Elastography ultrasound (EUS) imaging is a vital modality. The current use of EUS faces many challenges, such as vulnerability to subjective manipulation, echo signal attenuation, and unknown risks elastic pressure in certain delicate tissues. hardware requirement also hinders the trend miniaturization equipment. Here we show cost-efficient solution by designing deep neural network synthesize virtual (V-EUS) from conventional B-mode images. A total 4580 breast tumor cases were collected 15...

Objective: The efficacy and safety of percutaneous ultrasound-guided microwave laser ablation (MWA LA, respectively), for treating benign thyroid nodules (BTNs), were retrospectively compared. Methods: Patients (n = 318) underwent 328 BTNs. Confounding bias was reduced by propensity-score matching, finally the MWA LA groups each comprised 160 nodules. At baseline (before ablation), 3, 6, 12 months, every 6 months thereafter, following recorded: nodule volume reduction rate (VRR), neck...

Purpose . To compare superb microvascular imaging (SMI) with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) for evaluating the ablation of benign thyroid nodules. Methods 225 Patients 256 nodules underwent conventional ultrasound, color Doppler flow (CDFI), CEUS, and SMI before after laser ablation. They were routinely followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12 months. The volume reduction rate ablated was calculated. Results On SMI, complete had no perfusion, while incompletely perfusion edge nodule. percentages...
