Identifying patient diagnoses from discharge letters is essential to enable large-scale cohort selection and epidemiological research, but traditional supervised approaches rely on extensive manual annotation, which is often impractical for…
Angle estimation is an important step in the Doppler ultrasound clinical workflow to measure blood velocity. It is widely recognized that incorrect angle estimation is a leading cause of error in Doppler-based blood velocity measurements.…
Localizing the bronchoscope in real time is essential for ensuring intervention quality. However, most existing methods struggle to balance between speed and generalization. To address these challenges, we present BronchoTrack, an…
Abnormal airway dilatation, termed traction bronchiectasis, is a typical feature of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Volumetric computed tomography (CT) imaging captures the loss of normal airway tapering in IPF. We postulated that…
Positioning patients for scanning and interventional procedures is a critical task that requires high precision and accuracy. The conventional workflow involves manually adjusting the patient support to align the center of the target body…
In this study, an automated three dimensional (3D) deep segmentation approach for detecting gliomas in 3D pre-operative MRI scans is proposed. Then, a classi-fication algorithm based on random forests, for survival prediction is presented.…
While we are making progress in overcoming infectious diseases and cancer; one of the major medical challenges of the mid-21st century will be the rising prevalence of stroke. Large vessels occlusions are especially debilitating, yet…
Fundamental to improving Dental and Orthodontic treatments is the ability to quantitatively assess and cross-compare their outcomes. Such assessments require calculating distances and angles from 3D coordinates of dental landmarks. The…
Surgical resection is a common procedure in the treatment of pediatric posterior fossa tumors. However, surgical damage is often unavoidable and its association with postoperative complications is not well understood. A reliable…
Splenomegaly, the enlargement of the spleen, is an important clinical indicator for various associated medical conditions, such as sickle cell disease (SCD). Spleen length measured from 2D ultrasound is the most widely used metric for…
Lymph node station (LNS) delineation from computed tomography (CT) scans is an indispensable step in radiation oncology workflow. High inter-user variabilities across oncologists and prohibitive laboring costs motivated the automated…
In the presented study, a numerical model which predicts the flow-induced collapse within the pharyngeal airway is validated using in vitro measurements. Theoretical simplifications were considered to limit the computation time. Systematic…
Tendon injuries like tendinopathies, full and partial thickness tears are prevalent, and the supraspinatus tendon (SST) is the most vulnerable ones in the rotator cuff. Early diagnosis of SST tendinopathies is of high importance and hard to…
Purpose: Spinal instability is a widespread condition that causes pain, fatigue, and restricted mobility, profoundly affecting patients' quality of life. In clinical practice, the gold standard for diagnosis is dynamic X-ray imaging.…
Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is a vital procedure in emergency airway management, where rapid and accurate glottis detection is essential to ensure patient safety. However, existing machine assisted visual detection systems often rely on…
This paper addresses the issue of cough detection using only audio recordings, with the ultimate goal of quantifying and qualifying the degree of pathology for patients suffering from respiratory diseases, notably mucoviscidosis. A large…
We present OREHAS (Optimized Recognition & Evaluation of volumetric Hydrops in the Auditory System), the first fully automatic pipeline for volumetric quantification of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) from routine 3D-SPACE-MRC and 3D-REAL-IR…
The increase in cardiac and pulmonary diseases presents an alarming and pervasive health challenge on a global scale responsible for unexpected and premature mortalities. In spite of how serious these conditions are, existing methods of…
Deep learning-based automatic segmentation methods have become state-of-the-art. However, they are often not robust enough for direct clinical application, as domain shifts between training and testing data affect their performance. Failure…
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,…
