To explore the effect of lingual artery ligation on tongue vascularity, we performed an analysis of 25 patients who underwent transoral robotic surgery for base of tongue cancers (May 2011 to December 2019). Hounsfield units of the intrinsic muscles ...
Training convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for segmentation of pulmonary airway, artery, and vein is challenging due to sparse supervisory signals caused by the severe class imbalance between tubular targets and background. We present a CNNs-based...

OBJECTIVE: Three-dimensional (3D) blood vessel structure information is important for diagnosis and treatment in various clinical scenarios. We present a fully automatic method for the extraction and differentiation of the arterial and venous vessel ...
Vessel segmentation is a fundamental, yet not well-solved problem in medical image analysis, due to the complicated geometrical and topological structures of human vessels. Unlike existing rule- and conventional learning-based techniques, which hardl...
