Booming deep learning has substantially improved the diagnosis for diverse lesions in ultrasound images, but a conspicuous research gap concerning cervical lymph node lesions still remains. The objective of this work is to diagnose cervical lymph node lesions in ultrasound images by leveraging a deep learning model. To this end, we first collected 3392 cervical ultrasound images containing normal lymph nodes, benign lymph node lesions, malignant primary lymph node lesions, and malignant metastatic lymph node lesions. Given that ultrasound images are generated by the reflection and scattering of sound waves across varied bodily tissues, we proposed the Conv-FFT Block. It integrates convolutional operations with the fast Fourier transform to more astutely model the images. Building upon this foundation, we designed a novel architecture, named SFUSNet. SFUSNet not only discerns variances in ultrasound images from the spatial domain but also adeptly captures micro-structural alterations across various lesions in the frequency domain. To ascertain the potential of SFUSNet, we benchmarked it against 12 popular architectures through five-fold cross-validation. The results show that SFUSNet is the state-of-the-art model and can achieve 92.89% accuracy. Moreover, its average precision, average sensitivity and average specificity for four types of lesions achieve 90.46%, 89.95% and 97.49%, respectively.

The increasing demand for computational photography and imaging on mobile platforms has led to the widespread development and integration of advanced image sensors with novel algorithms in camera systems. However, the scarcity of high-quality data for research and the rare opportunity for in-depth exchange of views from industry and academia constrain the development of mobile intelligent photography and imaging (MIPI). Building on the achievements of the previous MIPI Workshops held at ECCV 2022 and CVPR 2023, we introduce our third MIPI challenge including three tracks focusing on novel image sensors and imaging algorithms. In this paper, we summarize and review the Nighttime Flare Removal track on MIPI 2024. In total, 170 participants were successfully registered, and 14 teams submitted results in the final testing phase. The developed solutions in this challenge achieved state-of-the-art performance on Nighttime Flare Removal. More details of this challenge and the link to the dataset can be found at https://mipi-challenge.org/MIPI2024/.
