'Squeeze & excite' guided few-shot segmentation of volumetric images.

Medical image analysis
Deep neural networks enable highly accurate image segmentation, but require large amounts of manually annotated data for supervised training. Few-shot learning aims to address this shortcoming by learning a new class from a few annotated support exam...

Fully automated analysis for bone scintigraphy with artificial neural network: usefulness of bone scan index (BSI) in breast cancer.

Annals of nuclear medicine
OBJECTIVE: Artificial neural network (ANN) technology has been developed for clinical use to analyze bone scintigraphy with metastatic bone tumors. It has been reported to improve diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility especially in cases of prostat...

Machine learning in whole-body MRI: experiences and challenges from an applied study using multicentre data.

Clinical radiology
Machine learning is now being increasingly employed in radiology to assist with tasks such as automatic lesion detection, segmentation, and characterisation. We are currently involved in an National Institute of Health Research (NIHR)-funded project,...

Simultaneous cosegmentation of tumors in PET-CT images using deep fully convolutional networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To investigate the use and efficiency of 3-D deep learning, fully convolutional networks (DFCN) for simultaneous tumor cosegmentation on dual-modality nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomograp...

A Novel Extension to Fuzzy Connectivity for Body Composition Analysis: Applications in Thigh, Brain, and Whole Body Tissue Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the non-invasive modality of choice for body tissue composition analysis due to its excellent soft-tissue contrast and lack of ionizing radiation. However, quantification of body composition requires an accurate se...

Automated Whole-Body Bone Lesion Detection for Multiple Myeloma on Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT Imaging Using Deep Learning Methods.

Contrast media & molecular imaging
The identification of bone lesions is crucial in the diagnostic assessment of multiple myeloma (MM). Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT can capture the abnormal molecular expression of CXCR-4 in addition to anatomical changes. However, whole-body detection of doze...

Deep reconstruction model for dynamic PET images.

PloS one
Accurate and robust tomographic reconstruction from dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) acquired data is a difficult problem. Conventional methods, such as the maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) algorithm for reconstructing the...

Fully automatic, multiorgan segmentation in normal whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), using classification forests (CFs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and a multi-atlas (MA) approach.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: As part of a program to implement automatic lesion detection methods for whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in oncology, we have developed, evaluated, and compared three algorithms for fully automatic, multiorgan segmentation in hea...

Automated extraction and labelling of the arterial tree from whole-body MRA data.

Medical image analysis
In this work, we present a fully automated algorithm for extraction of the 3D arterial tree and labelling the tree segments from whole-body magnetic resonance angiography (WB-MRA) sequences. The algorithm developed consists of two core parts (i) 3D v...
