Despite the impressive advancements achieved using deep-learning for functional brain activity analysis, the heterogeneity of functional patterns and scarcity of imaging data still pose challenges in tasks such as prediction of future onset…
We present a fully convolutional neural network for segmenting ischemic stroke lesions in CT perfusion images for the ISLES 2018 challenge. Treatment of stroke is time sensitive and current standards for lesion identification require manual…
Background and Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant public health issue and a leading cause of death worldwide. Millions of deaths can be averted by early diagnosis and successful treatment of TB patients. Automated diagnosis of TB…
Attenuation compensation (AC), while being beneficial for visual-interpretation tasks in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by SPECT, typically requires the availability of a separate X-ray CT component, leading to additional radiation…
Hemispheric strokes impair motor control in contralateral body parts, necessitating effective rehabilitation strategies. Motor Imagery-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (MI-BCIs) promote neuroplasticity, aiding the recovery of motor…
Perfusion imaging is crucial in acute ischemic stroke for quantifying the salvageable penumbra and irreversibly damaged core lesions. As such, it helps clinicians to decide on the optimal reperfusion treatment. In perfusion CT imaging,…
Carotid atherosclerosis is a major contributor to ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack. Conventional ultrasound assessment is commonly based on intima-media thickness, plaque appearance, stenosis degree, and peak systolic velocity,…
Objective: Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a debilitating neurological disorder that develops after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Early prediction of PTE remains challenging due to heterogeneous clinical data, limited positive cases, and…
Ischemic stroke is a time-critical medical emergency where rapid diagnosis is essential for improving patient outcomes. Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) serves as the frontline imaging tool, yet it often fails to reveal the subtle…
While we are making progress in overcoming infectious diseases and cancer; one of the major medical challenges of the mid-21st century will be the rising prevalence of stroke. Large vessels occlusions are especially debilitating, yet…
X-ray digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is frequently used when evaluating minimally invasive medical interventions. DSA predominantly visualizes vessels, and soft tissue anatomy is less visible or invisible in DSA. Visualization of…
