Current segmentation practice for thoracic cancer RT considers the whole heart as a single organ despite increased risks of cardiac toxicities from irradiation of specific cardiac substructures. Segmenting up to 15 different cardiac substructures can...
BACKGROUND: Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) aging is an important cause of vision loss. As RPE aging is accompanied by changes in cell morphological features, an accurate segmentation of RPE cells is a prerequisite to such morphology analyses. Due t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a common respiratory disease in premature infants. The severity is diagnosed at the 56th day after birth or discharge by analyzing the clinical indicators, which may cause the delay of the best ...
Convolutional neural networks are a class of deep neural networks that leverage spatial information, and they are therefore well suited to classifying images for a range of applications [...].
Development of automated analysis tools for "single ion channel" recording is hampered by the lack of available training data. For machine learning based tools, very large training sets are necessary with sample-by-sample point labelled data (e.g., 1...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning segmentation requires large datasets with ground truth. Image annotation is time consuming and leads to shortages of ground truth data for clinical imaging. This study is to investigate the feasibility of kidney segmentation...
