Super-resolution imaging has emerged as a rapidly advancing field in diagnostic ultrasound. Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) achieves sub-wavelength precision in microvasculature imaging by tracking gas microbubbles (MBs) flowing through blood vessels. However, MB localization faces challenges due to dynamic point spread functions (PSFs) caused by ...

Purposes: While lumbar multifidus (MF) muscle alterations are linked to low back pain (LBP), the structure-function relationship is not fully understood. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between fatty degeneration of the lumbar MF muscle and its function in individuals with and without LBP. Methods: The study included 25 participants with chr ...

Assessing collateral circulation is essential in determining the best treatment for ischemic stroke patients as good collaterals lead to different treatment options, i.e., thrombectomy, whereas poor collaterals can adversely affect the treatment by leading to excess bleeding and eventually death. To reduce inter- and intra-rater variability and save time ...

Purpose: Statistical shape models (SSMs) are widely used for morphological assessment of anatomical structures. However, a key limitation is the need for a clear relationship between the model's shape coefficients and clinically relevant anatomical parameters. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a novel deep learning-based anatomically par ...

Purpose: Registration and segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound (US) images could play an essential role in surgical planning and resectioning brain tumors. However, validating these techniques is challenging due to the scarcity of publicly accessible sources with high-quality gr ...

Knee kinematics during a drop vertical jump, measured by the Kinect V2 (Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA), have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury. The accuracy and reliability of the Microsoft Kinect V2 has yet to be assessed specifical ...

This study conducts collateral evaluation from ischemic damage using a deep learning-based Siamese network, addressing the challenges associated with a small and imbalanced dataset. The collateral network provides an alternative oxygen and nutrient supply pathway in ischemic stroke cases, influencing treatment decisions. Research in this area focuses on a ...

Elastography is a medical imaging modality that enables visualization of tissue stiffness. It involves quasi-static or harmonic mechanical stimulation of the tissue to generate a displacement field which is used as input in an inversion algorithm to reconstruct tissue elastic modulus. This paper considers quasi-static stimulation and presents a novel inve ...

Purpose: Collateral evaluation is typically done using visual inspection of cerebral images and thus suffers from intra- and inter-rater variability. Large open databases of ischemic stroke patients are rare, limiting the use of deep learning methods in treatment decision-making.
Methods: We adapted a pre-trained Eff ...
