The quality of fetal ultrasound screening scans directly influences the precision of biometric measurements. However, acquiring high-quality scans is labor-intensive and highly relies on the operator's skills. Considering the low…
We present the first deep learning model for the analysis of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures. Using a dataset of ICSI procedure videos, we train a deep neural network to segment key objects in the videos achieving a mean…
With the fast development of modern microscopes and bioimaging techniques, an unprecedentedly large amount of imaging data are being generated, stored, analyzed, and even shared through networks. The size of the data poses great challenges…
Automating embryo viability prediction for in vitro fertilization (IVF) is important but challenging due to the limited availability of labeled pregnancy outcome data, as only a small fraction of embryos are labeled after transfer.…
Transfer learning has become a standard practice to mitigate the lack of labeled data in medical classification tasks. Whereas finetuning a downstream task using supervised ImageNet pretrained features is straightforward and extensively…
Automated recognition and classification of bacteria species from microscopic images have significant importance in clinical microbiology. Bacteria classification is usually carried out manually by biologists using different shapes and…
A substantial proportion (45\%) of maternal deaths, neonatal deaths, and stillbirths occur during the intrapartum phase, with a particularly high burden in low- and middle-income countries. Intrapartum biometry plays a critical role in…
The adoption of diagnosis and prognostic algorithms in healthcare has led to concerns about the perpetuation of bias against disadvantaged groups of individuals. Deep learning methods to detect and mitigate bias have revolved around…
We present a novel method for identification of the boundary of embryonic cells (blastomeres) in Hoffman Modulation Contrast (HMC) microscopic images that are taken between day one to day three. Identification of boundaries of blastomeres…
Medical images used in clinical practice are heterogeneous and not the same quality as scans studied in academic research. Preprocessing breaks down in extreme cases when anatomy, artifacts, or imaging parameters are unusual or protocols…
Deep learning models have shown high accuracy in classifying electrocardiograms (ECGs), but their black box nature hinders clinical adoption due to a lack of trust and interpretability. To address this, we propose a novel three-stage…
Globally, infertility rates are increasing, with 2.5\% of all births being assisted by in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in 2022. Male infertility is the cause for approximately half of these cases. The quality of sperm DNA has substantial…
The accuracy of coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis is dependent on a variety of factors, including demographic, symptom, and medical examination, ECG, and echocardiography data, among others. In this context, artificial intelligence…
Transfer learning is a machine learning technique that uses previously acquired knowledge from a source domain to enhance learning in a target domain by reusing learned weights. This technique is ubiquitous because of its great advantages…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed digital pathology by enabling biomarker prediction from high-resolution whole-slide images (WSIs). However, current methods are computationally inefficient, processing thousands of redundant…
Treatment of acute ischemic strokes (AIS) is largely contingent upon the time since stroke onset (TSS). However, TSS may not be readily available in up to 25% of patients with unwitnessed AIS. Current clinical guidelines for patients with…
Manual Pap smear analysis for cervical cancer screening is limited by inter-observer variability, time constraints, and restricted expert availability. Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have automated cervical cell…
Methods for automatic analysis of clinical data are usually targeted towards a specific modality and do not make use of all relevant data available. In the field of male human reproduction, clinical and biological data are not used to its…
Purpose: Ultrasound is the most commonly used medical imaging modality for diagnosis and screening in clinical practice. Due to its safety profile, noninvasive nature and portability, ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for fetal…
Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality in clinical practice during pregnancy. More than 140M fetuses are born yearly, resulting in numerous scans. The availability of a large volume of fetal ultrasound scans presents the opportunity to…
