The state-of-the-art models for medical image segmentation are variants of U-Net and fully convolutional networks (FCN). Despite their success, these models have two limitations: (1) their optimal depth is apriori unknown, requiring extensive archite...
Depression or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a mental illness which negatively affects how a person thinks, acts or feels. MDD has become a major disease affecting millions of people presently. The diagnosis of depression is questionnaire based a...

In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) enables clinicians to examine lesions' morphological and cytological information in epidermal and dermal layers while reducing the need for biopsies. As RCM is being adopted more widely, the workflow is e...
BACKGROUND: Although analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images provides accurate and reproducible measurements of left ventricular (LV) volumes, these measurements are usually not performed throughout the cardiac cycle because of lack of to...

PURPOSE: Radiation treatment is improved by the use of image-guided workflows. This work pursues the approach of using ultrasound (US) as a real-time imaging modality. The primary focus of this study is to develop and test a breathing and motion cont...
Automatic identification of tissue structures in the analysis of digital tissue biopsies remains an ongoing problem in digital pathology. Common barriers include lack of reliable ground truth due to inter- and intra- reader variability, class imbalan...
BACKGROUND: Infertility and subfertility affect a significant proportion of humanity. Assisted reproductive technology has been proven capable of alleviating infertility issues. In vitro fertilisation is one such option whose success is highly depend...

BACKGROUND: The automatic segmentation of kidneys in medical images is not a trivial task when the subjects undergoing the medical examination are affected by Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). Several works dealing with the segmen...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a deep learning algorithm for automated detection of small F-FDG-avid pulmonary nodules in PET scans, and to assess whether novel block sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM) reco...
Cancer is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases. Out of all types of cancer, brain cancer has the lowest survival rate. Brain tumors can have different types depending on their shape, texture, and location. Proper diagnosis ...
