When solving a segmentation task, shaped-base methods can be beneficial compared to pixelwise classification due to geometric understanding of the target object as shape, preventing the generation of anatomical implausible predictions in…

Background: Brain tumor segmentation has a significant impact on the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors. Accurate brain tumor segmentation remains challenging due to their irregular shapes, vague boundaries, and high variability.…

Whole-body PET/CT scan is an important tool for diagnosing various malignancies (e.g., malignant melanoma, lymphoma, or lung cancer), and accurate segmentation of tumors is a key part for subsequent treatment. In recent years, CNN-based…

Purpose: This paper presents the preliminary results of a semi-automatic method for prostate segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) which aims to be incorporated in a navigation system for prostate brachytherapy. Methods: The…

Medical image segmentation models are typically optimised with voxel-wise losses that constrain predictions only in the output space. This leaves latent feature representations largely unconstrained, potentially limiting generalisation. We…

Purpose: Proximal femur image analyses based on quantitative computed tomography (QCT) provide a method to quantify the bone density and evaluate osteoporosis and risk of fracture. We aim to develop a deep-learning-based method for…

The diagnosis of prostate cancer faces a problem with overdiagnosis that leads to damaging side effects due to unnecessary treatment. Research has shown that the use of multi-parametric magnetic resonance images to conduct biopsies can…

Automatic segmentation of skin lesion is considered a crucial step in Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) for melanoma diagnosis. Despite its significance, skin lesion segmentation remains a challenging task due to their diverse color, texture,…

In this work, we propose to resolve the issue existing in current deep learning based organ segmentation systems that they often produce results that do not capture the overall shape of the target organ and often lack smoothness. Since…

Semantic segmentation is a fundamental task in multimedia processing, which can be used for analyzing, understanding, editing contents of images and videos, among others. To accelerate the analysis of multimedia data, existing segmentation…

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) has shown excellent results in the detection of prostate cancer (PCa). However, characterizing prostate lesions aggressiveness in mp-MRI sequences is impossible in clinical practice, and…

Semantic segmentation, a pixel-level vision task, is developed rapidly by using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Training CNNs requires a large amount of labeled data, but manually annotating data is difficult. For emancipating…

The recently proposed Segment Anything Model (SAM) is a general tool for image segmentation, but it requires additional adaptation and careful fine-tuning for medical image segmentation, especially for small, irregularly-shaped, and…

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformer-based models are being widely applied in medical image segmentation thanks to their ability to extract high-level features and capture important aspects of the image. However, there is…

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent cancer among men in the United States, accounting for nearly 300,000 cases, 29\% of all diagnoses and 35,000 total deaths in 2024. Traditional screening methods such as prostate-specific antigen…

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become an essential tool in the medical imaging-based computer-aided diagnostic pipeline. However, training accurate and reliable CNNs requires large fine-grain annotated datasets. To alleviate…

Automatic prostate segmentation is an important step in computer-aided diagnosis of prostate cancer and treatment planning. Existing methods of prostate segmentation are based on deep learning models which have a large size and lack of…

Fully convolutional neural networks (FCNs), and in particular U-Nets, have achieved state-of-the-art results in semantic segmentation for numerous medical imaging applications. Moreover, batch normalization and Dice loss have been used…

Deep convolutional neural networks have proved effective in segmenting lesions and anatomies in various medical imaging modalities. However, in the presence of small sample size and domain shift problems, these models often produce masks…

Automatic prostate segmentation in TRUS images has always been a challenging problem, since prostates in TRUS images have ambiguous boundaries and inhomogeneous intensity distribution. Although many prostate segmentation methods have been…
