Extensive research has been devoted to the segmentation of the coronary artery. However, owing to its complex anatomical structure, it is extremely challenging to automatically segment the coronary artery from 3D coronary computed tomography angiogra...
Recent advances in fetal imaging open the door to enhanced detection of fetal disorders and computer-assisted surgical planning. However, precise segmentation of womb's tissues is challenging due to motion artifacts caused by fetal movements and mate...
BACKGROUND: Studying structural and functional morphology of small organisms such as monogenean, is difficult due to the lack of visualization in three dimensions. One possible way to resolve this visualization issue is to create digital 3D models wh...

Background fluorescence, especially when it exhibits undesired spatial features, is a primary factor for reduced image quality in optical microscopy. Structured background is particularly detrimental when analyzing single-molecule images for 3-dimens...
The fusion of multiple segmentations aims to improve their accuracy in order to make them exploitable. However, conflicts may appear. In this paper, two conflict-management models are proposed for the fusion of complementary segmentations. This confl...
