Improving sensitivity and connectivity of retinal vessel segmentation via error discrimination network.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Automated retinal vessel segmentation is crucial to the early diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmological diseases. Many deep-learning-based methods have shown exceptional success in this task. However, current approaches are still inadequat...

Phase recognition in contrast-enhanced CT scans based on deep learning and random sampling.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: A fully automated system for interpreting abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans with multiple phases of contrast enhancement requires an accurate classification of the phases. Current approaches to classify the CT phases are commonly base...

Toward automatic beam angle selection for pencil-beam scanning proton liver treatments: A deep learning-based approach.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Dose deposition characteristics of proton radiation can be advantageous over photons. Proton treatment planning, however, poses additional challenges for the planners. Proton therapy is usually delivered with only a small number of beam a...

Registration-guided deep learning image segmentation for cone beam CT-based online adaptive radiotherapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART), especially online ART, effectively accounts for positioning errors and anatomical changes. One key component of online ART process is accurately and efficiently delineating organs at risk (OARs) and targets on on...

Automated estimation of total lung volume using chest radiographs and deep learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Total lung volume is an important quantitative biomarker and is used for the assessment of restrictive lung diseases.

An original deep learning model using limited data for COVID-19 discrimination: A multicenter study.

Medical physics
OBJECTIVES: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been proved to be a highly efficient tool for COVID-19 diagnosis, but the large data size and heavy label force required for algorithm development and the poor generalizability of AI algorithms, to some ex...

Cervical optical coherence tomography image classification based on contrastive self-supervised texture learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer (CC) seriously affects the health of the female reproductive system. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) emerged as a noninvasive, high-resolution imaging technology for cervical disease detection. However, OCT image annota...

Medical lesion segmentation by combining multimodal images with modality weighted UNet.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Automatic segmentation of medical lesions is a prerequisite for efficient clinic analysis. Segmentation algorithms for multimodal medical images have received much attention in recent years. Different strategies for multimodal combination (o...

A U-snake based deep learning network for right ventricle segmentation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Ventricular segmentation is of great importance for the heart condition monitoring. However, manual segmentation is time-consuming, cumbersome, and subjective. Many segmentation methods perform poorly due to the complex structure and uncerta...
