BACKGROUND: Manual landmarking is a time consuming and highly professional work. Although some algorithm-based landmarking methods have been proposed, they lack flexibility and may be susceptible to data diversity.
While astrocytes have been traditionally described as passive supportive cells, studies during the last decade have shown they are active players in many aspects of CNS physiology and function both in normal and disease states. However, the precise m...
Optic disc (OD) and optic cup (OC) segmentation are important steps for automatic screening and diagnosing of optic nerve head abnormalities such as glaucoma. Many recent works formulated the OD and OC segmentation as a pixel classification task. How...
For tumor tracking therapy, precise knowledge of tumor position in real-time is very important. A technique using single x-ray projection based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) was recently developed which can achieve accurate tumor localizati...

BACKGROUND: Interactive echocardiography translation is an efficient educational function to master cardiac anatomy. It strengthens the student's understanding by pixel-level translation between echocardiography and theoretically sketch images. Previ...
PURPOSE: Multiview two-dimensional (2D) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and three-dimensional (3D) CNNs have been successfully used for analyzing volumetric data in many state-of-the-art medical imaging applications. We propose an alternative mo...
Multilayer neural networks have led to remarkable performance on many kinds of benchmark tasks in text, speech, and image processing. Nonlinear parameter estimation in hierarchical models is known to be subject to overfitting and misspecification. On...
