A deep learning fusion network trained with clinical and high-frequency ultrasound images in the multi-classification of skin diseases in comparison with dermatologists: a prospective and multicenter study.

Background: Clinical appearance and high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) are indispensable for diagnosing skin diseases by providing internal and external information. However, their complex combination brings challenges for primary care physicians and dermatologists. Thus, we developed a deep multimodal fusion network (DMFN) model combining analysis of clinical close-up and HFUS images for binary and multiclass classification in skin diseases.

Three-dimensional convolutional neural network model to identify clinically significant prostate cancer in transrectal ultrasound videos: a prospective, multi-institutional, diagnostic study.

Background: Identifying patients with clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) before biopsy helps reduce unnecessary biopsies and improve patient prognosis. The diagnostic performance of traditional transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) for csPCa is relatively limited. This study was aimed to develop a high-performance convolutional neural network (CNN) model (P-Net) based on a TRUS video of the entire prostate and investigate its efficacy in identifying csPCa.

Identification of benign and malignant thyroid nodules based on dynamic AI ultrasound intelligent auxiliary diagnosis system.

Background: Dynamic artificial intelligence (AI) ultrasound intelligent auxiliary diagnosis system (Dynamic AI) is a joint application of AI technology and medical imaging data, which can perform a real-time synchronous dynamic analysis of nodules. The aim of this study is to investigate the value of dynamic AI in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules and its guiding significance for treatment strategies.

Methods: The data of 607 patients with 1007 thyroid nodules who underwent surgical treatment were reviewed and analyzed, retrospectively.
