Ultrasound tomography reconstruction using deep learning methods

The current technique for prostate cancer detection is B-mode transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided systematic core needle biopsy. However, due to the limited sensitivity and capability of categorizing aggressiveness of prostate cancer in B-mode images, additional imaging modality such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is necessary to support targeted biopsies. To reduce the imaging cost, we…
