A tutorial from freeCodeCamp teaching how to build a tumor segmentation pipeline for breast ultrasound images using MONAI, emphasizing data profiling before model selection.
A model trained on ultrasound recordings of the tongue can decode silent speech with a 15.6% word error rate, approaching lip-reading performance despite a smaller dataset.
The video showcases a prototype full-body ultrasound scanner developed by the Midjourney team, using 40 modified probes to scan simultaneously in a water tank. It aims to provide low-cost, accessible 3D medical imaging. While not replacing MRI, it has the potential to improve healthcare accessibility.
A behind-the-scenes video of Midjourney's futuristic ultrasound scanner reveals more hardware details but fails to answer expert concerns about its medical viability and physics limitations.
Aleph Neuro announces the first 3D image of a living human brain using ultrasound localization microscopy through the skull, achieving 100 times greater volumetric resolution than CT. The company open-sources its imaging pipeline and dataset.
Midjourney announced a pivot to medical imaging with an ultrasound body scanner, but experts are skeptical due to lack of evidence and the high-stakes nature of medicine.
An in-depth article from Works in Progress exploring how microbubbles, when burst with ultrasound, can overcome biological barriers like the blood-brain barrier to improve drug delivery, with potential applications in treating brain diseases and other conditions.
Dr. Matthew Zirwas retracts his earlier dismissal of the Midjourney ultrasound scanner, acknowledging that if it is high-resolution, harmless, inexpensive, and convenient, frequent screening could overcome historical pitfalls of unnecessary invasive procedures, though he emphasizes that data is needed to confirm benefit.
A 60-second ultrasound-based full-body scanner that outperforms MRI.
Midjourney CEO David Holz announced the Midjourney Scanner, a full-body ultrasound device using Butterfly Network's chips, and plans to open a spa in San Francisco for preventative scanning.
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a new method to make espresso-strength coffee using ultrasonic sound waves and room-temperature water, reducing energy consumption by up to 75%. Blind taste tests showed the ultrasonic espresso is indistinguishable from traditionally brewed espresso.
The pic0rick is an open-source ultrasound acquisition board based on the RP2040/RP2350 microcontrollers, offering a low-cost alternative to FPGA-based designs for DIY ultrasound imaging.
