Hierarchical clustering is an important tool for extracting information from data in a multi-resolution way. It is more meaningful if driven by data, as in the case of divisive algorithms, which split data until no more division is allowed. However, ...
Highly relevant for both clinical and legal medicine applications, the established radiological methods for estimating unknown age in children and adolescents are based on visual examination of bone ossification in X-ray images of the hand. Our group...
White matter hyperintensities (WMH) or white matter lesions exhibit high variability in their characteristics both at population- and subject-level, making their detection a challenging task. Population-level factors such as age, vascular risk factor...

PURPOSE: Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a powerful technique for diagnosing cardiovascular disease. In order to avoid image artifacts caused by patient movement during imaging, we take deep learning-based methods to generate DSA image from ...
Blepharospasm (BSP) is an adult-onset focal dystonia with phenomenologically heterogeneous effects, including, but not limited to, blinks, brief or prolonged spasms, and a narrowing or closure of the eyelids. In spite of the clear and well-known symp...
Early diagnosis of malignant skin lesions is critical for prompt treatment and a clinical prognosis of skin cancers. However, it is difficult to precisely evaluate the development stage of nonmelanoma skin cancers because they are derived from the sa...
