The task of localizing and categorizing objects in medical images often remains formulated as a semantic segmentation problem. This approach, however, only indirectly solves the coarse localization task by predicting pixel-level scores,…

Z-disks are complex structures that delineate repeating sarcomeres in striated muscle. They play significant roles in cardiomyocytes such as providing mechanical stability for the contracting sarcomere, cell signalling and autophagy.…

Tumor segmentation in PET-CT images is challenging due to the dual nature of the acquired information: low metabolic information in CT and low spatial resolution in PET. U-Net architecture is the most common and widely recognized approach…

We present FourierNet, a single shot, anchor-free, fully convolutional instance segmentation method that predicts a shape vector. Consequently, this shape vector is converted into the masks' contour points using a fast numerical transform.…

Existing methods to reconstruct vascular structures from a computed tomography (CT) angiogram rely on injection of intravenous contrast to enhance the radio-density within the vessel lumen. However, pathological changes can be present in…

U-Net, as an encoder-decoder architecture with forward skip connections, has achieved promising results in various medical image analysis tasks. Many recent approaches have also extended U-Net with more complex building blocks, which…

Each medical segmentation task should be considered with a specific AI algorithm based on its scenario so that the most accurate prediction model can be obtained. The most popular algorithms in medical segmentation, 3D U-Net and its…

Complex scenario of ultrasound image, in which adjacent tissues (i.e., background) share similar intensity with and even contain richer texture patterns than lesion region (i.e., foreground), brings a unique challenge for accurate lesion…

This paper introduces Spectral U-Net, a novel deep learning network based on spectral decomposition, by exploiting Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) for down-sampling and inverse Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (iDTCWT) for…

Accurate brain tumour segmentation is a crucial step towards improving disease diagnosis and proper treatment planning. In this paper, we propose a deep-learning based method to segment a brain tumour into its subregions: whole tumour,…

In recent years, U-Net and its variants have been widely used in pathology image segmentation tasks. One of the key designs of U-Net is the use of skip connections between the encoder and decoder, which helps to recover detailed information…

Delineating infarcted tissue in ischemic stroke lesions is crucial to determine the extend of damage and optimal treatment for this life-threatening condition. However, this problem remains challenging due to high variability of ischemic…

Reliable cell segmentation and classification from biomedical images is a crucial step for both scientific research and clinical practice. A major challenge for more robust segmentation and classification methods is the large variations in…

Pixelwise segmentation of the left ventricular (LV) myocardium and the four cardiac chambers in 2-D steady state free precession (SSFP) cine sequences is an essential preprocessing step for a wide range of analyses. Variability in contrast,…

Multi-phase computed tomography (CT) scans use contrast agents to highlight different anatomical structures within the body to improve the probability of identifying and detecting anatomical structures of interest and abnormalities such as…

Many state-of-the-art computer vision architectures leverage U-Net for its adaptability and efficient feature extraction. However, the multi-resolution convolutional design often leads to significant computational demands, limiting…

This paper explores the segmentation of very small medical objects with significant clinical value. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), particularly UNet-like models, and recent Transformers have shown substantial progress in image…

Accurate Couinaud liver segmentation is critical for preoperative surgical planning and tumor localization.However, existing methods primarily rely on image intensity and spatial location cues, without explicitly modeling vascular topology.…

Artificial intelligence, including deep learning models, will play a transformative role in automated medical image analysis for the diagnosis of cardiac disorders and their management. Automated accurate delineation of cardiac images is…

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…
