Ultrasound (US) is a critical modality for diagnosing liver fibrosis. Unfortunately, assessment is very subjective, motivating automated approaches. We introduce a principled deep convolutional neural network (CNN) workflow that…
Medical Ultrasound (US) imaging has seen increasing demands over the past years, becoming one of the most preferred imaging modalities in clinical practice due to its affordability, portability, and real-time capabilities. However, it faces…
Clinical imaging is routinely used for cochlear implant surgical planning yet lacks the resolution and contrast necessary to visualize the fine intracochlear structures critical for individualized intervention. To address this limitation,…
Benign laryngeal voice disorders affect nearly one in five individuals and often manifest as dysphonia, while also serving as non-invasive indicators of broader physiological dysfunction. We introduce a clinically inspired hierarchical…
The objective of this paper is to significantly reduce the manual workload required from medical professionals in complex 3D segmentation tasks that cannot be yet fully automated. For instance, in radiotherapy planning, organs at risk must…
Accurately annotated ultrasonic images are vital components of a high-quality medical report. Hospitals often have strict guidelines on the types of annotations that should appear on imaging results. However, manually inspecting these…
Background: Ultrasound is one of the preferred choices for early screening of dense breast cancer. Clinically, doctors have to manually write the screening report which is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to miss and miswrite.…
Speech sound disorders are a common communication impairment in childhood. Because speech disorders can negatively affect the lives and the development of children, clinical intervention is often recommended. To help with diagnosis and…
Accurate segmentation of anatomical structures in ultrasound (US) images, particularly small ones, is challenging due to noise and variability in imaging conditions (e.g., probe position, patient anatomy, tissue characteristics and…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can potentially support histopathologists in the diagnosis of a broad spectrum of cancer types. In colorectal cancer (CRC), AI can alleviate the laborious task of characterization and reporting on resected…
