Whole Cross-Sectional Human Ultrasound Tomography [PDF]
Ultrasonography is a vital component of modern clinical care, with handheld probes routinely used for diagnostic imaging and procedural guidance. However, handheld ultrasound imaging is limited by factors such as the partial-cross-sectional field of view, operator dependency, contact-induced distortion, and lack of transmission contrast.

Lesion Segmentation in Ultrasound Using Semi-pixel-wise Cycle Generative Adversarial Nets [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer with the highest cancer occurrence in females. Handheld ultrasound is one of the most efficient ways to identify and diagnose the breast cancer. The area and the shape information of a lesion is very helpful for clinicians to make diagnostic decisions. In this study we propose a new deep-learning scheme,

Hand-held 3D Photoacoustic Imager with GPS [PDF]
As an emerging medical diagnostic technology, photoacoustic imaging has been implemented for both preclinical and clinical applications. For clinical convenience, a handheld free scan photoacoustic tomography (PAT) system providing 3D imaging capability is essentially needed, which has potential for surgical navigation and disease diagnosis.

Training Variational Networks with Multi-Domain Simulations: Speed-of-Sound Image Reconstruction [PDF]
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 images acquired using conventional handheld ultrasound transducers.
