Full data acquisition in MRI is inherently slow, which limits clinical throughput and increases patient discomfort. Compressed Sensing MRI (CS-MRI) seeks to accelerate acquisition by reconstructing images from under-sampled k-space data,…
Due to the imbalanced and limited data, semi-supervised medical image segmentation methods often fail to produce superior performance for some specific tailed classes. Inadequate training for those particular classes could introduce more…
This paper proposes a new non-parametric bootstrap method to quantify the uncertainty of average treatment effect estimate for the treated from matching estimators. More specifically, it seeks to quantify the uncertainty associated with the…
During spinal fusion surgery, screws are placed close to critical nerves suggesting the need for highly accurate screw placement. Verifying screw placement on high-quality tomographic imaging is essential. C-arm Cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides…
We propose an unsupervised vision-based system to estimate the joint configurations of the robot arm from a sequence of RGB or RGB-D images without knowing the model a priori, and then adapt it to the task of category-independent…
Background The development of a simulation model of full body reaching tasks that can predict endeffector trajectories and joint excursions consistent with experimental data is a non-trivial task. Because of the kinematic redundancy…
Focused transmits are the most commonly used transmit strategy for echocardiograms, but suffer from relatively low frame rates, and in 3D, even lower volume rates. Fast imaging based on unfocused transmits has disadvantages such as motion…
Objectives: This study examines human Photoplethysmogram (PPG) along with Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to study cardiac autonomic imbalance in epileptic seizures. The significance and the prevalence of changes in PPG morphological…
Displacement estimation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is relevant for several potential applications, e.g. for optical coherence elastography (OCE) for corneal biomechanical characterization. Larger displacements may be…
Even for short protocols (<1 min), head movement can compromise accurate haemodynamic modelling of cerebral CT perfusion (CTP) imaging in acute stroke. Frame-to-frame registration is the most common form of retrospective correction but…
In cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, a 3D high-resolution segmentation of the heart is essential for detailed description of its anatomical structures. However, due to the limit of acquisition duration and respiratory/cardiac…
Despite their potential, markerless hand tracking technologies are not yet applied in practice to the diagnosis or monitoring of the activity in inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases. One reason is that the focus of most methods lies in the…
In machine learning, accurately predicting the probability that a specific input is correct is crucial for risk management. This process, known as uncertainty (or confidence) estimation, is particularly important in mission-critical…
Patient movement in emission tomography deteriorates reconstruction quality because of motion blur. Gating the data improves the situation somewhat: each gate contains a movement phase which is approximately stationary. A standard method is…
Electromagnetic (EM) imaging is an important tool for non-invasive sensing with low-cost and portable devices. One emerging application is EM stroke imaging, which enables early diagnosis and continuous monitoring of brain strokes.…
From an image of a person, we can easily infer the natural 3D pose and shape of the person even if ambiguity exists. This is because we have a mental model that allows us to imagine a person's appearance at different viewing directions from…
Head movement during scanning impedes activation detection in fMRI studies. Head motion in fMRI acquired using slice-based Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) can be estimated and compensated by aligning the images onto a reference volume through…
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have shown promising results for displacement estimation in UltraSound Elastography (USE). Many modifications have been proposed to improve the displacement estimation of CNNs for USE in the axial…
MRI, a widespread non-invasive medical imaging modality, is highly sensitive to patient motion. Despite many attempts over the years, motion correction remains a difficult problem and there is no general method applicable to all situations.…
Pose estimation refers to tracking a human's full body posture, including their head, torso, arms, and legs. The problem is challenging in practical settings where the number of body sensors are limited. Past work has shown promising…
