a popular…

Ultrasound is a powerful means to study numerous phenomena of condensed-matter physics as acoustic waves couple strongly to structural, magnetic, orbital, and charge degrees of freedom. In this paper, we present such technique combined with…

Purpose: Spinal instability is a widespread condition that causes pain, fatigue, and restricted mobility, profoundly affecting patients' quality of life. In clinical practice, the gold standard for diagnosis is dynamic X-ray imaging.…

The noise of a device under test (DUT) is measured simultaneously with two instruments, each of which contributes its own background. The average cross power spectral density converges to the DUT power spectral density. This method enables…

Prostate biopsies are mainly performed under 2D TransRectal UltraSound (TRUS) control by sampling the prostate according to a predefined pattern. In case of first biopsies, this pattern follows a random systematic plan. Sometimes, repeat…

An alternative approach to ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) for medical imaging is proposed, with the intent to (i) shorten acquisition time for devices with a large number of emitters, (ii) eliminate the calibration step, and (iii)…

Identifying stimulus-driven neural activity patterns is critical for studying the neural basis of cognition. This can be particularly challenging in intracranial datasets, where electrode locations typically vary across patients. This…

Purpose: Transurethral ultrasound therapy is an investigational treatment modality which could potentially be used for the localized treatment of prostate cancer. One of the limiting factors of this therapy is prostatic calcifications.…

Objective: Ultrasound (US) examination has unique advantages in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) while identifying the median nerve (MN) and diagnosing CTS depends heavily on the expertise of examiners. To alleviate this problem, we…

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…

Ultrasound is widely used in clinical practice due to its affordability, portability, and safety. However, current AI research often overlooks combined disease prediction and tissue segmentation. We propose UniUSNet, a universal framework…

Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) offers noninvasive access to deep brain circuits but remains limited by skull-induced phase aberration, acoustic impedance mismatch, and poor volumetric control of intracranial pressure fields.…

Gradient boosting remains a strong and widely used method for tabular data learning, but its performance often degrades when training labels are noisy. This behavior is largely related to the way boosting algorithms emphasize samples with…

In this paper, we present a simple framework of skill transfer learning for robotic ultrasound-guidance procedures. We briefly review challenges in skill transfer learning for robotic ultrasound-guidance procedures. We then identify the…
