Identifying cirrhosis is key to correctly assess the health of the liver. However, the gold standard diagnosis of the cirrhosis needs a medical intervention to obtain the histological confirmation, e.g. the METAVIR score, as the…
Background: Automated analysis of CT scans for abdominal organ measurement is crucial for improving diagnostic efficiency and reducing inter-observer variability. Manual segmentation and measurement of organs such as the kidneys, liver,…
Medical imaging is the most important tool for detecting complications in the inner body of medicine. Nowadays, with the development of image processing technology as well as changing the size of photos to higher resolution images in the…
Quantification of adipose tissue (fat) from computed tomography (CT) scans is conducted mostly through manual or semi-automated image segmentation algorithms with limited efficacy. In this work, we propose a completely unsupervised and…
Integrating deep learning with clinical expertise holds great potential for addressing healthcare challenges and empowering medical professionals with improved diagnostic tools. However, the need for annotated medical images is often an…
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) technology can assist clinicians in evaluating liver lesions and intervening with treatment in time. Although CAD technology has advanced in recent years, the application scope of existing datasets remains…
Thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and plaque rupture have been recognized as the most frequent risk factor for thrombosis and acute coronary syndrome. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) can identify TCFA and assess cap…
We propose a fully-automated method for accurate and robust detection and segmentation of potentially cancerous lesions found in the liver and in lymph nodes. The process is performed in three steps, including organ detection, lesion…
Metastasis on lymph nodes (LNs), the most common way of spread for primary tumor cells, is a sign of increased mortality. However, metastatic LNs are time-consuming and challenging to detect even for professional radiologists due to their…
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, making the development of rapid, minimally invasive, label-free and scalable diagnostic strategies a major challenge in modern oncology. In this context, spectroscopic liquid biopsy…
Objective: Lung ultrasonography is a significant advance toward a harmless lung imagery system. This work has investigated the automatic localization of diagnostically significant features in lung ultrasound pictures which are Pleural line,…
Breast ultrasound (BUS) image segmentation is challenging and critical for BUS Comput-er-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems. Many BUS segmentation approaches have been studied in the last two decades, but the performances of most approaches have…
As the demand for more descriptive machine learning models grows within medical imaging, bottlenecks due to data paucity will exacerbate. Thus, collecting enough large-scale data will require automated tools to harvest data/label pairs from…
The application of ultrasound in healthcare has seen increased diversity and importance. Unlike other medical imaging modalities, ultrasound research and development has historically lagged, particularly in the case of applications with…
The study aim was to utilise multiple feature selection methods in order to select the most important parameters from clinical patient data for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment outcome classification in uterine fibroids.…
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most spread primary liver cancer across the world ($\sim$80\% of the liver tumors). The gold standard for HCC diagnosis is liver biopsy. However, in the clinical routine, expert radiologists provide a visual…
Tumor saliency estimation aims to localize tumors by modeling the visual stimuli in medical images. However, it is a challenging task for breast ultrasound due to the complicated anatomic structure of the breast and poor image quality; and…
During pregnancy, ultrasound examination in the second trimester can assess fetal size according to standardized charts. To achieve a reproducible and accurate measurement, a sonographer needs to identify three standard 2D planes of the…
The proliferative activity of breast tumors, which is routinely estimated by counting of mitotic figures in hematoxylin and eosin stained histology sections, is considered to be one of the most important prognostic markers. However, mitosis…
Purpose: This proof-of-concept study evaluates feasibility and accuracy of an ultrasound-based navigation system for open liver surgery. Unlike most conventional systems that rely on registration to preoperative imaging, the proposed system…
