Multi-Task Learning Approach for Unified Biometric Estimation from Fetal Ultrasound Anomaly Scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Precise estimation of fetal biometry parameters from ultrasound images is vital for evaluating fetal growth, monitoring health, and identifying potential complications reliably. However, the automated computerized segmentation of the fetal head, abdomen, and femur from ultrasound images, along with the subsequent measurement of fetal biometrics ...

Heart Rate Extraction from Abdominal Audio Signals [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Abdominal sounds (ABS) have been traditionally used for assessing gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. However, the assessment requires a trained medical professional to perform multiple abdominal auscultation sessions, which is resource-intense and may fail to provide an accurate picture of patients' continuous GI wellbeing.

Deconstruction and reconstruction of image-degrading effects in the human abdomen using Fullwave: phase aberration, multiple reverberation, and trailing reverberation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Ultrasound image degradation in the human body is complex and occurs due to the distortion of the wave as it propagates to and from the target. Here, we establish a simulation based framework that deconstructs the sources of image degradation into a separable parameter space that includes phase aberration from speed variation, multiple reverberations ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...
