Perioperative Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Children [PDF]
Anesthesiologists and other acute care physicians perform and interpret portable ultrasonography—point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)—at a child’s bedside, in the perioperative period. In addition to the established procedural use for central line and nerve block placement, POCUS is being used to guide critical clinical decisions in real-time.

COVID-Net UV: An End-to-End Spatio-Temporal Deep Neural Network Architecture for Automated Diagnosis of COVID-19 Infection from Ultrasound Videos [PDF]
Besides vaccination, as an effective way to mitigate the further spread of COVID-19, fast and accurate screening of individuals to test for the disease is yet necessary to ensure public health safety. We propose COVID-Net UV, an end-to-end hybrid spatio-temporal deep neural network architecture, to detect COVID-19 infection from lung point-of-care ...

Pneumonia Diagnosed by Point-of-Care Ultrasound [PDF]
History of present illness: A 46-year-old female was sent to the emergency department from clinic with an oxygen saturation of 86%. She endorsed fevers with cough and generalized weakness for one week. She had been evaluated by her primary care provider on day two of illness and was started empirically on Oseltamivir without improvement of her symptoms.

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
