We present a novel methodology to detect imperfect bilateral symmetry in CT of human anatomy. In this paper, the structurally symmetric nature of the pelvic bone is explored and is used to provide interventional image augmentation for…
Visual cues of enforcing bilaterally symmetric anatomies as normal findings are widely used in clinical practice to disambiguate subtle abnormalities from medical images. So far, inadequate research attention has been received on…
Two algorithms for solving misalignment issues in penalized PET/CT reconstruction using anatomical priors are proposed. Both approaches are based on a recently published joint motion estimation and image reconstruction method. The first…
The main respiratory muscle, the diaphragm, is an example of a thin structure. We aim to perform detailed numerical simulations of the muscle mechanics based on individual patient data. This requires a representation of the diaphragm…
The segmentation of pelvic fracture fragments in CT and X-ray images is crucial for trauma diagnosis, surgical planning, and intraoperative guidance. However, accurately and efficiently delineating the bone fragments remains a significant…
Most data-driven models for medical image analysis rely on universal augmentations to improve accuracy. Experimental evidence has confirmed their effectiveness, but the unclear mechanism underlying them poses a barrier to the widespread…
Bone segmentation is an essential step for the preoperative planning of fracture trauma surgery. The automated segmentation of fractured bone from computed tomography (CT) scans remains challenging, due to the large differences of fractures…
Beamforming is an essential step in the ultrasound image formation pipeline and has recently attracted growing interest. An important goal of beamforming is to increase the image spatial resolution, or in other words to narrow down the…
High energy impacts at joint locations often generate highly fragmented, or comminuted, bone fractures. Current approaches for treatment require physicians to decide how to classify the fracture within a hierarchy fracture severity…
Computed tomography is a method for synthesizing volumetric or cross-sectional images of an object from a collection of projections. Popular reconstruction methods for computed tomography are based on idealized models and assumptions that…
Surgical planning for complex tibial fractures can be challenging for surgeons, as the 3D structure of the later desirable bone alignment may be difficult to imagine. To assist in such planning, we address the challenge of predicting a…
Cross-sectional imaging of human organ serves as a critical tool to provide diagnostic results of many diseases. Based on a unique body coordinate system, we present a method that we use to reconstruct any cross-sectional imaging of organ…
Partial Volume effects are present at the boundary between any two types of material in a CT image due to the scanner's Point Spread Function, finite voxel resolution, and importantly, the discrepancy in radiodensity between the two…
Brain lesions, including stroke and tumours, have a high degree of variability in terms of location, size, intensity and form, making automatic segmentation difficult. We propose an improvement to existing segmentation methods by exploiting…
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of widely used diagnostic tools for medical and dental tomographic imaging of the human body. However, the standard filtered backprojection reconstruction method requires the complete knowledge of the…
