In the context of medical imaging and machine learning, one of the most pressing challenges is the effective adaptation of pre-trained models to specialized medical contexts. Despite the availability of advanced pre-trained models, their…
Breast cancer is one of the most serious disease affecting women's health. Due to low cost, portable, no radiation, and high efficiency, breast ultrasound (BUS) imaging is the most popular approach for diagnosing early breast cancer.…
Fluoroscopy is critical for real-time X-ray visualization in medical imaging. However, low-dose images are compromised by noise, potentially affecting diagnostic accuracy. Noise reduction is crucial for maintaining image quality, especially…
In CT angiography, the accurate segmentation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is difficult due to large anatomical variability, low-contrast vessel boundaries, and the close proximity of organs whose intensities resemble vascular…
Artificial intelligence is nowadays used for cell detection and classification in optical microscopy, during post-acquisition analysis. The microscopes are now fully automated and next expected to be smart, to make acquisition decisions…
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is an advanced optical fluorescence imaging technology that has the potential to increase intraoperative precision, extend resection, and tailor surgery for malignant invasive brain tumors because of its…
Among the research efforts to segment the retinal vasculature from fundus images, deep learning models consistently achieve superior performance. However, this data-driven approach is very sensitive to domain shifts. For fundus images, such…
Colonoscopy is a vital tool for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer, which is one of the main causes of cancer-related mortality globally; hence, it is deemed an essential technique for the prevention and early detection of colorectal…
Cardiac auscultation is the most practiced non-invasive and cost-effective procedure for the early diagnosis of heart diseases. While machine learning based systems can aid in automatically screening patients, the robustness of these…
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…
Purpose: Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) is a quantitative, non-invasive alternative to perfusion imaging with contrast agents. Fixing values of certain model parameters in traditional ASL, which actually vary from region to region, may…
The deployment of artificial intelligence in medical imaging is hindered by high computational complexity and resource-intensive processing of volumetric data. Although chest computed tomography (CT) volumes offer richer diagnostic…
In minimally invasive surgery, clinical decisions depend on real-time visual interpretation, yet intraoperative perception varies substantially across surgeons and procedures. This variability limits consistent assessment, training, and the…
Chest x-rays are the most common radiology studies for diagnosing lung and heart disease. Hence, a system for automated pre-reporting of pathologic findings on chest x-rays would greatly enhance radiologists' productivity. To this end, we…
As lung cancer evolves, the presence of enlarged and potentially malignant lymph nodes must be assessed to properly estimate disease progression and select the best treatment strategy. Following the clinical guidelines, estimation of…
Automatically determining the position of every slice in a CT scan is a basic yet powerful capability allowing fast retrieval of region of interest for visual inspection and automated analysis. Unlike conventional localization approaches…
Background and objective Risk prediction models aim at identifying people at higher risk of developing a target disease. Feature selection is particularly important to improve the prediction model performance avoiding overfitting and to…
Ureteroscopy and cystoscopy are the gold standard methods to identify and treat tumors along the urinary tract. It has been reported that during a normal procedure a rate of 10-20 % of the lesions could be missed. In this work we study the…
The automatic analysis of ultrasound sequences can substantially improve the efficiency of clinical diagnosis. In this work we present our attempt to automate the challenging task of measuring the vascular diameter of the fetal abdominal…
