• Abstract summary: Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) can be applied on the brachial plexus (BP) after clavicular surgeries. identification of the BP from ultrasound images is difficult, even for trained professionals. We propose a hybrid model consisting of a classification model followed by a segmentation model to segment BP nerve regions in ultrasound images.

• Abstract: Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) can replace general anesthesia (GA), improving pain control and recovery time. This method can be applied on the brachial plexus (BP) after clavicular surgeries. However, identification of the BP from ultrasound (US) images is difficult, even for trained professionals. To address this problem, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and more advanced deep neural networks (DNNs) can be used for identification and segmentation of the BP nerve region. In this paper, we propose a hybrid model consisting of a classification model followed by a segmentation model to segment BP nerve regions in ultrasound images. A CNN model is employed as a classifier to precisely select the images with the BP region. Then, a U-net or M-net model is used for the segmentation. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed hybrid model significantly improves the segmentation performance over a single segmentation model.

  Compressed Sensing MRI reconstructs images of the body's internal anatomy from undersampled and compressed measurements. Deep neural networks have shown great potential for reconstructing high-quality images from highly undersampled measurements. We propose a unified model that is robust to different subsampling patterns and image resolutions in CS-MRI.
