A new dataset for measuring the performance of blood vessel segmentation methods under distribution shifts.

PloS one
Creating a dataset for training supervised machine learning algorithms can be a demanding task. This is especially true for blood vessel segmentation since one or more specialists are usually required for image annotation, and creating ground truth l...

VSR-Net: Vessel-Like Structure Rehabilitation Network With Graph Clustering.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
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...

Unraveling microglial spatial organization in the developing human brain with DeepCellMap, a deep learning approach coupled with spatial statistics.

Nature communications
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...

A novel vessel enhancement method based on Hessian matrix eigenvalues using multilayer perceptron.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
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...

Deep learning for 3D vascular segmentation in hierarchical phase contrast tomography: a case study on kidney.

Scientific reports
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...

Deep Closing: Enhancing Topological Connectivity in Medical Tubular Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
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...

Untethered & Stiffness-Tunable Ferromagnetic Liquid Robots for Cleaning Thrombus in Complex Blood Vessels.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Thrombosis is a significant threat to human health. However, the existing clinical treatment methods have limitations. Magnetic soft matter is used in the biomedical field for years, and ferromagnetic liquids exhibit tunable stiffness and on-demand m...

Capsule networks for segmentation of small intravascular ultrasound image datasets.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging is crucial for planning and performing percutaneous coronary interventions. Automatic segmentation of lumen and vessel wall in IVUS images can thus help streamlining the clinical workflow. State-of-the...

SSCA-Net: Simultaneous Self- and Channel-Attention Neural Network for Multiscale Structure-Preserving Vessel Segmentation.

BioMed research international
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...

A Deep Segmentation Network of Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Based on Attention Mechanism for IVOCT Lumen Contour.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Recently, coronary heart disease has attracted more and more attention, where segmentation and analysis for vascular lumen contour are helpful for treatment. And intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images are used to display lumen shap...
