Automatic liver segmentation plays an important role in computer-aided diagnosis and treatment. Manual segmentation of organs is a difficult and tedious task and so prone to human errors. In this paper, we propose an adaptive 3D region…

Carotid artery vessel wall thickness measurement is an essential step in the monitoring of patients with atherosclerosis. This requires accurate segmentation of the vessel wall, i.e., the region between an artery's lumen and outer wall, in…

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) is a leading form of Head-and-Neck (HAN) cancer in the Arctic, China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East/North Africa. Accurate segmentation of Organs-at-Risk (OAR) from Computed Tomography (CT) images with…

In this paper, we target self-supervised representation learning for zero-shot tumor segmentation. We make the following contributions: First, we advocate a zero-shot setting, where models from pre-training should be directly applicable for…

Manual or automatic delineation of the esophageal tumor in CT images is known to be very challenging. This is due to the low contrast between the tumor and adjacent tissues, the anatomical variation of the esophagus, as well as the…

Brain tumor segmentation is a critical task for patient's disease management. In order to automate and standardize this task, we trained multiple U-net like neural networks, mainly with deep supervision and stochastic weight averaging, on…

Renal tumors, especially renal cell carcinoma (RCC), show significant heterogeneity, posing challenges for diagnosis using radiology images such as MRI, echocardiograms, and CT scans. U-Net based deep learning techniques are emerging as a…

We propose a novel 3D fully convolutional deep network for automated pancreas segmentation from both MRI and CT scans. More specifically, the proposed model consists of a 3D encoder that learns to extract volume features at different…

High-resolution microscopy images of tissue specimens provide detailed information about the morphology of normal and diseased tissue. Image analysis of tissue morphology can help cancer researchers develop a better understanding of cancer…
