Theoretical analysis and experimental validation of volume bias of soft Dice optimized segmentation maps in the context of inherent uncertainty.

Medical image analysis
The clinical interest is often to measure the volume of a structure, which is typically derived from a segmentation. In order to evaluate and compare segmentation methods, the similarity between a segmentation and a predefined ground truth is measure...

Efficient and Robust Instrument Segmentation in 3D Ultrasound Using Patch-of-Interest-FuseNet with Hybrid Loss.

Medical image analysis
Instrument segmentation plays a vital role in 3D ultrasound (US) guided cardiac intervention. Efficient and accurate segmentation during the operation is highly desired since it can facilitate the operation, reduce the operational complexity, and the...

Difficulty-aware hierarchical convolutional neural networks for deformable registration of brain MR images.

Medical image analysis
The aim of deformable brain image registration is to align anatomical structures, which can potentially vary with large and complex deformations. Anatomical structures vary in size and shape, requiring the registration algorithm to estimate deformati...

Deep neural network models for computational histopathology: A survey.

Medical image analysis
Histopathological images contain rich phenotypic information that can be used to monitor underlying mechanisms contributing to disease progression and patient survival outcomes. Recently, deep learning has become the mainstream methodological choice ...

Image-level detection of arterial occlusions in 4D-CTA of acute stroke patients using deep learning.

Medical image analysis
The triage of acute stroke patients is increasingly dependent on four-dimensional CTA (4D-CTA) imaging. In this work, we present a convolutional neural network (CNN) for image-level detection of intracranial anterior circulation artery occlusions in ...

PadChest: A large chest x-ray image dataset with multi-label annotated reports.

Medical image analysis
We present a labeled large-scale, high resolution chest x-ray dataset for the automated exploration of medical images along with their associated reports. This dataset includes more than 160,000 images obtained from 67,000 patients that were interpre...

Position paper on COVID-19 imaging and AI: From the clinical needs and technological challenges to initial AI solutions at the lab and national level towards a new era for AI in healthcare.

Medical image analysis
In this position paper, we provide a collection of views on the role of AI in the COVID-19 pandemic, from clinical requirements to the design of AI-based systems, to the translation of the developed tools to the clinic. We highlight key factors in de...

Multi-task multi-modal learning for joint diagnosis and prognosis of human cancers.

Medical image analysis
With the tremendous development of artificial intelligence, many machine learning algorithms have been applied to the diagnosis of human cancers. Recently, rather than predicting categorical variables (e.g., stages and subtypes) as in cancer diagnosi...

Deep-COVID: Predicting COVID-19 from chest X-ray images using deep transfer learning.

Medical image analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a major outbreak in more than 150 countries around the world, having a severe impact on the health and life of many people globally. One of the crucial step in fighting COVID-19 is the ability to detect the infected p...

Integrating uncertainty in deep neural networks for MRI based stroke analysis.

Medical image analysis
At present, the majority of the proposed Deep Learning (DL) methods provide point predictions without quantifying the model's uncertainty. However, a quantification of the reliability of automated image analysis is essential, in particular in medicin...
