Abstract:The early detection of liver fibrosis is of significant importance. Deep learning analysis of ultrasound backscattered radiofrequency (RF) signals is emerging for tissue characterization as the RF signals carry abundant information related to tissue microstructures. However, the existing methods only used the time-domain information of the RF signals for liver fibrosis assessment, and the liver region of interest (ROI) is outlined manually. In this study, we proposed an approach for liver fibrosis assessment u… Show more
