Aortic shape analysis plays a key role in cardiovascular diagnostics, treatment planning, and understanding disease progression. We present a robust, fully automated pipeline for aortic shape analysis from cardiac MRI, combining deep…
360{\deg} images are informative -- it contains omnidirectional visual information around the camera. However, the areas that cover a 360{\deg} image is much larger than the human's field of view, therefore important information in…
From the simple measurement of tissue attributes in pathology workflow to designing an explainable diagnostic/prognostic AI tool, access to accurate semantic segmentation of tissue regions in histology images is a prerequisite. However,…
Image segmentation is often performed on medical images for identifying diseases in clinical evaluation. Hence it has become one of the major research areas. Conventional image segmentation techniques are unable to provide satisfactory…
Self-supervised learning has proven to be invaluable in making best use of all of the available data in biomedical image segmentation. One particularly simple and effective mechanism to achieve self-supervision is inpainting, the task of…
Optimal surface segmentation is a state-of-the-art method used for segmentation of multiple globally optimal surfaces in volumetric datasets. The method is widely used in numerous medical image segmentation applications. However, nodes in…
Automatic segmentation of myocardium in Late Gadolinium Enhanced (LGE) Cardiac MR (CMR) images is often difficult due to the intensity heterogeneity resulting from accumulation of contrast agent in infarcted areas. In this paper, we propose…
We develop an operator splitting approach to solve diffeomorphic matching problems for sequences of surfaces in three-dimensional space. The goal is to smoothly match, at a very fast rate, finite sequences of observed 3D-snapshots extracted…
Motivated by analyzing a national data base of annual air pollution and cardiovascular disease mortality rate for 3100 counties in the U.S. (areal data), we develop a novel statistical framework to automatically detect spatially varying…
Functional Magnetic Resonance Images acquired during resting-state provide information about the functional organization of the brain through measuring correlations between brain areas. Independent components analysis is the reference…
In computed tomography, the approximation quality of a scan of a physical object is typically limited by the acquisition modalities, especially the hardware including X-ray detectors. To improve upon this, we experiment with a…
We transpose an optimal control technique to the image segmentation problem. The idea is to consider image segmentation as a parameter estimation problem. The parameter to estimate is the color of the pixels of the image. We use the…
Myocardial pathology segmentation (MyoPS) is critical for the risk stratification and treatment planning of myocardial infarction (MI). Multi-sequence cardiac magnetic resonance (MS-CMR) images can provide valuable information. For…
Cardiac function is of paramount importance for both prognosis and treatment of different pathologies such as mitral regurgitation, ischemia, dyssynchrony and myocarditis. Cardiac behavior is determined by structural and functional…
