Fetal Ultrasound Image Segmentation for Measuring Biometric Parameters Using Multi-Task Deep Learning.

Ultrasound imaging is a standard examination during pregnancy that can be used for measuring specific biometric parameters towards prenatal diagnosis and estimating gestational age. Fetal head circumference (HC) is one of the significant factors to determine the fetus growth and health. In this paper, a multi-task deep convolutional neural network is proposed for automatic segmentation and estimation of HC ellipse by minimizing a compound cost function composed of segmentation dice score and MSE of ellipse parameters.

Liver Segmentation in Abdominal CT Images Using Probabilistic Atlas and Adaptive 3D Region Growing.

Automatic liver segmentation plays a vital role in computer-aided diagnosis or treatment. Manual segmentation of organs is a tedious and challenging task and is prone to human errors. In this paper, we propose innovative pre-processing and adaptive 3D region growing methods with subject-specific conditions.

Gland Segmentation in Histopathology Images Using Deep Networks and Handcrafted Features.

Histopathology images contain essential information for medical diagnosis and prognosis of cancerous disease. Segmentation of glands in histopathology images is a primary step for analysis and diagnosis of an unhealthy patient. Due to the widespread application and the great success of deep neural networks in intelligent medical diagnosis and histopathology, we propose a modified version of LinkNet for gland segmentation and recognition of malignant cases.

Dense pooling layers in fully convolutional network for skin lesion segmentation.

One of the essential tasks in medical image analysis is segmentation and accurate detection of borders. Lesion segmentation in skin images is an essential step in the computerized detection of skin cancer. However, many of the state-of-the-art segmentation methods have deficiencies in their border detection phase.

Classification of Informative Frames in Colonoscopy Videos Using Convolutional Neural Networks with Binarized Weights.

Colorectal cancer is one of the common cancers in the United States. Polyps are one of the major causes of colonic cancer, and early detection of polyps will increase the chance of cancer treatments. In this paper, we propose a novel classification of informative frames based on a convolutional neural network with binarized weights.
