Presently, Covid-19 is a serious threat to the world at large. Efforts are being made to reduce disease screening times and in the development of a vaccine to resist this disease, even as thousands succumb to it everyday. We propose a novel…
We are concerned with the estimation of the exterior surface and interior summaries of tube-shaped anatomical structures. This interest is motivated by two distinct scientific goals, one dealing with the distribution of HIV microbicide in…
The brain is a complex organ controlling cognitive process and physical functions. Tumors in the brain are accelerated cell growths affecting the normal function and processes in the brain. MRI scans provides detailed images of the body…
Uncontrolled cell division in the brain is what gives rise to brain tumors. If the tumor size increases by more than half, there is little hope for the patient's recovery. This emphasizes the need of rapid and precise brain tumor diagnosis.…
Lyme disease is an infectious disease transmitted to humans by a bite from an infected Ixodes species (blacklegged ticks). It is one of the fastest growing vector-borne illness in North America and is expanding its geographic footprint.…
The precise delineation of blood vessels in medical images is critical for many clinical applications, including pathology detection and surgical planning. However, fully-automated vascular segmentation is challenging because of the…
Extracting hepatic vessels from abdominal images is of high interest for clinicians since it allows to divide the liver into functionally-independent Couinaud segments. In this respect, an automated liver blood vessel extraction is widely…
Joint medical relation extraction refers to extracting triples, composed of entities and relations, from the medical text with a single model. One of the solutions is to convert this task into a sequential tagging task. However, in the…
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is a pediatric disorder in which urine flows backwards from the bladder to the upper urinary tract. Its detection is of great importance as it increases the risk of a Urinary Tract Infection, which can then lead…
The study of the retinal vasculature is a fundamental stage in the screening and diagnosis of many diseases. A complete retinal vascular analysis requires to segment and classify the blood vessels of the retina into arteries and veins…
Retinal imaging provides a non-invasive window into systemic microvascular health and has emerged as a potential biomarker for systemic diseases. However, whether retinal features encode biologically meaningful systemic signals that can be…
Colorectal liver metastasis is one of most aggressive liver malignancies. While the definition of lesion type based on CT images determines the diagnosis and therapeutic strategy, the discrimination between cancerous and non-cancerous…
We aim at segmenting small organs (e.g., the pancreas) from abdominal CT scans. As the target often occupies a relatively small region in the input image, deep neural networks can be easily confused by the complex and variable background.…
It remains challenging to automatically segment kidneys in clinical ultrasound images due to the kidneys' varied shapes and image intensity distributions, although semi-automatic methods have achieved promising performance. In this study,…
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy, and accurately distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid tumors is crucial for developing effective treatment plans in clinical practice. Pathologically, thyroid tumors pose…
Precise segmentation of the liver is critical for computer-aided diagnosis such as pre-evaluation of the liver for living donor-based transplantation surgery. This task is challenging due to the weak boundaries of organs, countless…
The assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR) using cardiac MRI, particularly Cine MRI, is a promising technique due to its wide availability. However, some of the temporal information available in clinical Cine MRI may not be fully utilised,…
Machine learning (ML) offers a collection of powerful approaches for detecting and modeling associations, often applied to data having a large number of features and/or complex associations. Currently, there are many tools to facilitate…
Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a congenital birth defect diagnosed by identifying the lack of ganglion cells within the colon's muscularis propria, specifically within the myenteric plexus regions. There may be advantages for quantitative…
For a medical diagnosis, health professionals use different kinds of pathological ways to make a decision for medical reports in terms of patients medical condition. In the modern era, because of the advantage of computers and technologies,…
