A Hybrid Transformer-CNN for Tracking-Free 3D Ultrasound Volume Reconstruction from 2D Freehand Scans

Authors: Wenfeng He, Tian Liu, Pretesh Patel, Richard L.J. Qiu, Keyur Shah, Tonghe Wang, Xiaofeng Yang, Chulong Zhang

Affiliation: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Emory University, Medical Physics Graduate Program, Duke Kunshan University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Department of Radiation Oncology and Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University

Abstract Preview: Purpose: This study introduces a tracking-free approach to reconstruct 3D ultrasound (US) volumes from 2D freehand US scans. By eliminating the reliance on external tracking systems, this method aims ...

A Novel Margin-Based Focal Distance Loss for Lesion Segmentation in Medical Imaging

Authors: Weiguo Lu, Hua-Chieh Shao, Guoping Xu, You Zhang

Affiliation: Medical Artificial Intelligence and Automation (MAIA) Lab, Department of Radiation Oncology, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Medical Artificial Intelligence and Automation (MAIA) Laboratory, Department of Radiation Oncology, UT Southwestern Medical Center

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
Neural network-based lesion segmentation remains a significant challenge due to the low contrast between lesions and surrounding tissues (high ambiguity) and the variability of lesion shap...

Enhancing Image Quality in Acoustic Imaging Using the Segment Anything Model (SAM)

Authors: Jadon Buller, Zhuoran Jiang, Yankun Lang, Lei Ren, Leshan Sun, Liangzhong Xiang, Yifei Xu

Affiliation: University of Maryland School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine, University of California, Stanford University

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Electroacoustic tomography (EAT) and Protoacoustic (PA) imaging are novel modalities for treatment verification of electroporation and proton therapy. However, the limited acquisition angle i...

Impact of Feraheme on Imaging and Thermal Dynamics during MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound: Phantom Study

Authors: Jaydev K. Dave, Krzysztof R Gorny, Chunming Gu, Nicholas J. Hangiandreou, Gina K. Hesley, Myung-Ho In, Zaiyang Long, Aiming Lu, Christin A. TiegsHeiden

Affiliation: Mayo Clinic

Abstract Preview: Purpose:
MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) enables precise tumor ablation with real-time MR-thermometry guidance. Our practice is exploring the potential use of Feraheme (Ferumoxytol), a superp...

Micro-Ultrasound Guided Focal Prostate Radiotherapy: Development and Testing of a Novel Device.

Authors: Kevin Barker, David Jeffrey Contella, Chandima Edirisinghe, Aaron Fenster, Douglas A Hoover, Elizabeth Huynh

Affiliation: Robarts Research Institute, University of Western Ontario, London Health Sciences Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, London Health Sciences Centre

Abstract Preview: Purpose: We aim to develop a system that integrates micro-ultrasound into focal prostate cancer radiotherapy. This requires developing a mechatronic stepper capable of performing motorized rotation of...
