To develop and evaluate a deep learning method to segment parotid glands from MRI using unannotated MRI and unpaired expert-segmented CT datasets. We introduced a new self-derived organ attention deep learning network for combined CT to MRI image-to-...
The intra-axonal water exchange time (τ), a parameter associated with axonal permeability, could be an important biomarker for understanding and treating demyelinating pathologies such as Multiple Sclerosis. Diffusion-Weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is sensiti...

PURPOSE: The main purpose of this study is to construct a system to track the tumor position during radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment. Existing tumor tracking systems are designed to track a tumor in a two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound (US) image...
PURPOSE: Body composition is known to be associated with many diseases including diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we developed a fully automatic body tissue decomposition procedure to segment three major compartments tha...
Optic-disc photography (ODP) has proven to be very useful for optic nerve evaluation in glaucoma. In real clinical practice, however, limited patient cooperation, small pupils, or media opacities can limit the performance of ODP. The purpose of this ...
The aim of deformable brain image registration is to align anatomical structures, which can potentially vary with large and complex deformations. Anatomical structures vary in size and shape, requiring the registration algorithm to estimate deformati...
The bruise dating can have important medicolegal implications in family violence and violence against women cases. However, studies show that the medical specialist has 50% accuracy in classifying a bruise by age, mainly due to the variability of the...
