Retinal fundus images provide valuable insights into the human eye's interior structure and crucial features, such as blood vessels, optic disk, macula, and fovea. However, accurate segmentation of retinal blood vessels can be challenging…
We present a weakly supervised deep learning method to perform instance segmentation of cells present in microscopy images. Annotation of biomedical images in the lab can be scarce, incomplete, and inaccurate. This is of concern when…
We propose performing imbalanced classification by regrouping majority classes into small classes so that we turn the problem into balanced multiclass classification. This new idea is dramatically different from popular loss reweighting and…
Red blood cells are highly deformable and present in various shapes. In blood cell disorders, only a subset of all cells is morphologically altered and relevant for the diagnosis. However, manually labeling of all cells is laborious,…
Automated analysis of tissue sections allows a better understanding of disease biology and may reveal biomarkers that could guide prognosis or treatment selection. In digital pathology, less abundant cell types can be of biological…
Hematological disorders, which involve a variety of malignant conditions and genetic diseases affecting blood formation, present significant diagnostic challenges. One such major challenge in clinical settings is differentiating…

Leukemia (blood cancer) is an unusual spread of White Blood Cells or Leukocytes (WBCs) in the bone marrow and blood. Pathologists can diagnose leukemia by looking at a person's blood sample under a microscope. They identify and categorize…
Circulating blood cell clusters (CCCs) containing red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells(WBCs), and platelets are significant biomarkers linked to conditions like thrombosis, infection, and inflammation. Flow cytometry, paired with…
In this work we propose an approach to select the classification method and features, based on the state-of-the-art, with best performance for diagnostic support through peripheral blood smear images of red blood cells. In our case we used…
Real-world classification domains, such as medicine, health and safety, and finance, often exhibit imbalanced class priors and have asynchronous misclassification costs. In such cases, the classification model must achieve a high recall…
The segmentation and classification of carotid plaques in ultrasound images play important roles in the treatment of atherosclerosis and assessment for the risk of stroke. Although deep learning methods have been used for carotid plaque…
