Self-supervised pre-training of deep learning models with contrastive learning is a widely used technique in image analysis. Current findings indicate a strong potential for contrastive pre-training on medical images. However, further…

Deep learning-based analysis of high-frequency, high-resolution micro-ultrasound data shows great promise for prostate cancer detection. Previous approaches to analysis of ultrasound data largely follow a supervised learning paradigm.…

Disease diagnosis from medical images via supervised learning is usually dependent on tedious, error-prone, and costly image labeling by medical experts. Alternatively, semi-supervised learning and self-supervised learning offer…

Accurate segmentation of vertebral metastasis in CT is clinically important yet difficult to scale, as voxel-level annotations are scarce and both lytic and blastic lesions often resemble benign degenerative changes. We introduce a 2D…

Deep learning models (DLMs) frequently achieve accurate segmentation and classification of tumors from medical images. However, DLMs lacking feedback on their image segmentation mechanisms, such as Dice coefficients and confidence in their…

In mixed domain semi-supervised medical image segmentation (MiDSS), achieving superior performance under domain shift and limited annotations is challenging. This scenario presents two primary issues: (1) distributional differences between…

Automated grading of prostate cancer histopathology images is a challenging task, with one key challenge being the scarcity of annotations down to the level of regions of interest (strong labels), as typically the prostate cancer Gleason…

Road crack detection is essential for intelligent infrastructure maintenance in smart cities. To reduce reliance on costly pixel-level annotations, we propose WP-CrackNet, an end-to-end weakly-supervised method that trains with only…

Colorectal cancer is a deadly disease that has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Early detection is crucial for saving lives, but traditional diagnostic methods such as colonoscopy and biopsy have limitations. Colonoscopy…

In computational pathology, we often face a scarcity of annotations and a large amount of unlabeled data. One method for dealing with this is semi-supervised learning which is commonly split into a self-supervised pretext task and a…

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Accurate histopathological grading of CRC is essential for prognosis and treatment planning but remains a subjective…

Image segmentation relies on large annotated datasets, which are expensive and slow to produce. Silver-standard (AI-generated) labels are easier to obtain, but they risk introducing bias. Self-supervised learning, needing only images, has…

This paper addresses the problem of few-shot skin disease classification by introducing a novel approach called the Sub-Cluster-Aware Network (SCAN) that enhances accuracy in diagnosing rare skin diseases. The key insight motivating the…

Deep learning has demonstrated significant improvements in medical image segmentation using a sufficiently large amount of training data with manual labels. Acquiring well-representative labels requires expert knowledge and exhaustive…

In semi-supervised medical image segmentation, there exist empirical mismatch problems between labeled and unlabeled data distribution. The knowledge learned from the labeled data may be largely discarded if treating labeled and unlabeled…

Obtaining a large amount of labeled data in medical imaging is laborious and time-consuming, especially for histopathology. However, it is much easier and cheaper to get unlabeled data from whole-slide images (WSIs). Semi-supervised…

The performance of deep learning based semantic segmentation models heavily depends on sufficient data with careful annotations. However, even the largest public datasets only provide samples with pixel-level annotations for rather limited…
