Our understanding of organs at risk is progressing to include physical small tissues such as coronary arteries and the radiosensitivities of many small organs and tissues are high. Therefore, the accurate segmentation of small volumes in…

Recently, deep convolutional neural networks have achieved great success for medical image segmentation. However, unlike segmentation of natural images, most medical images such as MRI and CT are volumetric data. In order to make full use…

When using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for segmentation of organs and lesions in medical images, the conventional approach is to work with inputs and outputs either as single slice (2D) or whole volumes (3D). One common…

Recently, joint registration and segmentation has been formulated in a deep learning setting, by the definition of joint loss functions. In this work, we investigate joining these tasks at the architectural level. We propose a registration…

Planning of radiotherapy involves accurate segmentation of a large number of organs at risk, i.e. organs for which irradiation doses should be minimized to avoid important side effects of the therapy. We propose a deep learning method for…

Accurate segmentation for medical images is important for clinical diagnosis. Existing automatic segmentation methods are mainly based on fully supervised learning and have an extremely high demand for precise annotations, which are very…

Interactive segmentation is a promising strategy for building robust, generalisable algorithms for volumetric medical image segmentation. However, inconsistent and clinically unrealistic evaluation hinders fair comparison and misrepresents…

We systematically evaluate a Deep Learning (DL) method in a 3D medical image segmentation task. Our segmentation method is integrated into the radiosurgery treatment process and directly impacts the clinical workflow. With our method, we…

Semantic segmentation for medical 3D image stacks enables accurate volumetric reconstructions, computer-aided diagnostics and follow up treatment planning. In this work, we present a novel variant of the Unet model called the NUMSnet that…

Segmentation in 3D scans is playing an increasingly important role in current clinical practice supporting diagnosis, tissue quantification, or treatment planning. The current 3D approaches based on convolutional neural networks usually…

Multi-organ segmentation is one of most successful applications of deep learning in medical image analysis. Deep convolutional neural nets (CNNs) have shown great promise in achieving clinically applicable image segmentation performance on…

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…

Robot-assisted surgery has made great progress with the development of medical imaging and robotics technology. Medical scene understanding can greatly improve surgical performance while the semantic segmentation of the robotic instrument…

Image segmentation plays a pivotal role in several medical-imaging applications by assisting the segmentation of the regions of interest. Deep learning-based approaches have been widely adopted for semantic segmentation of medical data. In…

There has been a debate in 3D medical image segmentation on whether to use 2D or 3D networks, where both pipelines have advantages and disadvantages. 2D methods enjoy a low inference time and greater transfer-ability while 3D methods are…

Segmentation of the sigmoid colon is a crucial aspect of treating diverticulitis. It enables accurate identification and localisation of inflammation, which in turn helps healthcare professionals make informed decisions about the most…

Accurate segmentation of organ at risk (OAR) play a critical role in the treatment planning of image guided radiation treatment of head and neck cancer. This segmentation task is challenging for both human and automatic algorithms because…

We propose an attention mechanism for 3D medical image segmentation. The method, named segmentation-by-detection, is a cascade of a detection module followed by a segmentation module. The detection module enables a region of interest to…

Over half a million individuals are diagnosed with head and neck cancer each year worldwide. Radiotherapy is an important curative treatment for this disease, but it requires manual time consuming delineation of radio-sensitive organs at…

Although deep convolutional networks have been widely studied for head and neck (HN) organs at risk (OAR) segmentation, their use for routine clinical treatment planning is limited by a lack of robustness to imaging artifacts, low soft…
