Purpose Ultrasound (US) provides real-time, two-/three-dimensional safe imaging. Due to
these capabilities, it is considered a safe alternative to intra-operative fluoroscopy in various …

Purpose Automatic bone surfaces segmentation is one of the fundamental tasks of
ultrasound (US)-guided computer-assisted orthopedic surgery procedures. However, due to …

Various imaging artifacts, low signal-to-noise ratio, and bone surfaces appearing several
millimeters in thickness have hindered the success of ultrasound (US) guided computer …

The application of ultrasound (US) imaging in orthopedic surgery has always been a
research direction. However, the various problems of US imaging hinder the development of …

Purpose A new algorithm, based on fully convolutional networks (FCN), is proposed for the
automatic localization of the bone interface in ultrasound (US) images. The aim of this paper …

To provide a safe alternative, for intra-operative fluoroscopy, ultrasound (US) has been
investigated as an alternative safe imaging modality for various computer assisted …

Bone surface identification and localization in ultrasound have been widely studied in the
contexts of computer-assisted orthopedic surgeries, trauma diagnosis, and post-operative …

Ultrasound (US) imaging is a safe alternative to radiography for guidance during minimally
invasive orthopedic procedures. However, ultrasound is challenging to interpret because of …

Due to imaging artifacts and low signal-to-noise ratio in ultrasound images, automatic bone
surface segmentation networks often produce fragmented predictions that can hinder the …

Ultrasound (US) image guidance in orthopaedic surgery is emerging as a viable non-
invasive alternative to the currently dominant radiation-based modalities. Though it offers …
