abstract = {<p>This paper presents the results of a feasibility study to demonstrate the application of ultrasound RF time series imaging to accurately differentiate ablated and non-ablated tissue. Methods: For 12 ex vivo and two in situ tissue samples, RF ultrasound signals are acquired prior to, and following, high intensity ultrasound ablation. Spatial and temporal features of these signals are used to characterize ablated and non-ablated tissue in a supervised-learning framework. Results: In crossvalidation evaluation, a subset of four features extracted from RF time series produce a classification accuracy of 84.5%, and an area under ROC curve of 0.91 for ex vivo data, and an accuracy of 85% for in situ data. Conclusion: Ultrasound RF time series is a promising approach for characterizing ablated tissue.</p>},

abstract = {<p>Purpose: Ultrasound elevation beamwidth leads to image artefacts and uncertainties in localizing objects (such as a surgical needle) in ultrasound images. We examined the clinical significance of errors caused by elevation beamwidth artefacts and imaging parameters in needle insertion procedures. Method: Beveled prostate brachytherapy needles were inserted through all holes of a grid template under real-time transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance. The needle tip position as indicated by the TRUS image was compared to their observed physical location. A new device was developed to measure the ultrasound elevation beamwidth. Result: Imaging parameters of the TRUS scanner have direct impact on the localization error ranging from 0.5 mm upto 4 mm. The smallest localization error was observed laterally close to the center of the grid template, and axially within the beam’s focal zone. Largest localization error occurs laterally around both sides of the grid template, and axially within the beam’s far field. we also found that the localization errors vary with both lateral and elevation offsets. Conclusion: We found properly adjusting the TRUS imaging settings to lower the ultrasound gain and power effectively minimized the appearance of elevation beamwidth artefacts and in turn reduced the localization errors of the needle tip.</p>},
