Recently, dense connections have attracted substantial attention in computer vision because they facilitate gradient flow and implicit deep supervision during training. Particularly, DenseNet that connects each layer to every other a feed-forward fashion has shown impressive performances natural image classification tasks. We propose HyperDenseNet, 3-D fully convolutional neural network extends the definition of connectivity multi-modal segmentation problems. Each imaging modality path,...
Retinal swelling due to the accumulation of fluid is associated with most vision-threatening retinal diseases. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) current standard care in assessing presence and quantity image-guided treatment management. Deep learning methods have made their impact across medical imaging, many OCT analysis been proposed. However, it currently not clear how successful they are interpreting on OCT, which lack standardized benchmarks. To address this, we organized a challenge...
Automated and accurate segmentation of cystoid structures in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is interest the early detection retinal diseases. It is, however, a challenging task.

Segmentation of retinal layers from Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) volumes is a fundamental problem for any computer aided diagnostic algorithm development. This requires preprocessing steps such as denoising, region interest extraction, flattening and edge detection all which involve separate parameter tuning. In this paper, we explore deep learning techniques to automate these handle the presence/absence pathologies. A model proposed consisting combination Convolutional Neural Network...

Brain surface analysis is essential to neuroscience, however, the complex geometry of brain cortex hinders computational methods for this task. The difficulty arises from a discrepancy between 3D imaging data, which represented in Euclidean space, and non-Euclidean highly-convoluted surface. Recent advances machine learning have enabled use neural networks spaces. These facilitate yet pooling strategies often remain constrained single fixed-graph. This paper proposes new learnable graph...
Abstract The emerging field of geometric deep learning extends the application convolutional neural networks to irregular domains such as graphs, meshes and surfaces. Several recent studies have explored potential for using these techniques analyse segment cortical surface. However, there has been no comprehensive comparison approaches one another, nor existing Euclidean methods, date. This paper benchmarks a collection traditional models on phenotype prediction segmentation sphericalised...
Surface-based analysis of the cerebral cortex is ubiquitous in human neuroimaging with MRI. It crucial for cortical registration, parcellation, and thickness estimation. Traditionally, these analyses require high-resolution, isotropic scans good gray-white matter contrast, typically a 1mm T1-weighted scan. This excludes most clinical MRI scans, which are often anisotropic lack necessary T1 contrast. To enable large-scale studies using vast data, we introduce recon-all-clinical, novel method...

The analysis of the brain surface modeled as a graph mesh is challenging task. Conventional deep learning approaches often rely on data lying in Euclidean space. As an extension to irregular graphs, convolution operations are defined Fourier or spectral domain. This domain obtained by decomposing Laplacian, which captures relevant shape information. However, decomposition across different graphs causes inconsistencies between eigenvectors individual domains, causing algorithm fail. Current...
Synthetic data have emerged as an attractive option for developing machine-learning methods in human neuroimaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-a modality where image contrast depends enormously on acquisition hardware and parameters. This retrospective paper reviews a family of recently proposed methods, based synthetic data, generalizable machine learning brain MRI analysis. Central to this framework is the concept domain randomization, which involves training neural...
A simultaneous segmentation and registration model is proposed for functional MR (fMR) image alignment that significant minimizing motion artifacts on fMRI data analysis. Due to T/sub 2/* weighted signal loss decreased resolution, in fMR images, the images can't be aligned reliably by only using information.

Neuronal cell bodies mostly reside in the cerebral cortex. The study of this thin and highly convoluted surface is essential for understanding how brain works. analysis data is, however, challenging due to high variability cortical geometry.
