This work tests a self-annotation-based unsupervised methodology for training a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for semantic segmentation of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) scans of concretes. Concrete poses a unique challenge for…

Background: The assessment of left ventricular (LV) function by myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) relies on accurate myocardial segmentation. The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a new method incorporating deep learning with…

Accurate segmentation of the heart is an important step towards evaluating cardiac function. In this paper, we present a fully automated framework for segmentation of the left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular cavities and the myocardium…

This research aims to develop a novel deep learning network, GBU-Net, utilizing a group-batch-normalized U-Net framework, specifically designed for the precise semantic segmentation of the left ventricle in short-axis cine MRI scans. The…

Contrastive learning is a family of self-supervised methods where a model is trained to solve a classification task constructed from unlabeled data. It has recently emerged as one of the leading learning paradigms in the absence of labels…

Deep neural networks usually require accurate and a large number of annotations to achieve outstanding performance in medical image segmentation. One-shot segmentation and weakly-supervised learning are promising research directions that…

An accurate prostate delineation and volume characterization can support the clinical assessment of prostate cancer. A large amount of automatic prostate segmentation tools consider exclusively the axial MRI direction in spite of the…

Parotid gland tumor is a common type of head and neck tumor. Segmentation of the parotid glands and tumors by MR images is important for the treatment of parotid gland tumors. However, segmentation of the parotid glands is particularly…

Deep convolutional neural networks have considerably improved state-of-the-art results for semantic segmentation. Nevertheless, even modern architectures lack the ability to generalize well to a test dataset that originates from a different…

The ability to quickly annotate medical imaging data plays a critical role in training deep learning frameworks for segmentation. Doing so for image volumes or video sequences is even more pressing as annotating these is particularly…

This paper presents a novel positive and negative set selection strategy for contrastive learning of medical images based on labels that can be extracted from clinical data. In the medical field, there exists a variety of labels for data…

Accurate segmentation of coronary Digital Subtraction Angiography images is essential to diagnose and treat coronary artery diseases. Despite advances in deep learning, challenges such as high intra-class variance and class imbalance limit…

Quantification of cardiac structures in non-contrast CT (NCCT) could improve cardiovascular risk stratification. However, setting a manual reference to train a fully convolutional network (FCN) for automatic segmentation of NCCT images is…

We investigate a strategy for improving the efficiency of contrastive learning of visual representations by leveraging a small amount of supervised information during pre-training. We propose a semi-supervised loss, SuNCEt, based on…

Automated animal censuses with aerial imagery are a vital ingredient towards wildlife conservation. Recent models are generally based on supervised learning and thus require vast amounts of training data. Due to their scarcity and minuscule…

Manual segmentation of the Left Ventricle (LV) is a tedious and meticulous task that can vary depending on the patient, the Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) cuts and the experts. Still today, we consider manual delineation done by experts as…

Self-training and contrastive learning have emerged as leading techniques for incorporating unlabeled data, both under distribution shift (unsupervised domain adaptation) and when it is absent (semi-supervised learning). However, despite…

We propose a novel approach that uses sparse annotations from clinical studies to train a 3D segmentation of the carotid artery wall. We use a centerline annotation to sample perpendicular cross-sections of the carotid artery and use an…

A two-stage training paradigm consisting of sequential pre-training and meta-training stages has been widely used in current few-shot learning (FSL) research. Many of these methods use self-supervised learning and contrastive learning to…

Large medical imaging datasets can be cheaply and quickly annotated with low-confidence, weak labels (e.g., radiological scores). Access to high-confidence labels, such as histology-based diagnoses, is rare and costly. Pretraining…
