Lymph node (LN) metastasis status is one of the most critical prognostic and cancer staging factors for patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), or in general, for any types of solid malignant tumors. Preoperative…
In the last few years, deep learning classifiers have shown promising results in image-based medical diagnosis. However, interpreting the outputs of these models remains a challenge. In cancer diagnosis, interpretability can be achieved by…
Despite the advances in medicine, cancer has remained a formidable challenge. Particularly in the case of pancreatic tumors, characterized by their diversity and late diagnosis, early detection poses a significant challenge crucial for…
Accurate delineation of pancreatic tumors is critical for diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome assessment, yet automated segmentation remains challenging due to anatomical variability and limited dataset availability. In this study,…
Pancreatic cancer, which has a low survival rate, is one of the most challenging cancers to diagnose and treat effectively. Early detection through abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans is crucial, yet complicated by the pancreas'…
Background: Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers, with poor survival rates. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a key diagnostic modality, but its effectiveness is constrained by operator subjectivity. This study evaluates a…
Automatic lymph node (LN) segmentation and detection for cancer staging are critical. In clinical practice, computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging detect abnormal LNs. Despite its low contrast and variety in…
Risk stratification (characterization) of tumors from radiology images can be more accurate and faster with computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools. Tumor characterization through such tools can also enable non-invasive cancer staging,…
Pancreatic cancer carries a poor prognosis and relies on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for targeted biopsy and radiotherapy. However, the speckle noise, low contrast, and unintuitive appearance of EUS make segmentation of pancreatic tumors…
Pancreas segmentation has been traditionally challenging due to its small size in computed tomography abdominal volumes, high variability of shape and positions among patients, and blurred boundaries due to low contrast between the pancreas…
Motivated by the challenging segmentation task of pancreatic tubular networks, this paper tackles two commonly encountered problems in biomedical imaging: Topological consistency of the segmentation, and expensive or difficult annotation.…
This paper reports Deep LOGISMOS approach to 3D tumor segmentation by incorporating boundary information derived from deep contextual learning to LOGISMOS - layered optimal graph image segmentation of multiple objects and surfaces. Accurate…
Pancreatic cancer is one of the global leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Despite the success of Deep Learning in computer-aided diagnosis and detection (CAD) methods, little attention has been paid to the detection of Pancreatic…
Weakly supervised segmentation methods can delineate thyroid nodules in ultrasound images efficiently using training data with coarse labels, but suffer from: 1) low-confidence pseudo-labels that follow topological priors, introducing…
Cell detection and segmentation is fundamental for all downstream analysis of digital pathology images. However, obtaining the pixel-level ground truth for single cell segmentation is extremely labor intensive. To overcome this challenge,…
This paper introduces a novel deep-learning method for the automatic detection and segmentation of lung nodules, aimed at advancing the accuracy of early-stage lung cancer diagnosis. The proposed approach leverages a unique "Channel Squeeze…
Weakly supervised nuclei segmentation is a critical problem for pathological image analysis and greatly benefits the community due to the significant reduction of labeling cost. Adopting point annotations, previous methods mostly rely on…
Most of the current state-of-the-art methods for tumor segmentation are based on machine learning models trained on manually segmented images. This type of training data is particularly costly, as manual delineation of tumors is not only…
Finding and identifying scatteredly-distributed, small, and critically important objects in 3D oncology images is very challenging. We focus on the detection and segmentation of oncology-significant (or suspicious cancer metastasized) lymph…
One of the most challenges in medical imaging is the lack of data and annotated data. It is proven that classical segmentation methods such as U-NET are useful but still limited due to the lack of annotated data. Using a weakly supervised…
