Topological and geometrical analysis of retinal blood vessel is a cost-effective way for early detection of many common diseases. Meanwhile, automated vessel segmentation and vascular tree analysis are still lacking in terms of…
Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) is a common vascular disease with blood clots inside deep veins, which may block blood flow or even cause a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. A typical exam for DVT using ultrasound (US) imaging is by…
Management of vestibular schwannoma (VS) is based on tumour size as observed on T1 MRI scans with contrast agent injection. Current clinical practice is to measure the diameter of the tumour in its largest dimension. It has been shown that…
The retina is the only part of the human body in which blood vessels can be accessed non-invasively using imaging techniques such as digital fundus images (DFI). The spatial distribution of the retinal microvasculature may change with…
Recent advances in medical vision-language models (VLMs) open up remarkable opportunities for clinical applications such as automated report generation, copilots for physicians, and uncertainty quantification. However, despite their…
The vascular structure of blood vessels is important in diagnosing retinal conditions such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Accurate segmentation of these vessels can help in detecting retinal objects such as the optic disc and optic…
Volumetric analysis of brain ventricle (BV) structure is a key tool in the study of central nervous system development in embryonic mice. High-frequency ultrasound (HFU) is the only non-invasive, real-time modality available for rapid…
