Brain cancer can be very fatal, but chances of survival increase through early detection and treatment. Doctors use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to detect and locate tumors in the brain, and very carefully analyze scans to segment brain…
A brain tumor, whether benign or malignant, can potentially be life threatening and requires painstaking efforts in order to identify the type, origin and location, let alone cure one. Manual segmentation by medical specialists can be…
Liver cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and accurate Computed Tomography (CT)-based tumor segmentation is essential for diagnosis and treatment. Manual delineation is time-intensive, prone to variability, and highlights the…
Most deep learning models in medical imaging are trained on adult data with unclear performance on pediatric images. In this work, we aim to address this challenge in the context of automated anatomy segmentation in whole-body Computed…
Pancreatic cancer, characterized by its notable prevalence and mortality rates, demands accurate lesion delineation for effective diagnosis and therapeutic interventions. The generalizability of extant methods is frequently compromised due…
Tumor volume and changes in tumor characteristics over time are important biomarkers for cancer therapy. In this context, FDG-PET/CT scans are routinely used for staging and re-staging of cancer, as the radiolabeled fluorodeoxyglucose is…
Assessing tumor response to systemic therapies is one of the main applications of PET/CT. Routinely, only a small subset of index lesions out of multiple lesions is analyzed. However, this operator dependent selection may bias the results…
Accurate segmentation of prostate tumours from PET images presents a formidable challenge in medical image analysis. Despite considerable work and improvement in delineating organs from CT and MR modalities, the existing standards do not…
Inspired by the success of deep learning applications on restoration of low-dose and sparse CT images, we propose a novel method to reconstruct high-quality 4D cone-beam CT (4DCBCT) images from sparse datasets. Our approach combines the…
Quantitative molecular imaging is central to treatment response assessment in oncology, yet clinical practice remains largely dominated by patient-level or limited target-lesion criteria that ignore inter-lesion heterogeneity. This…
Computed Tomography (CT) based precise prostate segmentation for treatment planning is challenging due to (1) the unclear boundary of the prostate derived from CT's poor soft tissue contrast and (2) the limitation of convolutional neural…
Brain tumour segmentation plays a key role in computer-assisted surgery. Deep neural networks have increased the accuracy of automatic segmentation significantly, however these models tend to generalise poorly to different imaging…
Combining dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) with positron emission tomography (PET) offers many potential clinical applications but typically requires expensive hardware upgrades or increases radiation doses on PET/CT scanners due to…
A brain tumor consists of cells showing abnormal brain growth. The area of the brain tumor significantly affects choosing the type of treatment and following the course of the disease during the treatment. At the same time, pictures of…
Deep convolutional neural network (CNN) achieves remarkable performance for medical image analysis. UNet is the primary source in the performance of 3D CNN architectures for medical imaging tasks, including brain tumor segmentation. The…
Deep neural networks have been widely adopted for automatic organ segmentation from abdominal CT scans. However, the segmentation accuracy of some small organs (e.g., the pancreas) is sometimes below satisfaction, arguably because deep…
