Deep learning of the sectional appearances of 3D CT images for anatomical structure segmentation based on an FCN voting method.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: We propose a single network trained by pixel-to-label deep learning to address the general issue of automatic multiple organ segmentation in three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) images. Our method can be described as a voxel-wise ...

Learning-based automated segmentation of the carotid artery vessel wall in dual-sequence MRI using subdivision surface fitting.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The quantification of vessel wall morphology and plaque burden requires vessel segmentation, which is generally performed by manual delineations. The purpose of our work is to develop and evaluate a new 3D model-based approach for carotid ar...

Brain tumor segmentation using holistically nested neural networks in MRI images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Gliomas are rapidly progressive, neurologically devastating, largely fatal brain tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used technique employed in the diagnosis and management of gliomas in clinical practice. MRI is also the st...

A deep feature fusion methodology for breast cancer diagnosis demonstrated on three imaging modality datasets.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Deep learning methods for radiomics/computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) are often prohibited by small datasets, long computation time, and the need for extensive image preprocessing.

Detection and diagnosis of colitis on computed tomography using deep convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Colitis refers to inflammation of the inner lining of the colon that is frequently associated with infection and allergic reactions. In this paper, we propose deep convolutional neural networks methods for lesion-level colitis detection and ...

Computerized detection of leukocytes in microscopic leukorrhea images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Detection of leukocytes is critical for the routine leukorrhea exam, which is widely used in gynecological examinations. An elevated vaginal leukocyte count in women with bacterial vaginosis is a strong predictor of vaginal or cervical infec...

A neural network approach for fast, automated quantification of DIR performance.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: A critical step in adaptive radiotherapy (ART) workflow is deformably registering the simulation CT with the daily or weekly volumetric imaging. Quantifying the deformable image registration accuracy under these circumstances is a complex ta...

Fully automatic detection of lung nodules in CT images using a hybrid feature set.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop a novel technique for lung nodule detection using an optimized feature set. This feature set has been achieved after rigorous experimentation, which has helped in reducing the false positives significantl...
