SynergyNet: Bridging the Gap between Discrete and Continuous Representations for Precise Medical Image Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In recent years, continuous latent space (CLS) and discrete latent space (DLS) deep learning models have been proposed for medical image analysis for improved performance. However, these models encounter distinct challenges. CLS models capture intricate details but often lack interpretability in terms of structural representation and robustness due to ...

Building medical image classifiers with very limited data using segmentation networks [PDF]
Medical Image Analysis 49 (2018) 105-116, 2018 Deep learning has shown promising results in medical image analysis, however, the lack of very large annotated datasets confines its full potential. Although transfer learning with ImageNet pre-trained classification models can alleviate the problem, constrained image sizes and model complexities can lead to unnecessary increase in computational cost ...

Unsupervised Multi-Modality Registration Network based on Spatially Encoded Gradient Information [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Multi-modality medical images can provide relevant or complementary information for a target (organ, tumor or tissue). Registering multi-modality images to a common space can fuse these comprehensive information, and bring convenience for clinical application.
