Due to its real-time, non-radiation based three-dimensional (3D) imaging capabilities,
ultrasound (US) has been incorporated into various orthopedic procedures. However …

Ultrasound bone segmentation is an important yet challenging task for many clinical
applications. Several works have emerged attempting to improve and automate bone …

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 …

Localization of the correct vertebral level for surgical entry during lumbar hernia surgery is
not straightforward. In this paper, we develop and evaluate a solution using free-hand 2-D …

Purpose Precise localization of cystic bone lesions is crucial for osteolytic bone tumor
surgery. Recently, there is a move toward ultrasound imaging over plain radiographs (X …

Purpose Ultrasound (US) is a safer alternative to X-rays for bone imaging, and its popularity
for orthopedic surgical navigation is growing. Routine use of intraoperative US for navigation …

Ultrasound (US) imaging of an infant's hip joint is widely used for early detection of
developmental dysplasia of the hip. In current US-based diagnosis of developmental …

Purpose Ultrasound is increasingly being employed in different orthopedic procedures as an
imaging modality for real-time guidance. Nevertheless, low signal-to-noise-ratio and …

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

Aims Early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) using ultrasound (US) is
safe, effective and inexpensive, but requires high-quality scans. The effect of scan quality on …
