The amygdala plays a vital role in emotional processing and exhibits structural diversity that necessitates fine-scale parcellation for a comprehensive understanding of its anatomico-functional correlations. Diffusion MRI tractography is an…
Convolutional autoencoders have emerged as popular methods for unsupervised defect segmentation on image data. Most commonly, this task is performed by thresholding a pixel-wise reconstruction error based on an $\ell^p$ distance. This…
The extraction of fibers from dMRI data typically produces a large number of fibers, it is common to group fibers into bundles. To this end, many specialized distance measures, such as MCP, have been used for fiber similarity. However,…
Brain imaging studies have demonstrated that diffusion MRI tractography geometric shape descriptors can inform the study of the brain's white matter pathways and their relationship to brain function. In this work, we investigate the…
As tractography datasets continue to grow in size, there is a need for improved visualization methods that can capture structural patterns occurring in large tractography datasets. Transparency is an increasingly important aspect of finding…
Segmentation of both large and small white matter hyperintensities/lesions in brain MR images is a challenging task which has drawn much attention in recent years. We propose a multi-scale aggregation model framework to deal with…
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, a non-invasive tool to infer white matter fiber connections, produces a large number of streamlines containing a wealth of information on structural connectivity. The size of these tractography outputs…

In the present work, we use information theory to understand the empirical convergence rate of tractography, a widely-used approach to reconstruct anatomical fiber pathways in the living brain. Based on diffusion MRI data, tractography is…
Automated segmentation of retinal blood vessels in label-free fundus images entails a pivotal role in computed aided diagnosis of ophthalmic pathologies, viz., diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive disorders and cardiovascular diseases. The…
While nowadays deep neural networks achieve impressive performances on semantic segmentation tasks, they are usually trained by optimizing pixel-wise losses such as cross-entropy. As a result, the predictions outputted by such networks…
Tractography has become an indispensable part of brain connectivity studies. However, it is currently facing problems with reliability. In particular, a substantial amount of nerve fiber reconstructions (streamlines) in tractograms produced…
White Matter Tract Segmentation is imperative for studying brain structural connectivity, neurological disorders and neurosurgery. This task remains complex, as tracts differ among themselves, across subjects and conditions, yet have…

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging allows for reconstruction of models for structural connectivity in the brain, such as fiber orientation distribution functions (ODFs) that describe the distribution, direction, and volume of…
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) allows estimating the position, orientation and dimension of bundles of nerve pathways. This non-invasive imaging technique takes advantage of the diffusion of water molecules and determines the diffusion…
White matter structures composed of myelinated axons in the living human brain are primarily studied by diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI). These long-range projections are typically characterized in a two-step process: dMRI is used to estimate…
Self-supervised learning methods based on image patch reconstruction have witnessed great success in training auto-encoders, whose pre-trained weights can be transferred to fine-tune other downstream tasks of image understanding. However,…
