Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging modality that can be conveniently used to classify suspicious breast nodules and potentially detect the onset of breast cancer. Recently, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) techniques have shown…
Automatic segmentation of retinal blood vessels from fundus images plays an important role in the computer aided diagnosis of retinal diseases. The task of blood vessel segmentation is challenging due to the extreme variations in morphology…
Automatic segmentation of the placenta in fetal ultrasound (US) is challenging due to the (i) high diversity of placenta appearance, (ii) the restricted quality in US resulting in highly variable reference annotations, and (iii) the limited…
With the rapid development of deep learning and computer vision technologies, medical image segmentation plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. However, due to the characteristics of breast ultrasound images, such as…
Lung cancer ranks as one of the leading causes of cancer diagnosis and is the foremost cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The early detection of lung nodules plays a pivotal role in improving outcomes for patients, as it enables…
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women worldwide. In clinical routine, automatic breast ultrasound (BUS) image segmentation is very challenging and essential for cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. Many…
Biomedical images are noisy. The imaging equipment itself has physical limitations, and the consequent experimental trade-offs between signal-to-noise ratio, acquisition speed, and imaging depth exacerbate the problem. Denoising is,…
Accurate detection of pulmonary nodules with high sensitivity and specificity is essential for automatic lung cancer diagnosis from CT scans. Although many deep learning-based algorithms make great progress for improving the accuracy of…
We consider deep learning strategies in ultrasound systems, from the front-end to advanced applications. Our goal is to provide the reader with a broad understanding of the possible impact of deep learning methodologies on many aspects of…
In order to improve model accuracy, generalization, and class imbalance issues, this work offers a strong methodology for classifying endoscopic images. We suggest a hybrid feature extraction method that combines convolutional neural…
Ultrasound images are widespread in medical diagnosis for musculoskeletal, cardiac, and obstetrical imaging due to the efficiency and non-invasiveness of the acquisition methodology. However, the acquired images are degraded by acoustic…
Feature-based self-explanatory methods explain their classification in terms of human-understandable features. In the medical imaging community, this semantic matching of clinical knowledge adds significantly to the trustworthiness of the…
Detecting malignant pulmonary nodules at an early stage can allow medical interventions which may increase the survival rate of lung cancer patients. Using computer vision techniques to detect nodules can improve the sensitivity and the…
Object re-identification is of increasing importance in visual surveillance. Most existing works focus on re-identify individual from multiple cameras while the application of group re-identification (Re-ID) is rarely discussed. We redefine…
Ultrasonography offers an inexpensive, widely-accessible and compact medical imaging solution. However, compared to other imaging modalities such as CT and MRI, ultrasound images notoriously suffer from strong speckle noise, which…
Semantic segmentation under domain shift remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision, particularly when labelled training data is scarce. This challenge is particularly exemplified in histopathology image analysis, where the same…
Identifying and interpreting fetal standard scan planes during 2D ultrasound mid-pregnancy examinations are highly complex tasks which require years of training. Apart from guiding the probe to the correct location, it can be equally…
Recently, super-resolution ultrasound imaging with ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) has received much attention. However, ULM relies on low concentrations of microbubbles in the blood vessels, ultimately resulting in long…
With the exponential growth of video content, the need for automated video highlight detection to extract key moments or highlights from lengthy videos has become increasingly pressing. This technology has the potential to enhance user…
Boundary incompleteness raises great challenges to automatic prostate segmentation in ultrasound images. Shape prior can provide strong guidance in estimating the missing boundary, but traditional shape models often suffer from hand-crafted…
