POCOVID-Net: Automatic Detection of COVID-19 From a New Lung Ultrasound Imaging Dataset (POCUS) [PDF]
With the rapid development of COVID-19 into a global pandemic, there is an ever more urgent need for cheap, fast and reliable tools that can assist physicians in diagnosing COVID-19. Medical imaging such as CT can take a key role in complementing conventional diagnostic tools from molecular biology, and, using deep learning techniques, several ...

Towards Non-contact 3D Ultrasound for Wrist Imaging [PDF]
Objective: The objective of this work is an attempt towards non-contact freehand 3D ultrasound imaging with minimal complexity added to the existing point of care ultrasound (POCUS) systems. Methods: This study proposes a novel approach of using a mechanical track for non-contact ultrasound (US) scanning. The approach thus restricts the probe motion to

ABSTRACT Purpose Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disabling musculoskeletal condition. Clinical guidelines recommend intra‐articular corticosteroid injections (IACSI) as a pharmacological adjunct to help manage pain. IACSI are typically image‐guided either by ultrasound guidance (USG) or fluoroscopic guidance (FG) with no clear evidence towards the ...
