Evaluation of ultrasonic fibrosis diagnostic system using convolutional network for ordinal regression

Diagnosis of liver fibrosis is important for establishing treatment and assessing the risk of carcinogenesis. Ultrasound imaging is an excellent diagnostic method as a screening test in terms of non-invasiveness and simplicity. The purpose of this study was to automatically diagnose liver fibrosis using ultrasound images to reduce the burden on physicians. We proposed and implemented a system for extracting regions of liver parenchyma utilizing...
