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

Interventional endoscopic ultrasonography for pancreatic cancer
World Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2011 Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) represents the combination of endoscopy and intraluminal ultrasonography. This allows use of a high-frequency transducer (5-20 MHz) that, due to the short distance to the target lesion, provides ultrasonographic images of higher resolution than those obtained from other imaging modalities, including multiple-detector ...

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 ...
