TLDR
Leading machine learning approaches and research directions in US are reviewed, with an emphasis on recent ML advances, and an outlook on future opportunities for ML techniques to further improve clinical workflow and US-based disease diagnosis and characterization is presented.Abstract:
Ultrasound (US) imaging is the most commonly performed cross-sectional diagnostic imaging modality in the practice of medicine. It is low-cost, non-ionizing, portable, and capable of real-time image acquisition and display. US is a rapidly evolving technology with significant challenges and opportunities. Challenges include high inter- and intra-operator variability and limited image quality control. Tremendous opportunities have arisen in the last decade as a result of exponential growth in available computational power coupled with progressive miniaturization of US devices. As US devices become smaller, enhanced computational capability can contribute significantly to decreasing variability through advanced image processing. In this paper, we review leading machine learning (ML) approaches and research directions in US, with an emphasis on recent ML advances. We also present our outlook on future opportunities for ML techniques to further improve clinical workflow and US-based disease diagnosis and characterization.read more

Using an artificial neural network to diagnose hepatic masses
Philip S. Maclin,Jack Dempsey +1 more
TL;DR: A back-propagation neural network was designed to diagnose five classifications of hepatic masses: hepatoma, metastic carcinoma, abscess, cavernous hemangioma, and cirrhosis, and an accuracy of 75% is higher than the 50% scored by the average radiology resident in training but lower than the 90% score by the typical board-certified radiologist.
