X-ray tomography is a powerful volumetric imaging technique, but detailed three dimensional (3D) imaging requires the acquisition of a large number of individual X-ray images, which is time consuming. For applications where spatial…

Advanced navigation techniques in image-guided interventions and surgical robotics require the rapid and precise alignment of 3D preoperative volumes (e.g., CT, MRI) to 2D intraoperative images (e.g., X-ray fluoroscopy). However, existing…

3D ultrasound (US) can facilitate detailed prenatal examinations for fetal growth monitoring. To analyze a 3D US volume, it is fundamental to identify anatomical landmarks of the evaluated organs accurately. Typical deep learning methods…

Purpose: Deformable Image Registration (DIR) can benefit from additional guidance using corresponding landmarks in the images. However, the benefits thereof are largely understudied, especially due to the lack of automatic landmark…

Precise segmentation of brain structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for reliable neuroimaging analysis, yet voxel-wise deep models often yield anatomically inconsistent results that diverge from expert-defined…

Three-dimensional facial stereophotogrammetry provides a detailed representation of craniofacial soft tissue without the use of ionizing radiation. While manual annotation of landmarks serves as the current gold standard for cephalometric…

Ultrasound imaging is a cost-effective and radiation-free modality for visualizing anatomical structures in real-time, making it ideal for guiding surgical interventions. However, its limited field-of-view, speckle noise, and imaging…
