Segmentation of blood vessels in murine cerebral 3D OCTA images is foundational for in vivo quantitative analysis of the effects of neurovascular disorders, such as stroke or Alzheimer's, on the vascular network. However, to accurately…

Early detection and diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) could save lives and reduce healthcare costs. The current clinical practice is to perform CAD diagnosis through analysing medical images from computed tomography coronary…

We propose a method based on deep learning to perform cardiac segmentation on short axis MRI image stacks iteratively from the top slice (around the base) to the bottom slice (around the apex). At each iteration, a novel variant of U-net is…

Automatic liver lesion segmentation is a challenging task while having a significant impact on assisting medical professionals in the designing of effective treatment and planning proper care. In this paper we propose a cascaded system that…

Segmentation of additive manufacturing (AM) defects in X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) images is challenging, due to the poor contrast, small sizes and variation in appearance of defects. Automatic segmentation can, however, provide quality…

Automated segmentation of left ventricular cavity (LVC) in temporal cardiac image sequences (multiple time points) is a fundamental requirement for quantitative analysis of its structural and functional changes. Deep learning based methods…

Fully convolutional neural networks like U-Net have been the state-of-the-art methods in medical image segmentation. Practically, a network is highly specialized and trained separately for each segmentation task. Instead of a collection of…

Vascular segmentation represents a crucial clinical task, yet its automation remains challenging. Because of the recent strides in deep learning, vesselness filters, which can significantly aid the learning process, have been overlooked.…

We introduce an approach to integrate segmentation information within a convolutional neural network (CNN). This counter-acts the tendency of CNNs to smooth information across regions and increases their spatial precision. To obtain…

Purpose: Automatic and accurate segmentation of fundus vessel images has become an essential prerequisite for computer-aided diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. The task of high-precision retinal vessel segmentation…

In this study, the performance of existing U-shaped neural network architectures was enhanced for medical image segmentation by adding Transformer. Although Transformer architectures are powerful at extracting global information, its…

In this paper we propose a fully automatic 2-stage cascaded approach for segmentation of liver and its tumors in CT (Computed Tomography) images using densely connected fully convolutional neural network (DenseNet). We independently train…

Cerebrovascular disease is one of the major diseases facing the world today. Automatic segmentation of intracranial artery (IA) in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) sequences is an important step in the diagnosis of vascular related…

The health and function of tissue rely on its vasculature network to provide reliable blood perfusion. Volumetric imaging approaches, such as multiphoton microscopy, are able to generate detailed 3D images of blood vessels that could…

Pathological alterations in the human vascular system underlie many chronic diseases, such as atherosclerosis and aneurysms. However, manually analyzing diagnostic images of the vascular system, such as computed tomographic angiograms…

Purpose: Automated distinct bone segmentation from CT scans is widely used in planning and navigation workflows. U-Net variants are known to provide excellent results in supervised semantic segmentation. However, in distinct bone…

Background: Ultrasound imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosing carotid atherosclerosis, a significant precursor to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and events. This non-invasive modality provides real-time, high-resolution…

In this study, we develop a novel methodology for annotating the brain vasculature using dynamic 4D-CTA head scans. By using multiple time points from dynamic CTA acquisitions, we subtract bone and soft tissue to enhance the visualization…

Motion-robust 2D Radial Turbo Spin Echo (RADTSE) pulse sequence can provide a high-resolution composite image, T2-weighted images at multiple echo times (TEs), and a quantitative T2 map, all from a single k-space acquisition. In this work,…

Object segmentation and structure localization are important steps in automated image analysis pipelines for microscopy images. We present a convolution neural network (CNN) based deep learning architecture for segmentation of objects in…
