The goal of this work was to develop a method for accurate and robust automatic segmentation of the prostate clinical target volume in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images for brachytherapy. These images can be difficult to segment because of weak or...
Automatic detection of anatomical landmarks and diseases in medical images is a challenging task which could greatly aid medical diagnosis and reduce the cost and time of investigational procedures. Also, two particular challenges of digital image pr...
This paper presents a method for automatic breast pectoral muscle segmentation in mediolateral oblique mammograms using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) inspired by the Holistically-nested Edge Detection (HED) network. Most of the existing method...
BACKGROUND: Human cortical primary sulci are relatively stable landmarks and commonly observed across the population. Despite their stability, the primary sulci exhibit phenotypic variability.
Deep multitask learning for face analysis has received increasing attentions. From literature, most existing methods focus on optimizing a main task by jointly learning several auxiliary tasks. It is challenging to consider the performance of each ta...
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...
In many medical image analysis applications, only a limited amount of training data is available due to the costs of image acquisition and the large manual annotation effort required from experts. Training recent state-of-the-art machine learning met...

PURPOSE: We present an automated method for extracting anatomical parameters from biplanar radiographs of the spine, which is able to deal with a wide scenario of conditions, including sagittal and coronal deformities, degenerative phenomena as well ...
This paper presents a new approach to automatic three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric annotation for diagnosis, surgical planning, and treatment evaluation. There has long been considerable demand for automated cephalometric landmarking, since manual ...
Automatic detection of anatomical landmarks is an important step for a wide range of applications in medical image analysis. Manual annotation of landmarks is a tedious task and prone to observer errors. In this paper, we evaluate novel deep reinforc...
