Multi-modal dataset creation for federated learning with DICOM-structured reports.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
Purpose Federated training is often challenging on heterogeneous datasets due to divergent data storage options, inconsistent naming schemes, varied annotation procedures, and disparities in label quality. This is particularly evident in the emerging...

DenseSeg: joint learning for semantic segmentation and landmark detection using dense image-to-shape representation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Semantic segmentation and landmark detection are fundamental tasks of medical image processing, facilitating further analysis of anatomical objects. Although deep learning-based pixel-wise classification has set a new-state-of-the-art for se...

Perfusion estimation from dynamic non-contrast computed tomography using self-supervised learning and a physics-inspired U-net transformer architecture.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Pulmonary perfusion imaging is a key lung health indicator with clinical utility as a diagnostic and treatment planning tool. However, current nuclear medicine modalities face challenges like low spatial resolution and long acquisition times...

Attention-guided erasing for enhanced transfer learning in breast abnormality classification.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers globally, necessitating effective early screening and diagnosis. This study investigates the effectiveness and generalizability of our recently proposed data augmentation technique, att...

A real-time approach for surgical activity recognition and prediction based on transformer models in robot-assisted surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: This paper presents a deep learning approach to recognize and predict surgical activity in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS). Our primary objective is to deploy the developed model for implementing a real-time surgical risk m...

G-SET-DCL: a guided sequential episodic training with dual contrastive learning approach for colon segmentation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: This article introduces a novel deep learning approach to substantially improve the accuracy of colon segmentation even with limited data annotation, which enhances the overall effectiveness of the CT colonography pipeline in clinical settin...

Comparison of active learning algorithms in classifying head computed tomography reports using bidirectional encoder representations from transformers.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Systems equipped with natural language (NLP) processing can reduce missed radiological findings by physicians, but the annotation costs are burden in the development. This study aimed to compare the effects of active learning (AL) algorithms...

Sparse keypoint segmentation of lung fissures: efficient geometric deep learning for abstracting volumetric images.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Lung fissure segmentation on CT images often relies on 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, 3D-CNNs are inefficient for detecting thin structures like the fissures, which make up a tiny fraction of the entire image volume. We pr...

Multi-institutional development and testing of attention-enhanced deep learning segmentation of thyroid nodules on ultrasound.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Thyroid nodules are common, and ultrasound-based risk stratification using ACR's TIRADS classification is a key step in predicting nodule pathology. Determining thyroid nodule contours is necessary for the calculation of TIRADS scores and ca...

Leveraging domain knowledge for synthetic ultrasound image generation: a novel approach to rare disease AI detection.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: This study explores the use of deep generative models to create synthetic ultrasound images for the detection of hemarthrosis in hemophilia patients. Addressing the challenge of sparse datasets in rare disease diagnostics, the study aims to ...
