Ultrasound (US) is widely used for clinical imaging applications thanks to its real-time and non-invasive nature. However, its lesion detectability is often limited in many applications due to the phase aberration artefact caused by…
Purpose: Widening the availability of fetal MRI with fully automatic real-time planning of radiological brain planes on 0.55T MRI. Methods: Deep learning-based detection of key brain landmarks on a whole-uterus EPI scan enables the…
Fetal cortical plate segmentation is essential in quantitative analysis of fetal brain maturation and cortical folding. Manual segmentation of the cortical plate, or manual refinement of automatic segmentations is tedious and…
Ultrasound imaging is one of the most prominent technologies to evaluate the growth, progression, and overall health of a fetus during its gestation. However, the interpretation of the data obtained from such studies is best left to expert…
The performance and diagnostic utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in pregnancy is fundamentally constrained by fetal motion. Motion of the fetus, which is unpredictable and rapid on the scale of conventional imaging times, limits…
The scoliosis progression in adolescents requires close monitoring to timely take treatment measures. Ultrasound imaging is a radiation-free and low-cost alternative in scoliosis assessment to X-rays, which are typically used in clinical…
Segmentation of brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) is crucial for the analysis of the human brain and diagnosis of various brain disorders. The drawbacks of time-consuming and error-prone manual delineation procedures are aimed to be…
Ultrasound-based fetal biometric measurements, such as head circumference (HC) and biparietal diameter (BPD), are commonly used to evaluate the gestational age and diagnose fetal central nervous system (CNS) pathology. Since manual…
Single-image piece-wise planar 3D reconstruction aims to simultaneously segment plane instances and recover 3D plane parameters from an image. Most recent approaches leverage convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and achieve promising…
Due to imaging artifacts and low signal-to-noise ratio in ultrasound images, automatic bone surface segmentation networks often produce fragmented predictions that can hinder the success of ultrasound-guided computer-assisted surgical…
Purpose: Ultrasound is the most commonly used medical imaging modality for diagnosis and screening in clinical practice. Due to its safety profile, noninvasive nature and portability, ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for fetal…
Placenta volume measured from 3D ultrasound (3DUS) images is an important tool for tracking the growth trajectory and is associated with pregnancy outcomes. Manual segmentation is the gold standard, but it is time-consuming and subjective.…
Echocardiography plays an important part in diagnostic aid in cardiac diseases. A critical step in echocardiography-aided diagnosis is to extract the standard planes since they tend to provide promising views to present different structures…
Image representations are commonly learned from class labels, which are a simplistic approximation of human image understanding. In this paper we demonstrate that transferable representations of images can be learned without manual…
We present a semi-supervised framework for joint segmentation and classification of fetal cardiac ultrasound images. Built upon the EchoCare multi-task backbone, our method integrates SAM-Med2D for boundary refinement and leverages DINOv3…
Objective: The objective of this work is an attempt towards non-contact freehand 3D ultrasound imaging with minimal complexity added to the existing point of care ultrasound (POCUS) systems. Methods: This study proposes a novel approach of…
The quality control of fetal sonographic (FS) images is essential for the correct biometric measurements and fetal anomaly diagnosis. However, quality control requires professional sonographers to perform and is often labor-intensive. To…
Medical images used in clinical practice are heterogeneous and not the same quality as scans studied in academic research. Preprocessing breaks down in extreme cases when anatomy, artifacts, or imaging parameters are unusual or protocols…
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate a robust and clinically validated method for correcting sound speed aberrations in medical ultrasound. We propose a correction method that calculates focusing delays directly from the observed…
As recent advances in AI are causing the decline of conventional diagnostic methods, the realization of end-to-end diagnosis is fast approaching. Ultrasound image segmentation is an important step in the diagnostic process. An accurate and…
