PURPOSE: Quantification of carotid plaques has been shown to be important for assessing as well as monitoring the progression and regression of carotid atherosclerosis. Various metrics have been proposed and methods of measurements ranging from manua...
This study presents a platform for ex-vivo detection of cancer nodules, addressing automation of medical diagnoses in surgery and associated histological analyses. The proposed approach takes advantage of the property of cancer to alter the mechanica...
PURPOSE: Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is a versatile and real-time imaging modality that is commonly used in image-guided prostate cancer interventions (e.g., biopsy and brachytherapy). Accurate segmentation of the prostate is key to biopsy needle p...
Current deep supervised learning methods typically require large amounts of labeled data for training. Since there is a significant cost associated with clinical data acquisition and labeling, medical datasets used for training these models are relat...
Automatic prostate segmentation in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images is of essential importance for image-guided prostate interventions and treatment planning. However, developing such automatic solutions remains very challenging due to the missin...
