The morphologies of vessel-like structures, such as blood vessels and nerve fibres, play significant roles in disease diagnosis, e.g., Parkinson's disease. Although deep network-based refinement segmentation and topology-preserving segmentation metho...
Mapping cellular organization in the developing brain presents significant challenges due to the multidimensional nature of the data, characterized by complex spatial patterns that are difficult to interpret without high-throughput tools. Here, we pr...
BACKGROUND: Vessel segmentation is a critical aspect of medical image processing, often involving vessel enhancement as a preprocessing step. Existing vessel enhancement methods based on eigenvalues of Hessian matrix face challenges such as inconsist...
Automated blood vessel segmentation is critical for biomedical image analysis, as vessel morphology changes are associated with numerous pathologies. Still, precise segmentation is difficult due to the complexity of vascular structures, anatomical va...
Accurately segmenting tubular structures, such as blood vessels or nerves, holds significant clinical implications across various medical applications. However, existing methods often exhibit limitations in achieving satisfactory topological performa...
