Lung cancer tends to be detected at an advanced stage, resulting in a high patient mortality rate. Thus, much recent research has focused on early disease detection Bronchoscopy is the procedure of choice for an effective noninvasive way of…
With lung cancer being the most fatal cancer worldwide, it is important to detect the disease early. A potentially effective way of detecting early cancer lesions developing along the airway walls (epithelium) is bronchoscopy. To this end,…
Fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM) is a new technique that can be used during a bronchoscopy to analyze the nature of the human bronchial and alveolar mucosa fluorescence microstructure. An endoscopic fibered confocal…
Video bronchoscopy is routinely conducted for biopsies of lung tissue suspected for cancer, monitoring of COPD patients and clarification of acute respiratory problems at intensive care units. The navigation within complex bronchial trees…
Localization of focal vascular lesions on brain MRI is an important component of research on the etiology of neurological disorders. However, manual annotation of lesions can be challenging, time-consuming and subject to observer bias.…
To maximise fuel economy, bladed components in aero-engines operate close to material limits. The severe operating environment leads to in-service damage on compressor and turbine blades, having a profound and immediate impact on the…
Lung ultrasound (LUS) imaging is used to assess lung abnormalities, including the presence of B-line artefacts due to fluid leakage into the lungs caused by a variety of diseases. However, manual detection of these artefacts is challenging.…
Background: Fluorescence angiography has shown very promising results in reducing anastomotic leaks by allowing the surgeon to select optimally perfused tissue. However, subjective interpretation of the fluorescent signal still hinders…
Objective: Survival rate of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients is very poor and can be improved using highly sensitive, specific and accurate techniques. Autofluorescence and fluorescence techniques are very sensitive and useful…
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and early diagnosis is critical to improving patient outcomes. To diagnose cancer, a highly trained pulmonologist must navigate a flexible bronchoscope deep into the…
Endoscopy is a routine imaging technique used for both diagnosis and minimally invasive surgical treatment. Artifacts such as motion blur, bubbles, specular reflections, floating objects and pixel saturation impede the visual interpretation…
Breast lesion segmentation in ultrasound (US) videos is essential for diagnosing and treating axillary lymph node metastasis. However, the lack of a well-established and large-scale ultrasound video dataset with high-quality annotations has…
Detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of cardiac arrhythmia, is difficult since many cases of AF are usually clinically silent and undiagnosed. In particular paroxysmal AF is a form of AF that occurs occasionally, and has a higher…
This study aims to establish a computer-aided diagnostic system for lung lesions using endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to assist physicians in identifying lesion areas. During EBUS-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) procedures,…
A variety of vision ailments are associated with geographic atrophy (GA) in the foveal region of the eye. In current clinical practice, the ophthalmologist manually detects potential presence of such GA based on fundus autofluorescence…
Analysis of microscope images is a tedious work which requires patience and time, usually done manually by the microscopist after data collection. Here we introduce an approach of automatic image analysis, which is based on locally applied…
The purpose of this study is to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system for classifying benign and malignant lung lesions, and to assist physicians in real-time analysis of radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) videos. During the…
Phase recognition plays an essential role for surgical workflow analysis in computer assisted intervention. Transformer, originally proposed for sequential data modeling in natural language processing, has been successfully applied to…
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) is a critical tool for assessing retinal vascular dynamics and aiding in the diagnosis of eye diseases. However, its invasive nature and less accessibility compared to Color Fundus (CF) images pose…
Video bronchoscopy is a fundamental procedure in respiratory medicine, where medical experts navigate through the bronchial tree of a patient to diagnose or operate the patient. Surgeons need to determine the position of the scope as they…
