Delineation of the left ventricular cavity, myocardium, and right ventricle from cardiac magnetic resonance images (multi-slice 2-D cine MRI) is a common clinical task to establish diagnosis. The automation corresponding tasks has thus been subject intense research over past decades. In this paper, we introduce "Automatic Cardiac Diagnosis Challenge" dataset (ACDC), largest publicly available fully annotated for purpose MRI (CMR) assessment. contains data 150 multi-equipments CMRI recordings...
Identifying and interpreting fetal standard scan planes during 2-D ultrasound mid-pregnancy examinations are highly complex tasks, which require years of training. Apart from guiding the probe to correct location, it can be equally difficult for a non-expert identify relevant structures within image. Automatic image processing provide tools help experienced as well inexperienced operators with these tasks. In this paper, we propose novel method based on convolutional neural networks,...
Algorithms for Magnetic Resonance (MR) image reconstruction from undersampled measurements exploit prior information to compensate missing k-space data. Deep learning (DL) provides a powerful framework extracting such existing datasets, through learning, and then using it reconstruction. Leveraging this, recent methods employed DL learn mappings fully sampled images paired including corresponding images, integrating knowledge implicitly. In this article, we propose an alternative approach...
Attributing the pixels of an input image to a certain category is important and well-studied problem in computer vision, with applications ranging from weakly supervised localisation understanding hidden effects data. In recent years, approaches based on interpreting previously trained neural network classifier have become de facto state-of-the-art are commonly used medical as well natural datasets. this paper, we discuss limitation these which may lead only subset specific features being...
Supervised learning-based segmentation methods typically require a large number of annotated training data to generalize well at test time. In medical applications, curating such datasets is not favourable option because acquiring samples from experts time-consuming and expensive. Consequently, numerous have been proposed in the literature for learning with limited examples. Unfortunately, approaches yet yielded significant gains over random augmentation image segmentation, where...
Measurement of head biometrics from fetal ultrasonography images is key importance in monitoring the healthy development fetuses. However, accurate measurement relevant anatomical structures subject to large inter-observer variability clinic. To address this issue, an automated method utilizing Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) proposed determine measurements circumference (HC) and biparietal diameter (BPD). An FCN was trained on approximately 2000 2D ultrasound with annotations provided by...
Abstract Objective Segmentation of thigh muscle and adipose tissue is important for the understanding musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoarthritis. Therefore, purpose this work (a) to evaluate whether a fully automated approach provides accurate segmentation muscles cross-sectional areas (CSA) compared with manual (b) validity method based on previous clinical study. Materials methods The U-Net architecture trained 250 manually segmented thighs from Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)....
Tissue characterisation with CMR parametric mapping has the potential to detect and quantify both focal diffuse alterations in myocardial structure not assessable by late gadolinium enhancement.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers strong soft tissue contrast but suffers from long acquisition times and requires tedious annotation radiologists. Traditionally, these challenges have been addressed separately with reconstruction image analysis algorithms. To see if performance could be improved by treating both as end-to-end, we hosted the K2S challenge, in which challenge participants segmented knee bones cartilage 8× undersampled k-space. We curated 300-patient dataset of multicoil...
The acquisition of a Magnetic Resonance (MR) scan usually takes longer than subjects can remain still. Movement the subject such as bulk patient motion or respiratory degrades image quality and its diagnostic value by producing artefacts like ghosting, blurring, smearing. This work focuses on effect reconstructed slices detection in reconstruction using supervised learning approach based random decision forests. Both effects occurring at various time points head scans cardiac are studied....

Abstract While the field of medical image analysis has undergone a transformative shift with integration machine learning techniques, main challenge these techniques is often scarcity large, diverse, and well-annotated datasets. Medical images vary in format, size, other parameters therefore require extensive preprocessing standardization, for usage learning. Addressing challenges, we introduce Imaging Meta-Dataset (MedIMeta), novel multi-domain, multi-task meta-dataset. MedIMeta contains 19...
