A major functional role of the nasal cavity is air conditioning of the inspired environmental air to nearly alveolar conditions in order to protect the moist and warm alveolar lining where gas exchange takes place. It is well known that the morphological disparities among nasal passages can change airflow patterns to a great extent. However, this morphological variation effect on air conditioning...
Response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be improved if coronary venous anatomy is fused with information on regional left ventricular (LV) function to guide LV lead placement. We propose a method to register a 3D model of the LV and its corresponding coronary venous tree (reconstructed from biplane X-ray fluoroscopy) for CRT applications. A template coronary venous tree (CVT) centerline,...
Automated segmentation of brain structures from MR images is an important practice in many neuroimage studies. In this paper, we explore the utilization of a multi-view ensemble approach that relies on neural networks (NN) to combine multiple decision maps in achieving accurate hippocampus segmentation. Constructed under a general convolutional NN structure, our Ensemble-Net networks explore different...
We propose a new computer-aided detection system that uses 3D convolutional neural networks (CNN) for detecting lung nodules in low dose computed tomography. The system leverages both a priori knowledge about lung nodules and confounding anatomical structures and data-driven machine-learned features and classifier. Specifically, we generate nodule candidates using a local geometric-model-based filter...
We report an automated method for characterization of microvessel morphology in micrographs of brain tissue sections to enable the facile, quantitative analysis of vascular differences across large datasets consisting of hundreds of images with thousands of blood vessel objects. Our objective is to show that virtual 3D parametric models of vasculature are adequately capable of representing the morphology...
Prostate Cancer (PCa) is highly prevalent and is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is robust in detecting PCa. We developed a weakly supervised computer-aided detection (CAD) system that uses biopsy points to learn to identify PCa on mpMRI. Our CAD system, which is based on a deep convolutional neural network architecture, yielded an area under...
The existence of benchmark datasets is essential to objectively evaluate various image analysis methods. Nevertheless, manual annotations of fluorescence microscopy image data are very laborious and not often practicable, especially in the case of 3D+t experiments. In this work, we propose a simulation system capable of generating 3D time-lapse sequences of single motile cells with filopodial protrusions,...
In this paper, we present a novel deep learning model termed Deep Autoencoding-Classification Network (DACN) for HEp-2 cell classification. The DACN consists of an autoencoder and a normal classification convolutional neural network (CNN), while the two architectures shares the same encoding pipeline. The DACN model is jointly optimized for the classification error and the image reconstruction error...
Surface-based approaches have proven particularly relevant and reliable to study cortical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. However projecting fMRI volumes onto the cortical surface remains a challenging problem. Very few methods have been proposed to solve it and most of them rely on a simple interpolation. We propose here an original surface-based method based on a model representing...
