Accurate segmentation of brain tumors from MRI scans is a critical task in medical image analysis, yet it remains challenging due to the complex and variable nature of tumor shapes and sizes. Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs), while ef...
PURPOSE: Magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) is a useful three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted sequence, but is not a priority in routine brain examinations. We hypothesized that converting 3D MRI localizer (AutoAlign Head) images to MPR...
Biomedical research increasingly relies on three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models and artificial-intelligence-based analysis can potentially facilitate a detailed and accurate feature extraction on a single-cell level. However, this requires for ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Accurate segmentation of the prostate region in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for prostate-related diagnoses. Recent studies have incorporated Transformers into prostate region segmentation to better capture lo...
Scapular morphological attributes show promise as prognostic indicators of retear following rotator cuff repair. Current evaluation techniques using single-slice magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) are, however, prone to error, while more accurate compu...

PURPOSE: This article introduces a novel deep learning approach to substantially improve the accuracy of colon segmentation even with limited data annotation, which enhances the overall effectiveness of the CT colonography pipeline in clinical settin...
BACKGROUND: A comprehensive analysis of the occlusal plane (OP) inclination in predicting anteroposterior mandibular position (APMP) changes is still lacking. This study aimed to analyse the relationships between inclinations of different OPs and APM...

PURPOSE: Lung fissure segmentation on CT images often relies on 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, 3D-CNNs are inefficient for detecting thin structures like the fissures, which make up a tiny fraction of the entire image volume. We pr...
