Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among women, which is also visible in men, and accounts for more than 1 in 10 new cancer diagnoses each year. It is also the second most common cause of women who die from cancer. Hence, it…
Artificial intelligence aids in brain tumor detection via MRI scans, enhancing the accuracy and reducing the workload of medical professionals. However, in scenarios with extremely limited medical images, traditional deep learning…
Non-invasive radiological-based lesion characterization and identification, e.g., to differentiate cancer subtypes, has long been a major aim to enhance oncological diagnosis and treatment procedures. Here we study a specific population of…
In breast ultrasound images, precise lesion segmentation is essential for early diagnosis; however, low contrast, speckle noise, and unclear boundaries make this difficult. Even though deep learning models have demonstrated potential,…
Purpose: To develop a Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) breast density deep learning (DL) model in a multi-site setting for synthetic two-dimensional mammography (SM) images derived from digital breast tomosynthesis exams…
Computer-aided detection systems based on deep learning have shown good performance in breast cancer detection. However, high-density breasts show poorer detection performance since dense tissues can mask or even simulate masses. Therefore,…
Skin cancer is among the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases worldwide, with early detection being critical to patient outcomes. This work presents a hybrid machine and deep learning-based approach for classifying malignant and…
3D imaging enables accurate diagnosis by providing spatial information about organ anatomy. However, using 3D images to train AI models is computationally challenging because they consist of 10x or 100x more pixels than their 2D…
Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm to mitigate the reliance on large, annotated datasets, a common bottleneck in medical image analysis. However, standard SSL methods, which rely on simple geometric and color…
Two problems often plague medical imaging analysis: 1) Non-availability of large quantities of labeled training data, and 2) Dealing with imbalanced data, i.e., abundant data are available for frequent classes, whereas data are highly…
Small, imbalanced datasets and poor input image quality can lead to high false predictions rates with deep learning models. This paper introduces Class-Based Image Composition, an approach that allows us to reformulate training inputs…
Barten's model of spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity function of human visual system is embedded in a multi-slice channelized Hotelling observer. This is done by 3D filtering of the stack of images with the spatio-temporal contrast…
Self-supervised learning has proven to be an effective way to learn representations in domains where annotated labels are scarce, such as medical imaging. A widely adopted framework for this purpose is contrastive learning and it has been…
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer with a high mortality rate in women over the age of 40. Many studies have shown that the detection of cancer at earlier stages significantly reduces patients' mortality and morbidity rages.…
Diffusion models have achieved outstanding image generation by reversing a forward noising process to approximate true data distributions. During training, these models predict diffusion scores from noised versions of true samples in a…
Objective: In this work, we perform margin assessment of human breast tissue from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images using deep neural networks (DNNs). This work simulates an intraoperative setting for breast cancer lumpectomy.…
Delayed diagnosis of syndesmosis instability can lead to significant morbidity and accelerated arthritic change in the ankle joint. Weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) has shown promising potential for early and reliable detection of…
Breast cancer (BC) remains a significant health threat, with no long-term cure currently available. Early detection is crucial, yet mammography interpretation is hindered by high false positives and negatives. With BC incidence projected to…
Breast cancer stands as a prevalent cause of fatality among females on a global scale, with prompt detection playing a pivotal role in diminishing mortality rates. The utilization of ultrasound scans in the BUSI dataset for medical imagery…
Lung cancer (LC) ranks among the most frequently diagnosed cancers and is one of the most common causes of death for men and women worldwide. Computed Tomography (CT) images are the most preferred diagnosis method because of their low cost…
