This paper introduces a network for volumetric segmentation that learns from sparsely annotated volumetric images. We outline two attractive use cases of this method: (1) In a semi-automated setup, the user annotates some slices in the…

As the world progresses in technology and health, awareness of disease by revealing asymptomatic signs improves. It is important to detect and treat tumors in early stage as it can be life-threatening. Computer-aided technologies are used…

Intra-operative ultrasound is an increasingly important imaging modality in neurosurgery. However, manual interaction with imaging data during the procedures, for example to select landmarks or perform segmentation, is difficult and can be…

In recent years Deep Learning has brought about a breakthrough in Medical Image Segmentation. U-Net is the most prominent deep network in this regard, which has been the most popular architecture in the medical imaging community. Despite…

Breast tumor segmentation is one of the key steps that helps us characterize and localize tumor regions. However, variable tumor morphology, blurred boundary, and similar intensity distributions bring challenges for accurate segmentation of…

Since the advent of U-Net, fully convolutional deep neural networks and its many variants have completely changed the modern landscape of deep learning based medical image segmentation. However, the over dependence of these methods on pixel…

Medical images often exhibit low and blurred contrast between lesions and surrounding tissues, with considerable variation in lesion edges and shapes even within the same disease, leading to significant challenges in segmentation.…

Ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) is a non-invasive and cost-effective tool for studying speech articulation, motor control, and related disorders. However, real-time tongue contour segmentation remains challenging due to low signal-to-noise…

Deep learning has shown great promise in the ability to automatically annotate organs in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, for example, of the brain. However, despite advancements in the field, the ability to accurately segment…

Automatic segmentation of anatomical landmarks from ultrasound (US) plays an important role in the management of preterm neonates with a very low birth weight due to the increased risk of developing intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or…

Medical image segmentation is an important step in medical image analysis, especially as a crucial prerequisite for efficient disease diagnosis and treatment. The use of deep learning for image segmentation has become a prevalent trend. The…

In this paper, we propose a bottleneck supervised (BS) U-Net model for liver and tumor segmentation. Our main contributions are: first, we propose a variation of the original U-Net that incorporates dense modules, inception modules and…

Despite the success of convolutional neural networks for 3D medical-image segmentation, the architectures currently used are still not robust enough to the protocols of different scanners, and the variety of image properties they produce.…
