GRUU-Net: Integrated convolutional and gated recurrent neural network for cell segmentation.

Medical image analysis
Cell segmentation in microscopy images is a common and challenging task. In recent years, deep neural networks achieved remarkable improvements in the field of computer vision. The dominant paradigm in segmentation is using convolutional neural netwo...

Quantitative CMR population imaging on 20,000 subjects of the UK Biobank imaging study: LV/RV quantification pipeline and its evaluation.

Medical image analysis
Population imaging studies generate data for developing and implementing personalised health strategies to prevent, or more effectively treat disease. Large prospective epidemiological studies acquire imaging for pre-symptomatic populations. These st...

Automated segmentation of macular edema in OCT using deep neural networks.

Medical image analysis
Macular edema is an eye disease that can affect visual acuity. Typical disease symptoms include subretinal fluid (SRF) and pigment epithelium detachment (PED). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been widely used for diagnosing macular edema becau...

Denoising of 3D magnetic resonance images using a residual encoder-decoder Wasserstein generative adversarial network.

Medical image analysis
Structure-preserved denoising of 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is a critical step in medical image analysis. Over the past few years, many algorithms with impressive performances have been proposed. In this paper, inspired by the idea of...

An algorithm for learning shape and appearance models without annotations.

Medical image analysis
This paper presents a framework for automatically learning shape and appearance models for medical (and certain other) images. The algorithm was developed with the aim of eventually enabling distributed privacy-preserving analysis of brain image data...

Automatic CNN-based detection of cardiac MR motion artefacts using k-space data augmentation and curriculum learning.

Medical image analysis
Good quality of medical images is a prerequisite for the success of subsequent image analysis pipelines. Quality assessment of medical images is therefore an essential activity and for large population studies such as the UK Biobank (UKBB), manual id...

Flow network tracking for spatiotemporal and periodic point matching: Applied to cardiac motion analysis.

Medical image analysis
The accurate quantification of left ventricular (LV) deformation/strain shows significant promise for quantitatively assessing cardiac function for use in diagnosis and therapy planning. However, accurate estimation of the displacement of myocardial ...

Abdominal multi-organ segmentation with organ-attention networks and statistical fusion.

Medical image analysis
Accurate and robust segmentation of abdominal organs on CT is essential for many clinical applications such as computer-aided diagnosis and computer-aided surgery. But this task is challenging due to the weak boundaries of organs, the complexity of t...

Unsupervised tumor detection in Dynamic PET/CT imaging of the prostate.

Medical image analysis
Early detection and localization of prostate tumors pose a challenge to the medical community. Several imaging techniques, including PET, have shown some success. But no robust and accurate solution has yet been reached. This work aims to detect pros...

DeepPET: A deep encoder-decoder network for directly solving the PET image reconstruction inverse problem.

Medical image analysis
The purpose of this research was to implement a deep learning network to overcome two of the major bottlenecks in improved image reconstruction for clinical positron emission tomography (PET). These are the lack of an automated means for the optimiza...
