Early detection of brain metastases (BM) is one of the determining factors for the successful treatment of patients with cancer; however, the accurate detection of small BM lesions (< 15mm) remains a challenging task. We previously…
The detection of brain metastases (BM) in their early stages could have a positive impact on the outcome of cancer patients. We previously developed a framework for detecting small BM (with diameters of less than 15mm) in T1-weighted…
Resection and whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) are the standards of care for the treatment of patients with brain metastases (BM) but are often associated with cognitive side effects. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) involves a more targeted…
Brain metastases (BMs) are the most frequently occurring brain tumors. The treatment of patients having multiple BMs with stereo tactic radiosurgery necessitates accurate localization of the metastases. Neural networks can assist in this…
Detecting and segmenting brain metastases is a tedious and time-consuming task for many radiologists, particularly with the growing use of multi-sequence 3D imaging. This study demonstrates automated detection and segmentation of brain…
Brain metastasis segmentation poses a significant challenge in medical imaging due to the complex presentation and variability in size and location of metastases. In this study, we first investigate the impact of different imaging…
Brain metastases occur frequently in patients with metastatic cancer. Early and accurate detection of brain metastases is very essential for treatment planning and prognosis in radiation therapy. To improve brain metastasis detection…
Melanoma brain metastases (MBM) are common and spatially heterogeneous lesions, complicating cohort-level analyses due to anatomical variability and differing MRI protocols. We propose a fully differentiable, deep-learning-based deformable…
Brain metastases are a common complication of systemic cancer, affecting over 20% of patients with primary malignancies. Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for diagnosing patients, tracking disease progression,…
Glioblastoma, the most aggressive primary brain tumor, poses a severe clinical challenge due to its diffuse microscopic infiltration, which remains largely undetected on standard MRI. As a result, current radiotherapy planning employs a…
A medical AI system's generalizability describes the continuity of its performance acquired from varying geographic, historical, and methodologic settings. Previous literature on this topic has mostly focused on "how" to achieve high…
The translation of AI-generated brain metastases (BM) segmentation into clinical practice relies heavily on diverse, high-quality annotated medical imaging datasets. The BraTS-METS 2023 challenge has gained momentum for testing and…
Tumor segmentation from multi-modal brain MRI images is a challenging task due to the limited samples, high variance in shapes and uneven distribution of tumor morphology. The performance of automated medical image segmentation has been…
Brain tumor detection can make the difference between life and death. Recently, deep learning-based brain tumor detection techniques have gained attention due to their higher performance. However, obtaining the expected performance of such…
Accurate and automatic segmentation of brain tumors in multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is essential for quantitative measurements, which play an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis and prognosis. The…
Previous studies on computer aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) in 4D breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) regard lesion detection, segmentation and characterization as separate tasks, and typically require users to manually select 2D MRI…
Brain Metastases (BM) are a large contributor to mortality of patients with cancer. They are treated with Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and monitored with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at regular follow-up intervals according to…
Background: Deep learning has demonstrated significant potential for automated brain metastases (BM) segmentation; however, models trained at a singular institution often exhibit suboptimal performance at various sites due to disparities in…
Brain metastases are a common diagnosis that affects between 20% and 40% of cancer patients. Subsequent to radiation therapy, patients with brain metastases undergo follow-up sessions during which the response to treatment is monitored. In…
Objective: Brain metastases (BMs) are common in cancer patients and determining the primary tumor site is crucial for effective treatment. This study aims to predict the primary tumor site from BM MRI data using radiomic features and…
