Spatiotemporal reconstruction method of carotid artery ultrasound from freehand sonography.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose4D reconstruction based on radiation-free ultrasound can provide valuable information about the anatomy. Current 4D US technologies are either faced with limited field-of-view (FoV), technical complications, or cumbersome setups. This paper proposes a spatiotemporal US reconstruction framework to enhance its ability to provide dynamic structure information.
methodsWe propose a spatiotemporal US reconstruction framework based on freehand sonography. First, a collecting strategy is presented to acquire 2D US images in multiple spatial and temporal positions. A morphology-based phase extraction method after pose correction is presented to decouple the compounding image variations. For temporal alignment and reconstruction, a robust kernel regression model is established to reconstruct images in arbitrary phases. Finally, the spatiotemporal reconstruction is demonstrated in the form of 4D movies by integrating the US images according to the tracked poses and estimated phases.
resultsQuantitative and qualitative experiments were conducted on the carotid US to validate the feasibility of the proposed pipeline. The mean phase localization and heart rate estimation errors were 0.07 ± 0.04 s and 0.83 ± 3.35 bpm, respectively, compared with cardiac gating signals. The assessment of reconstruction quality showed a low RMSE (<0.06) between consecutive images. Quantitative comparisons of anatomy reconstruction from the generated US volumes and MRI showed an average surface distance of 0.39 ± 0.09 mm on the common carotid artery and 0.53 ± 0.05 mm with a landmark localization error of 0.60 ± 0.18 mm on carotid bifurcation.
conclusionA novel spatiotemporal US reconstruction framework based on freehand sonography is proposed that preserves the utility nature of conventional freehand US. Evaluations on in vivo datasets indicated that our framework could achieve acceptable reconstruction performance and show potential application value in the US examination of dynamic anatomy.
