In this paper, we propose and validate a deep learning framework that incorporates both multi-atlas registration and level-set for segmenting pancreas from CT volume images. The proposed segmentation pipeline consists of three stages, namely coarse, ...
PURPOSE: Volumetric pancreas segmentation can be used in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases, the research about diabetes and surgical planning. Since manual delineation is time-consuming and laborious, we develop a deep learning-based framework for...
OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is challenging. Sonographic and cross-sectional imaging findings of AIP closely mimic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and techniques for tissue sampling of AIP are suboptimal. These li...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of trained technologists vis-à-vis radiologists for volumetric pancreas segmentation and to assess the impact of supplementary training on their performance.
STUDY AIM: To develop and apply a natural language processing algorithm for characterization of patients diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis in a diverse integrated U.S. healthcare system.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: EUS is considered one of the most sensitive modalities for pancreatic cancer detection, but it is highly operator-dependent and the learning curve is steep. In this study, we constructed a system named BP MASTER (pancreaticobilia...

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a robot-guided irreversible electroporation (IRE) ablation system for the treatment of pancreatic head carcinoma.
Optical tissue transparency permits scalable cellular and molecular investigation of complex tissues in 3D. Adult human organs are particularly challenging to render transparent because of the accumulation of dense and sturdy molecules in decades-age...
Pancreas segmentation is a challenging task in medical image analysis especially for the patients with pancreatic cancer. First, the images often have poor contrast and blurred boundaries. Second, there exist large variations in gray scale, texture, ...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula remains an unsolved challenge after pancreatoduodenectomy. Important in this regard is the presence of a soft pancreatic texture which is a major risk factor. Advances in machine learning and texture analy...
