The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects billions of lives around the world and has a significant impact on public healthcare. Due to rising skepticism towards the sensitivity of RT-PCR as screening method, medical imaging like…
Objective : Abdominal anatomy segmentation is crucial for numerous applications from computer-assisted diagnosis to image-guided surgery. In this context, we address fully-automated multi-organ segmentation from abdominal CT and MR images…
The goals of this dissertation are to fully automate the image processing techniques needed in the post-operative stage of IGCIP and to perform a thorough analysis of (a) the robustness of the automatic image processing techniques used in…
Grading of cancer is important to know the extent of its spread. Prior to grading, segmentation of glandular structures is important. Manual segmentation is a time consuming process and is subject to observer bias. Hence, an automated…
The job of Radiation oncologists is to deliver x-ray beams pointed toward the tumor and at the same time avoid the stomach and intestines. With MR-Linacs (magnetic resonance imaging and linear accelerator systems), oncologists can visualize…
We propose a computationally efficient architecture that learns to segment lesions from CT images of the liver. The proposed architecture uses bilinear interpolation with sub-pixel convolution at the last layer to upscale the course feature…
Heart is one of the vital organs of human body. A minor dysfunction of heart even for a short time interval can be fatal, therefore, efficient monitoring of its physiological state is essential for the patients with cardiovascular diseases.…
Lung cancer is one of the prevalence diseases in the world which cause many deaths. Detecting early stages of lung cancer is so necessary. So, modeling and simulating some intelligent medical systems is an essential which can help…
Liver cancer has a high incidence rate, but primary healthcare settings often lack experienced doctors. Advances in large models and AI technologies offer potential assistance. This work aims to address limitations in liver cancer diagnosis…
This paper proposes an automated method for the segmentation and extraction of the posterior segment of the human eye, including the vitreous, retina, choroid, and sclera compartments, using multi-vendor optical coherence tomography (OCT)…
Due to the irregular motion, similar appearance and diverse shape, accurate segmentation of kidney tumor in CT images is a difficult and challenging task. To this end, we present a novel automatic segmentation method, termed as…
Accurate liver and lesion segmentation from computed tomography (CT) images are highly demanded in clinical practice for assisting the diagnosis and assessment of hepatic tumor disease. However, automatic liver and lesion segmentation from…
Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases are the leading causes of mortality worldwide, whose accurate blood vessel segmentation is significant for both scientific research and clinical usage. However, segmenting cardio-cerebrovascular structures…
3D reconstruction of the liver for volumetry is important for qualitative analysis and disease diagnosis. Liver volumetry using ultrasound (US) scans, although advantageous due to less acquisition time and safety, is challenging due to the…
