Ultrasound (US) imaging of the carotid artery (CA) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool widely used in the medical field to assess the condition of the carotid artery, thereby predicting the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, implementing this method in primary healthcare can be challenging due to the requirement for professionally trained sonographers. With the adoption of US robotic devices, the probe pose can be acquired while scanning, offering the possibility for 3D reconstruction and providing analyses that are not dependent on operator experience. This article introduces a method to semi-automatically acquire serialized US images of the common carotid artery (CCA). The method involves a specially designed robotic device built with a 6-RSU parallel mechanism, which is controlled according to robot pose, force sensor data and synchronous US images. To validate the images acquired, a method is proposed to segment the intima-media of CCA and calculate the intima-media thickness (IMT), which is a key indicator for cerebrovascular events prediction. After that, we propose an algorithm to reconstruct CCA into 3D voxel data with patient movement and cardiac cycle compensated, and a longitudinal view US image of CCA can be resliced from the voxel. The methods are tested on human subjects and the results indicate that the system and workflow can provide both quantitative and qualitative information of CCA for further diagnosis.

Unsupervised image-to-image Translation (UNIT) has gained significant attention due to its strong ability of data augmentation. UNIT aims to generate a visually pleasing image by synthesizing an image's content with another's style. However, current methods cannot ensure that the style of the generated image matches that of the input style image well. To overcome this issue, we present a new two-stage framework, called Unsupervised image-to-image Translation with Style Consistency (SC-UNIT), for improving the style consistency between the image of the style domain and the generated image. The key idea of SC-UNIT is to build a style consistency module to prevent the deviation of the learned style from the input one. Specifically, in the first stage, SC-UNIT trains a content encoder to extract the multiple-layer content features wherein the last-layer's feature can represent the abstract domain-shared content. In the second stage, we train a generator to integrate the content features with the style feature to generate a new image. During the generation process, dynamic skip connections and multiple-layer content features are used to build multiple-level content correspondences. Furthermore, we design a style reconstruction loss to make the style of the generated image consistent with that of the input style image. Numerous experimental results show that our SC-UNIT outperforms state-of-the-art methods in image quality, style diversity, and style consistency, even for domains with significant visual differences.

Novel deep learning (DL) methods have produced state-of-the-art results in nearly every area of x-ray CT data processing. However, DL-driven, iterative reconstruction remains challenging because of the volumetric nature of many reconstruction problems: the system matrix relating the projection and image domains is too large to incorporate into network training. Past approaches for 2D reconstruction include consecutive projection and image domain processing in a single pass, employing a known analytical operator between domains, and unrolling an established iterative method, solving a series of sub-problems with separately trained networks. Here, we synergize these approaches within the split Bregman optimization framework. Specifically, we formulate a cost function and supervised training approach which yield an analytical reconstruction sub-step, to transform between domains, and a regularization sub-step, which is consistent between iterations. Combined with projection and image domain splitting, these properties reduce the number of free parameters which must be learned, making volumetric, dual-domain data processing more practical. Here, we simultaneously train 3D image and projection domain regularizers using supervised learning during iterative reconstruction with promising algorithm convergence results. Our trained reconstruction framework outperforms a more traditional iterative reconstruction method when starting from 90 noisy projections of the MOBY mouse phantom (image SSIM: iterative, 0.65;DL, 0.86). Furthermore, we successfully apply the model to similarly sampled in vivo mouse data acquired with micro-CT, reducing noise from 277 HU in an initial reconstruction to 41 HU in the DL reconstruction compared with 63 HU of noise in a fully sampled reference reconstruction.

Deep image prior (DIP) has been successfully used in the field of tomography to obtain high-quality images from under-sampled and noisy measurements. The key advantage of DIP compared to conventional deep-learning based imagereconstruction techniques is that it requires no training data and thus can be used in a flexible manner without incorporating domain specific knowledge. The downside of DIP is that it shifts the training step to reconstruction time where usually fast algorithms are required to reduced the latency between acquisition and display of the reconstructed image. In this work we tackle this problem for dynamic tomography scenarios in which a large number of temporally resolved images are taken over time. By initializing the DIP network using a previous frame of the time series, it is possible to significantly reduce the overall reconstruction time. To cope with abrupt changes in the captured time-series, we propose to use an adaptive restart method having the ability to switch between warm- and coldstart depending on the amount of inter-frame changes.
