A central challenge in data visualization is to understand which data samples are required to generate an image of a data set in which the relevant information is encoded. In this work, we make a first step towards answering the question of…

Purpose: To develop an algorithm for real-time volumetric image reconstruction and 3D tumor localization based on a single x-ray projection image for lung cancer radiotherapy. Methods: Given a set of volumetric images of a patient at N…

The acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is inherently slow. Inspired by recent advances in deep learning, we propose a framework for reconstructing MR images from undersampled data using a deep cascade of convolutional neural…

Cardiac segmentation of atriums, ventricles, and myocardium in computed tomography (CT) images is an important first-line task for presymptomatic cardiovascular disease diagnosis. In several recent studies, deep learning models have shown…

We solve the analysis sparse coding problem considering a combination of convex and non-convex sparsity promoting penalties. The multi-penalty formulation results in an iterative algorithm involving proximal-averaging. We then unfold the…

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a common procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). A successful isolation produces a continuous lesion (scar) completely encircling the veins that stops activation waves from propagating to…

Recently deep neural networks have been widely and successfully applied in computer vision tasks and attracted growing interests in medical imaging. One barrier for the application of deep neural networks to medical imaging is the need of…

Current methods for 3D object reconstruction from a set of planar cross-sections still struggle to capture detailed topology or require a considerable number of cross-sections. In this paper, we present, to the best of our knowledge the…

During the radiotherapy treatment of patients with lung cancer, the radiation delivered to healthy tissue around the tumor needs to be minimized, which is difficult because of respiratory motion and the latency of linear accelerator…

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…

Automatic segmentation of organs-at-risk (OARs) in CT scans using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is being introduced into the radiotherapy workflow. However, these segmentations still require manual editing and approval by clinicians…

Mitral valve regurgitation is the most common valvular disease, affecting 10% of the population over 75 years old. Left untreated, patients with mitral valve regurgitation can suffer declining cardiac health until cardiac failure and death.…

The accurate characterisation of the 3D deformations of slender fibres and thin sheets in flow, is a key experimental challenge in the study of particle-laden flows. We propose a high-resolution, single-camera method to visualise…

Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. Although generally safe, it is not completely exempt from the risk of complications. The great flexibility of computational models can be a major…

Chest radiographs are commonly performed low-cost exams for screening and diagnosis. However, radiographs are 2D representations of 3D structures causing considerable clutter impeding visual inspection and automated image analysis. Here, we…

Accurate assessment of left atrial fibrosis in patients with atrial fibrillation relies on high-quality 3D late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI images. However, obtaining such images is challenging due to patient motion, changing breathing…

Spectral computed tomography (CT) is an emerging technology capable of providing high chemical specificity, which is crucial for many applications such as detecting threats in luggage. This type of application requires both fast and…

Quantitative analysis of vessel wall structures by automated vessel wall segmentation provides useful imaging biomarkers in evaluating atherosclerotic lesions and plaque progression time-efficiently. To quantify vessel wall features,…

Acquiring annotated data at scale with rare diseases or conditions remains a challenge. It would be extremely useful to have a method that controllably synthesizes images that can correct such underrepresentation. Assuming a proper latent…

Abstract Purpose: High-quality 4D MRI requires an impractically long scanning time for dense k-space signal acquisition covering all respiratory phases. Accelerated sparse sampling followed by reconstruction enhancement is desired but often…
