The hyperthyroidism are directly affect the metabolic rate of the human body. Predicting and diagnosing thyroid disease remain significant challenges in medical research due to the complexity of thyroid hormone regulation and its impact on metabolism. Therefore, this paper proposes a Complex-valued Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolution Neural Network optimized with Giraffe Kicking Optimization Algorithm for Thyroid Nodule Classification in Ultrasound Images (CSGCNN-GKOA-TNC-UI). Here, the ultrasound images are collected through DDTI (Digital Database of Thyroid ultrasound Imageries) dataset. The gathered data is given into the pre-processing stage using Bilinear Double-Order Filter (BDOF) approach to eradicate the noise and increase the input images quality. The pre-processing image is given into the Deep Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering (DAFC) for Region of Interest (RoI) segmentation. The segmented image is fed to the Multi-Objective Matched Synchro Squeezing Chirplet Transform (MMSSCT) for extracting the features, like Geometric features and Morphological features. The extracted features are fed into the CSGCNN, which classifies the Thyroid Nodule into Benign Nodules and Malign Nodules. Finally, Giraffe Kicking Optimization Algorithm (GKOA) is considered to enhance the CSGCNN classifier. The CSGCNN-GKOA-TNC-UI algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. The CSGCNN-GKOA-TNC-UI approach attains 34.9%, 21.5% and 26.8% higher f-score, 18.6%, 29.3 and 19.2% higher accuracy when compared with existing models: Thyroid diagnosis with classification utilizing DNN depending on hybrid meta-heuristic with LSTM method (LSTM-TNC-UI), innovative full-scale connected network for segmenting thyroid nodule in UI (FCG Net-TNC-UI), and Adversarial architecture dependent multi-scale fusion method for segmenting thyroid nodule (AMSeg-TNC-UI) methods respectively.

Nonlinear acoustic propagation theory of plane waves has been used to develop a dual-energy model of the depletion of the fundamental related to the Gol'dberg number and subsequently to the B/A of media (a reference phantom is used as a baseline). The depletion method, however, needs a priori information of the attenuation coefficient (AC) of the assessed media. For this reason, recently, a work introduced a simultaneous estimator of the B/A and AC based on fitting depletion method measurements to a nonlinear model using the iterative algorithm Gauss-Newton Levenberg-Marquardt (GNLM). However, the GNLM method presented high sensitivity to the initial guess values of the algorithm which limits the robustness of the approach. In the present work, the Gauss-Newton method is combined with a total variation regularization approach (GNTV), which is achievable by expanding the nonlinear model of the GNLM method for joint estimation of the B/A and AC of all pixels of the parametric images instead of a block-wise approach. In addition, the GNTV used compounding data from several tone-burst transmissions at different center frequencies rather than only one narrowband tone-burst. The results suggest that incorporating regularization and increasing the number of frequencies improves the robustness of the GNTV compared to the GNLM method by accurately estimating B/A values in uniform and nonuniform experimental phantoms (mean relative error less than 18%).

Quasi-static ultrasound elastography have been proposed to provide information about the mechanical properties of tissues during the patient examination. However, reconstructing tissue properties is a challenging task as it requires to solve an ill-posed inverse problem, with generally no available boundary information and solely 2D estimated displacements, whereas the problem is inherently three-dimensional. In this paper, a Virtual fields based-method is investigated to reconstruct Young's modulus maps from the knowledge of internal displacements and the force applied. The media examined are assumed to be linear elastic and isotropic, and to overcome the lack of 3D data, the plane stress conditions are considered. The developed method is assessed with plane-stress and 3D simulations, as well as phantoms and patient data. For all the media examined, the reconstructed Young's modulus maps clearly reveal regions with different stiffnesses. The stiffness contrast between regions is accurately estimated for the different plane stress simulations, but underestimated for the 3D simulations. These results can be expected as plane stress conditions are no longer satisfied in the 3D simulations. On the other hand, for all these cases, the size and the position of the different regions are correctly estimated when the region is larger than a pixel. Finally, similar comments can be made for the experimental results.

Imaging data was collected using our IACUC approved swine model for traumatic liver injury. All procedures were approved within this IACUC protocol. Sonography was performed using a Logiq E10 scanner with C1-6 probe (GE HealthCare). After ultrasound guided liver trauma, we performed open-abdomen B-Mode ultrasound, CEUS, and CEB-Flow of the injury during infusion of Definity (Lantheus Medical Imaging, N. Billerica, MA). CEUS was performed using coded harmonic imaging and CEB-Flow using a commercial package (GE Healthcare). Twelve swine were used for analysis. Three blinded interpreters were asked to identify injured liver parenchyma and lacerated vessels. Identification rates were compared using ultrasound-guided laceration images and pathology confirmation as a reference standard. Liver injury identification ranged from 88.3% to 100% on CEUS and 50% to 66.7% on CEB-Flow. Consensus identification rates in identifying parenchymal injury were not significantly different (91.7% CEUS vs. 66.7% CEB-Flow, <i>p</i> = .25). Lacerated vessel identification ranged from 41.7% to 58.3% for CEUS and 75.0% to 91.7% for CEB-Flow.
