For beamforming ultrasound (US) signals, typically a spatially constant speed-of-sound (SoS) is assumed to calculate delays. As SoS in tissue may vary relatively largely, this approximation may cause wavefront aberrations, thus degrading…

Digital Rock Imaging is constrained by detector hardware, and a trade-off between the image field of view (FOV) and the image resolution must be made. This can be compensated for with super resolution (SR) techniques that take a wide FOV,…
Multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential in clinics for comprehensive diagnosis and surgical planning. Nevertheless, the segmentation of multi-modal MR images tends to be time-consuming and challenging. Convolutional neural…

Although several optical techniques have been recently developed in order to overcome the resolution limit in microscopy, the imaging of sub-wavelength features is still a real challenge. In practise, super-resolution techniques remain…
Ultrasound (US) imaging provides a safe and accessible solution to procedural guidance and diagnostic imaging. The effective usage of conventional 2D US for interventional guidance requires extensive experience to project the image plane…

Volumetric biological imaging often involves compromising high temporal resolution at the expense of high spatial resolution when popular scanning methods are used to capture 3D information. We introduce an integrated experimental and image…
Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ideally requires a high spatial and high temporal resolution, but hardware limitations prevent acquisitions from simultaneously achieving both. Existing image reconstruction…
Ultrasound is widely used in medical diagnostics allowing for accessible and powerful imaging but suffers from resolution limitations due to diffraction and the finite aperture of the imaging system, which restricts diagnostic use. The…
In this paper, we will first introduce a novel multiscale representation (MSR) for shapes. Based on the MSR, we will then design a surface inpainting algorithm to recover 3D geometry of blood vessels. Because of the nature of irregular…
Super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS) visualises microvasculature beyond the ultrasound diffraction limit (wavelength($\lambda$)/2) by localising and tracking spatially isolated microbubble contrast agents. SRUS phantoms typically consist of…
Perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that allows one to measure tissue perfusion in an organ of interest through the injection of an intravascular paramagnetic contrast agent (CA). Due to a preference…
