Assessment of Liver Diseases Using a Deep-Learning Approach Based on Ultrasound RF-Data

patients who are scheduled for an elastography for clinical reasons usually receive an ultrasound scan in which the b-mode images of the liver tissue are collected. In this study additional radiofrequency data is collected through a software access.

Patients who are transferred to the ultrasound departement due to suspicious focal lesions receive an ultrasonic investigation including the acquisition of raw data and extracting a definitive diagnose from the following clinical routine investigation, depending on the standards of the participating center
