Variational autoencoders (VAEs) typically encode images into a compact latent space, reducing computational cost but introducing an optimization dilemma: a higher-dimensional latent space improves reconstruction fidelity but often hampers…

Speed-of-sound has been shown as a potential biomarker for breast cancer imaging, successfully differentiating malignant tumors from benign ones. Speed-of-sound images can be reconstructed from time-of-flight measurements from ultrasound…

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers superb-quality images, but its accessibility is limited by high costs, posing challenges for patients requiring longitudinal care. Low-field MRI provides affordable imaging with low-cost devices but…

Vision foundation models (FMs) achieve state-of-the-art performance in medical imaging. However, they encode information in abstract latent representations that clinicians cannot interrogate or verify. The goal of this study is to…

Ultrasound (US) interpretation is hampered by multiplicative speckle, acquisition blur from the point-spread function (PSF), and scanner- and operator-dependent artifacts. Supervised enhancement methods assume access to clean targets or…

Medical ultrasound provides images which are the spatial map of the tissue echogenicity. Unfortunately, an ultrasound image is a low-quality version of the expected Tissue Reflectivity Function (TRF) mainly due to the non-ideal Point Spread…
