This paper presents data-driven methods for echocardiogram enhancement. Existing denoising algorithms typically rely on a single noise model, and do not generalize to the composite noise sources typically found in real-world echocardiograms. Our meth...
In this work, we present a fully automated algorithm for extraction of the 3D arterial tree and labelling the tree segments from whole-body magnetic resonance angiography (WB-MRA) sequences. The algorithm developed consists of two core parts (i) 3D v...
Automatic processing of magnetic resonance images is a vital part of neuroscience research. Yet even the best and most widely used medical image processing methods will not produce consistent results when their input images are acquired with differen...

BACKGROUND: To develop and assess an efficient method to identify end-expiratory end-diastolic (ED) and end-systolic (ES) images for accurate quantification of left ventricular (LV) function in real-time cine imaging.
We present a novel interactive segmentation framework incorporating a priori knowledge learned from training data. The knowledge is learned as a structured patch model (StPM) comprising sets of corresponding local patch priors and their pairwise spat...

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients show early changes in white matter (WM) structural integrity. We studied the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in assessing WM alterations in the predementia stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
