Segmentation of liver tumors plays an important role in the choice of therapeutic strategies for liver disease and treatment monitoring. In this paper, we generalize the process of a level set with a novel algorithm of dynamic regulation to energy fu...
As a non-invasive imaging modality, optical coherence tomography (OCT) can provide micrometer-resolution 3D images of retinal structures. These images can help reveal disease-related alterations below the surface of the retina, such as the presence o...

PURPOSE: In the context of minimally invasive neurosurgery, steerable needles such as the one developed within the Horizon2020-funded EDEN2020 project (Frasson et al. in Proc Inst Mech Eng Part H J Eng Med 224(6):775-88, 2010. https://doi.org/10.1243...
This paper presents a new approach to automatic three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric annotation for diagnosis, surgical planning, and treatment evaluation. There has long been considerable demand for automated cephalometric landmarking, since manual ...
PURPOSE: Reliable automated segmentation of the prostate is indispensable for image-guided prostate interventions. However, the segmentation task is challenging due to inhomogeneous intensity distributions, variation in prostate anatomy, among other ...

Automatic diagnosing lung cancer from computed tomography scans involves two steps: detect all suspicious lesions (pulmonary nodules) and evaluate the whole-lung/pulmonary malignancy. Currently, there are many studies about the first step, but few ab...
Automatic detection of anatomical landmarks is an important step for a wide range of applications in medical image analysis. Manual annotation of landmarks is a tedious task and prone to observer errors. In this paper, we evaluate novel deep reinforc...
Weakly-supervised learning based on, e.g., partially labelled images or image-tags, is currently attracting significant attention in CNN segmentation as it can mitigate the need for full and laborious pixel/voxel annotations. Enforcing high-order (gl...
