Automated detection and segmentation of thoracic lymph nodes from CT using 3D foveal fully convolutional neural networks.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: In oncology, the correct determination of nodal metastatic disease is essential for patient management, as patient treatment and prognosis are closely linked to the stage of the disease. The aim of the study was to develop a tool for auto...

High precision localization of pulmonary nodules on chest CT utilizing axial slice number labels.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Reidentification of prior nodules for temporal comparison is an important but time-consuming step in lung cancer screening. We develop and evaluate an automated nodule detector that utilizes the axial-slice number of nodules found in radi...

A new machine learning approach for predicting likelihood of recurrence following ablation for atrial fibrillation from CT.

BMC medical imaging
OBJECTIVE: To investigate left atrial shape differences on CT scans of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with (AF+) versus without (AF-) post-ablation recurrence and whether these shape differences predict AF recurrence.

Automated segmentation of the individual branches of the carotid arteries in contrast-enhanced MR angiography using DeepMedic.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive imaging is of interest for tracking the progression of atherosclerosis in the carotid bifurcation, and segmenting this region into its constituent branch arteries is necessary for analyses. The purpose of this study was to va...

Sensitivity analysis for interpretation of machine learning based segmentation models in cardiac MRI.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Image segmentation is a common task in medical imaging e.g., for volumetry analysis in cardiac MRI. Artificial neural networks are used to automate this task with performance similar to manual operators. However, this performance is only ...

Joint optic disc and cup segmentation based on densely connected depthwise separable convolution deep network.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes vision loss and even blindness. The cup to disc ratio (CDR) is an important indicator for glaucoma screening and diagnosis. Accurate segmentation for the optic disc and cup helps obtain CDR. Although...

MIScnn: a framework for medical image segmentation with convolutional neural networks and deep learning.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: The increased availability and usage of modern medical imaging induced a strong need for automatic medical image segmentation. Still, current image segmentation platforms do not provide the required functionalities for plain setup of medi...

Universal adversarial attacks on deep neural networks for medical image classification.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Deep neural networks (DNNs) are widely investigated in medical image classification to achieve automated support for clinical diagnosis. It is necessary to evaluate the robustness of medical DNN tasks against adversarial attacks, as high-...
