Ultrasound imageImage enhancementFilteringHistogram EqualizationLiver cancer is the sixth most common malignanttumour and the third most common cause ofcancer-related deaths worldwide. Chronic Liverdamage affects up to 20% of our population. It hasmany causes - viral infections (Hepatitis B and C),...
Due to the presence of speckles in ultrasound or CT images, the enhancement of these images is extremely difficult, especially in images of the liver and kidney whose underlying structures are too small to be resolved by large wavelength ultrasound. Speckles significantly increase the difficulty in ...
Background: Thermal ablation is an accepted therapy for small unresectable liver cancer. However, the reliability of thermal ablation is limited by the inability to accurately monitor and confirm completeness of therapy in real time. We have developed an ultrasound based elasticity imaging met...
A simulated study by researchers at Western University and Lawson Health Research Institute has found a new system that uses ultrasound to construct 3D-images could make treatment of liver cancer, using thermal ablation, more accurate. Liver cancer is among the leading causes of cancer death globall...

It has important research value for the further study of histopathological image classification of liver cancer [18,19,20]. In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence algorithms have been widely used in the medical field. Deep learning, as one of...
Domestic dogs and cats are very well known to develop chronic hepatic diseases, including hepatic lipidosis and cirrhosis. Ultrasonographic examination is extensively used to detect them. However, there are still few reports on the use of the ultrasound
Despite extensive preoperative imaging, intraoperative localization of liver lesions after systemic treatment can be challenging. Therefore, an image-guided navigation setup is explored that links preoperative diagnostic scans and 3D models to intraoperative ultrasound (US), enabling overlay of detailed diagno...
ultrasound beam path, such as the stomach, kidneys, and duodenum. In addition, specialists are working on a "medicine taxi": cancer medication enclosed in a small fat globule and inserted into the circulatory system. Focused ultrasound beams function as doorkeys to open the globules when inside...
