BACKGROUND: The wide adoption of electronic health record systems (EHRs) in hospitals in China has made large amounts of data available for clinical research including breast cancer. Unfortunately, much of detailed clinical information is embedded in...
Breast tumor segmentation based on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is a challenging problem and an active area of research. Particular challenges, similarly as in other segmentation problems, include the class-imbalance...
Coronary heart disease is a common cause of death despite being preventable. To treat the underlying plaque deposits in the arterial walls, intravascular optical coherence tomography can be used by experts to detect and characterize the lesions. In c...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to describe an automated diagnostic pipeline that uses as input only ultrasound (US) data, but is at the same time informed by a training database of multimodal magnetic resonance (MR) and US image data.
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a retinal vasproliferative disorder disease principally observed in infants born prematurely with low birth weight. ROP is an important cause of childhood blindness. Although automatic or semi-automatic diagnosis o...
Deep learning has shown promising results in medical image analysis, however, the lack of very large annotated datasets confines its full potential. Although transfer learning with ImageNet pre-trained classification models can alleviate the problem,...
