Intracranial tumors are groups of cells that usually grow uncontrollably. One out of four cancer deaths is due to brain tumors. Early detection and evaluation of brain tumors is an essential preventive medical step that is performed by…
The segmentation of substantial brain lesions is a significant and challenging task in the field of medical image segmentation. Substantial brain lesions in brain imaging exhibit high heterogeneity, with indistinct boundaries between lesion…
Brain metastases are a common complication of systemic cancer, affecting over 20% of patients with primary malignancies. Longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for diagnosing patients, tracking disease progression,…
Accurate identification of breast masses is crucial in diagnosing breast cancer; however, it can be challenging due to their small size and being camouflaged in surrounding normal glands. Worse still, it is also expensive in clinical…
Precise segmentation of a lesion area is important for optimizing its treatment. Deep learning makes it possible to detect and segment a lesion field using annotated data. However, obtaining precisely annotated data is very challenging in…
In this paper, we present a fully automatic brain tumor segmentation method based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The proposed networks are tailored to glioblastomas (both low and high grade) pictured in MR images. By their very nature,…
Accurate segmentation of pediatric brain tumors in multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is critical for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring, yet faces unique challenges due to limited data, high anatomical…
Segmentation of both large and small white matter hyperintensities/lesions in brain MR images is a challenging task which has drawn much attention in recent years. We propose a multi-scale aggregation model framework to deal with…
Brain tumor segmentation intends to delineate tumor tissues from healthy brain tissues. The tumor tissues include necrosis, peritumoral edema, and active tumor. In contrast, healthy brain tissues include white matter, gray matter, and…
Pediatric central nervous system tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children. The five-year survival rate for high-grade glioma in children is less than 20%. The development of new treatments is dependent upon…
