An improved deep network for tissue microstructure estimation with uncertainty quantification.

Medical image analysis
Deep learning based methods have improved the estimation of tissue microstructure from diffusion magnetic resonance imagingĀ (dMRI) scans acquired with a reduced number of diffusion gradients. These methods learn the mapping from diffusion signals in ...

Self-calibrated brain network estimation and joint non-convex multi-task learning for identification of early Alzheimer's disease.

Medical image analysis
Detection of early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (i.e., mild cognitive impairment (MCI)) is important to maximize the chances to delay or prevent progression to AD. Brain connectivity networks inferred from medical imaging data have been commonl...

Deep Atlas Network for Efficient 3D Left Ventricle Segmentation on Echocardiography.

Medical image analysis
We proposed a novel efficient method for 3D left ventricle (LV) segmentation on echocardiography, which is important for cardiac disease diagnosis. The proposed method effectively overcame the 3D echocardiography's challenges: high dimensional data, ...

Learning a cortical parcellation of the brain robust to the MRI segmentation with convolutional neural networks.

Medical image analysis
The parcellation of the human cortex into meaningful anatomical units is a common step of various neuroimaging studies. There have been multiple successful efforts to process magnetic resonance (MR) brain images automatically and identify specific an...

Dynamic coronary roadmapping via catheter tip tracking in X-ray fluoroscopy with deep learning based Bayesian filtering.

Medical image analysis
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is typically performed with image guidance using X-ray angiograms in which coronary arteries are opacified with X-ray opaque contrast agents. Interventional cardiologists typically navigate instruments using n...

Improving cardiac MRI convolutional neural network segmentation on small training datasets and dataset shift: A continuous kernel cut approach.

Medical image analysis
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a wealth of imaging biomarkers for cardiovascular disease care and segmentation of cardiac structures is required as a first step in enumerating these biomarkers. Deep convolutional neural networks (C...

Adaptive sparse learning using multi-template for neurodegenerative disease diagnosis.

Medical image analysis
Neurodegenerative diseases are excessively affecting millions of patients, especially elderly people. Early detection and management of these diseases are crucial as the clinical symptoms take years to appear after the onset of neuro-degeneration. Th...

Siam-U-Net: encoder-decoder siamese network for knee cartilage tracking in ultrasound images.

Medical image analysis
The tracking of the knee femoral condyle cartilage during ultrasound-guided minimally invasive procedures is important to avoid damaging this structure during such interventions. In this study, we propose a new deep learning method to track, accurate...

Conflict management in the fusion of complementary segmentations of deformed kidneys and nephroblastoma.

Medical image analysis
The fusion of multiple segmentations aims to improve their accuracy in order to make them exploitable. However, conflicts may appear. In this paper, two conflict-management models are proposed for the fusion of complementary segmentations. This confl...

Shape and margin-aware lung nodule classification in low-dose CT images via soft activation mapping.

Medical image analysis
A number of studies on lung nodule classification lack clinical/biological interpretations of the features extracted by convolutional neural network (CNN). The methods like class activation mapping (CAM) and gradient-based CAM (Grad-CAM) are tailored...
