Multimodal Feature Fusion and Knowledge-Driven Learning via Experts Consult for Thyroid Nodule Classification [PDF]

, 2020
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is becoming a prominent approach to assist clinicians spanning across multiple fields. These automated systems take advantage of various computer vision (CV) procedures, as well as artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, to formulate a diagnosis of a given image, e.g., computed tomography and ultrasound. Advances in both

An ultrasonography-based approach for optical diagnostics and phototherapy treatment strategies [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Currently, diagnostic medicine uses a multitude of tools ranging from ionising radiation to histology analysis. With advances in piezoelectric crystal technology, high-frequency ultrasound imaging has developed to achieve comparatively high resolution without the drawbacks of ionising radiation.

Current Advances in Computational Lung Ultrasound Imaging: A Review [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
In the field of biomedical imaging, ultrasonography has become increasingly widespread, and an important auxiliary diagnostic tool with unique advantages, such as being non-ionising and often portable. This article reviews the state-of-the-art in medical ultrasound image computing and in particular its application in the examination of the lungs. First,

Efficient asymmetric transmission of elastic waves in thin plates with lossless metasurfaces [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 054029 (2020), 2020
Requiring neither active components nor complex designs, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a generic framework for undistorted asymmetric elastic-wave transmission in a thin plate just using a layer of lossless metasurface. The asymmetric transmission stems from the uneven diffraction of +1 and -1 orders on opposite sides of the metasurface ...

Treatment response and preliminary efficacy of hepatic tumour laser ablation under the guidance of percutaneous and endoscopic ultrasonography

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2019
Background Studies focusing on the treatment effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided laser ablation (LA) for hepatic tumours or the technical differences from percutaneous ultrasonography (US)-guided LA are lacking. The objective of this

Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...
