Cover Story: Ultrasonography is widely used for diagnosis of diseases in internal organs because it is nonradioactive, noninvasive, real-time, and inexpensive. In ultrasonography, a set of measurement markers is placed at two points to measure organs and tumors, then the position and size of the target finding are measured on this basis. The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning model that can automatically detect renal cysts in ultrasound images and predict the appropriate position of a pair of salient anatomical landmarks to measure their size. The deep learning model adopted fine-tuned YOLOv5 for detection of renal cysts and fine-tuned UNet++ for prediction of saliency maps. The evaluation results show that the positions of the salient landmarks were predicted with an accuracy close to that of the radiologists, and in a shorter time. View this paper
