Abstract The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) has
produced guidelines for the use of elastography techniques including basic science, breast …

Tissue stiffness assessed by palpation for diagnosing pathology has been used for
thousands of years. Ultrasound elastography has been developed more recently to display …

In ultrasound images, most thyroid nodules are in heterogeneous appearances with various
internal components and also have vague boundaries, so it is difficult for physicians to …

Thyroid ultrasonography is a widely used clinical technique for nodule diagnosis in thyroid
regions. However, it remains difficult to detect and recognize the nodules due to low …

Background Many techniques are proposed for the quantification of tumor heterogeneity as
an imaging biomarker for differentiation between tumor types, tumor grading, response …

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning (DL) algorithms, has demonstrated
remarkable progress in image-recognition tasks, enabling the automatic quantitative …

In thyroid imaging,“texture” refers to the echographic appearence of the parenchyma or a
nodule. However, definition of the image characteristics is operator dependent and …

Purpose: To develop a semiautomated computer‐aided diagnosis (cad) system for thyroid
cancer using two‐dimensional ultrasound images that can be used to yield a second …

Objectives To assess a new method for numerical quantification of cervical elastography
during pregnancy and to evaluate the repeatability of the measurements. Methods Cervical …

Background Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)-Imaging is an ultrasound-based
