There has been a significant increase from 2010 to 2016 in the number of people suffering from spine problems. The automatic image segmentation of the spine obtained from a computed tomography (CT) image is important for diagnosing spine…
The spinal cord is frequently affected by atrophy and/or lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Segmentation of the spinal cord and lesions from MRI data provides measures of damage, which are key criteria for the diagnosis,…
Wounds, such as foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, and infected wounds, come up with substantial problems for healthcare professionals. Prompt and accurate segmentation is crucial for effective treatment. However, contemporary…
Deep neural networks for medical image classification often fail to generalize consistently in clinical practice due to violations of the i.i.d. assumption and opaque decision-making. This paper examines interpretability in deep neural…
Background: Shoulder fractures are often underdiagnosed, especially in emergency and high-volume clinical settings. Studies report up to 10% of such fractures may be missed by radiologists. AI-driven tools offer a scalable way to assist…
Tunnel lining crack is a crucial indicator of tunnels' safety status. Aiming to classify and segment tunnel cracks with enhanced accuracy and efficiency, this study proposes a two-step deep learning-based method. An automatic tunnel image…
Conventional computer-assisted orthopaedic navigation systems rely on the tracking of dedicated optical markers for patient poses, which makes the surgical workflow more invasive, tedious, and expensive. Visual tracking has recently been…
A major challenge in stroke research and stroke recovery predictions is the determination of a stroke lesion's extent and its impact on relevant brain systems. Manual segmentation of stroke lesions from 3D magnetic resonance (MR) imaging…
X-ray images ease the diagnosis and treatment process due to their rapid imaging speed and high resolution. However, due to the projection process of X-ray imaging, much spatial information has been lost. To accurately provide efficient…
The accurate identification and precise localization of cephalometric landmarks enable the classification and quantification of anatomical abnormalities. The traditional way of marking cephalometric landmarks on lateral cephalograms is a…
The growing volume of medical imaging data has increased the need for automated diagnostic tools, especially for musculoskeletal injuries like rib fractures, commonly detected via CT scans. Manual interpretation is time-consuming and…
An adequate classification of proximal femur fractures from X-ray images is crucial for the treatment choice and the patients' clinical outcome. We rely on the commonly used AO system, which describes a hierarchical knowledge tree…
For bone segmentation, the classical geodesic active contour model is usually limited by its indiscriminate feature extraction, and then struggles to handle the phenomena of edge obstruction, edge leakage and bone fracture. Thus, we propose…
The diagnostic accuracy and subjectivity of existing Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) ordinal grading systems has been a subject of on-going debate and concern. Existing automated solutions are trained to emulate these imperfect systems, whilst…
The skeletal region is one of the common sites of metastatic spread of cancer in the breast and prostate. CT is routinely used to measure the size of lesions in the bones. However, they can be difficult to spot due to the wide variations in…
Elbow fractures are one of the most common fracture types. Diagnoses on elbow fractures often need the help of radiographic imaging to be read and analyzed by a specialized radiologist with years of training. Thanks to the recent advances…
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as a complimentary method to measure bone quality and assess fracture risk. However, manual segmentation of MR images of bone is time-consuming, limiting the use of MRI measurements in the…
In robotic surgery, task automation and learning from demonstration combined with human supervision is an emerging trend for many new surgical robot platforms. One such task is automated anastomosis, which requires bimanual needle handling…
Fractures of the cervical spine are a medical emergency and may lead to permanent paralysis and even death. Accurate diagnosis in patients with suspected fractures by computed tomography (CT) is critical to patient management. In this…
Bone fragility and fracture caused by osteoporosis or injury are prevalent in adults over the age of 50 and can reduce their quality of life. Hence, predicting the biomechanical bone strength, specifically of the proximal femur, through…
