Microwave-based breast cancer detection has been proposed as a complementary approach to compensate for some drawbacks of existing breast cancer detection techniques. Among the existing microwave breast cancer detection methods, machine…
Many lives can be saved if tumors are detected in early stages, which can result in a bigger chance for recovery. Many patients find it irritating to get regular checkups due to the fact that the majority of the monitoring systems are…
Recent advances in cancer research largely rely on new developments in microscopic or molecular profiling techniques offering high level of detail with respect to either spatial or molecular features, but usually not both. Here, we present…
Recent ultrasound imaging modalities based on ultrasound computed tomography indicate a huge potential to detect pathologies is tissue due to altered biomechanical properties. Especially the imaging of speed-of-sound (SoS) distribution in…
Recent advances in high-resolution biomedical imaging focusing on morphological, electrical, and biochemical properties of cells and tissues, scaling from cell clusters down to the molecular level, have improved cancer diagnosis. Multiscale…
Molecular phenotyping by gene expression profiling is common in contemporary cancer research and in molecular diagnostics. However, molecular profiling remains costly and resource intense to implement, and is just starting to be introduced…
Accurate segmentation of tumors and adjacent normal tissues in medical images is essential for surgical planning and tumor staging. Although foundation models generally perform well in segmentation tasks, they often struggle to focus on…
Accurate detection of brain tumors could save lots of lives and increasing the accuracy of this binary classification even as much as a few percent has high importance. Neural Gas Networks (NGN) is a fast, unsupervised algorithm that could…
Prostate cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in men, where early detection greatly improves survival rates. Although MRI-TRUS fusion biopsy offers superior accuracy by combining MRI's detailed visualization with TRUS's…
Cancer detection is one of the key research topics in the medical field. Accurate detection of different cancer types is valuable in providing better treatment facilities and risk minimization for patients. This paper deals with the…
Phase microscopy is an invaluable tool in the biosciences and in clinical diagnostics. The sensitivity of current phase microscopy techniques is optimized for one specific mean phase value and varies significantly across a given sample.…
This work demonstrates an application of near field indirect microwave holography for the detection of malignant tissues in the human breast in an effective way. The holograms are recorded by two directive antennas aligned along each…
Ultrasound (US) is widely used for clinical imaging applications thanks to its real-time and non-invasive nature. However, its lesion detectability is often limited in many applications due to the phase aberration artefact caused by…
Breast cancer is in the most common malignant tumor in women. It accounted for 30% of new malignant tumor cases. Although the incidence of breast cancer remains high around the world, the mortality rate has been continuously reduced. This…
Current approaches for classification of whole slide images (WSI) in digital pathology predominantly utilize a two-stage learning pipeline. The first stage identifies areas of interest (e.g. tumor tissue), while the second stage processes…
Parkinsons disease (PD) is considered one of the most frequent neurological diseases in the world. There is a need to study the early and efficient biomarkers of Parkinsons, such as changes in structural disorders like DNA and chromatin,…
Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of neurofibromas (NFs), which exhibit significant variability in size, morphology, and anatomical location. Accurate and automated segmentation of these tumors…
As Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis is limited to single unidirectional endpoints, most advanced cancer randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are powered for either progression free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS). This discards efficacy…
Understanding the nanoscale structural changes can provide the physical state of cells/tissues. It has been now shown that increases in nanoscale structural alterations are associated with the progress of carcinogenesis in most of the…
Molecular phenotyping is central in cancer precision medicine, but remains costly and standard methods only provide a tumour average profile. Microscopic morphological patterns observable in histopathology sections from tumours are…
