Purpose: Lung nodule segmentation, i.e., the algorithmic delineation of the lung nodule surface, is a fundamental component of computational nodule analysis pipelines. We propose a new method for segmentation that is a machine learning…
Artificial intelligence-based analysis of lung ultrasound imaging has been demonstrated as an effective technique for rapid diagnostic decision support throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. However, such techniques can require days- or…
Computed Tomography (CT) is a vital diagnostic tool in clinical practice, yet the health risks associated with ionizing radiation cannot be overlooked. Low-dose CT (LDCT) helps mitigate radiation exposure but simultaneously leads to reduced…
Methodological contributions: This paper introduces a family of kernels for analyzing (anatomical) trees endowed with vector valued measurements made along the tree. While state-of-the-art graph and tree kernels use combinatorial tree/graph…
Content-based retrieval supports a radiologist decision making process by presenting the doctor the most similar cases from the database containing both historical diagnosis and further disease development history. We present a deep…
A joint image reconstruction and segmentation approach based on disentangled representation learning was trained to enable cardiac cine MR imaging in real-time and under free-breathing. An exploratory feasibility study tested the proposed…
We explore a solution for learning disease signatures from weakly, yet easily obtainable, annotated volumetric medical imaging data by analyzing 3D volumes as a sequence of 2D images. We demonstrate the performance of our solution in the…
