Shape information is a strong and valuable prior in segmenting organs in medical images. However, most current deep learning based segmentation algorithms have not taken shape information into consideration, which can lead to bias towards…

Anatomical mesh segmentation requires models that operate directly on irregular surface geometry while remaining robust to arbitrary patient pose and mesh resolution variation. Existing task-specific mesh and point-cloud methods are not…

We propose a novel attention gate (AG) model for medical imaging that automatically learns to focus on target structures of varying shapes and sizes. Models trained with AGs implicitly learn to suppress irrelevant regions in an input image…

The accurate segmentation of organs-at-risk (OARs) in head and neck CT images is a critical step for radiation therapy of head and neck cancer patients. However, manual delineation for numerous OARs is time-consuming and laborious, even for…

Background:Subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured cerebral aneurysm often leads to fatal consequences.However,if the aneurysm can be found and treated during asymptomatic periods,the probability of rupture can be greatly reduced.At…

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular-related mortality, and accurate stenosis detection is crucial for effective clinical decision-making. Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosing CAD, but…

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are progressive dilatations of the abdominal aorta that, if left untreated, can rupture with lethal consequences. Imaging-based patient monitoring is required to select patients eligible for surgical…

Background: For the clinical adoption of stress-based rupture risk estimation in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), a fully automated pipeline, from clinical imaging to biomechanical stress computation, is essential. To this end, we…

Accurate coronary artery segmentation from coronary computed tomography angiography is essential for quantitative coronary analysis and clinical decision support. Nevertheless, reliable segmentation remains challenging because of small…
