Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) can map microvessels at a resolution of a few micrometers (\mu m). Transcranial ULM remains challenging in presence of aberrations caused by the skull, which lead to localization errors. Herein, we…
Transcranial ultrasound imaging is currently limited by attenuation and aberration induced by the skull. First used in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), highly echoic microbubbles allowed for the development of novel imaging modalities…
Purpose: Intraoperative ultrasound scanning is a demanding visuotactile task. It requires operators to simultaneously localise the ultrasound perspective and manually perform slight adjustments to the pose of the probe, making sure not to…
On-line segmentation of the uterus can aid effective image-based guidance for precise delivery of dose to the target tissue (the uterocervix) during cervix cancer radiotherapy. 3D ultrasound (US) can be used to image the uterus, however,…
High-quality 3D reconstruction of pulmonary segments plays a crucial role in segmentectomy and surgical planning for the treatment of lung cancer. Due to the resolution requirement of the target reconstruction, conventional deep…
Fluoroscopic imaging that captures X-ray images at video framerates is advantageous for guiding catheter insertions by vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists. Visualizing the dynamical movements non-invasively allows complex…
Objectives- Several ultrasound measures have shown promise for assessment of steatosis compared to traditional B-scan, however clinicians may be required to integrate information across the parameters. Here, we propose an integrated…
This paper presents a deep-learning model for deformable registration of ultrasound images at online rates, which we call U-RAFT. As its name suggests, U-RAFT is based on RAFT, a convolutional neural network for estimating optical flow.…
Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is one of the most common modalities for treating cancer patients. One of the biggest challenges is precise treatment delivery that accounts for varying motion patterns originating from…
Computed tomography (CT) has been a powerful diagnostic tool since its emergence in the 1970s. Using CT data, three-dimensional (3D) structures of human internal organs and tissues, such as blood vessels, can be reconstructed using…
The three-dimensional reconstruction of vocal folds in medicine usually involves endoscopy and an approach to extract depth information like structured light or stereo matching of images. The resulting mesh can accurately represent the…
Fully-convolutional neural networks have achieved superior performance in a variety of image segmentation tasks. However, their training requires laborious manual annotation of large datasets, as well as acceleration by parallel processors…
The registration between the pre-operative model and the intra-operative surface is crucial in image-guided liver surgery, as it facilitates the effective use of pre-operative information during the procedure. However, the intra-operative…

We introduce the idea of inter-slice image augmentation whereby the numbers of the medical images and the corresponding segmentation labels are increased between two consecutive images in order to boost medical image segmentation accuracy.…
Femoral artery access is essential for numerous clinical procedures, including diagnostic angiography, therapeutic catheterization, and emergency interventions. Despite its critical role, successful vascular access remains challenging due…
Super-resolution ultrasound imaging has been so far achieved in 3-D by mechanically scanning a volume with a linear probe, by co-aligning multiple linear probes, by using multiplexed 3-D clinical ultrasound systems, or by using 3-D…
