OOOE: Only-One-Object-Exists Assumption to Find Very Small Objects in Chest Radiographs [PDF]
The accurate localization of inserted medical tubes and parts of human anatomy is a common problem when analyzing chest radiographs and something deep neural networks could potentially automate. However, many foreign objects like tubes and various anatomical structures are small in comparison to the entire chest X-ray, which leads to severely ...

Tubular Shape Aware Data Generation for Semantic Segmentation in Medical Imaging [PDF]
Chest X-ray is one of the most widespread examinations of the human body. In interventional radiology, its use is frequently associated with the need to visualize various tube-like objects, such as puncture needles, guiding sheaths, wires, and catheters. Detection and precise localization of these tube-like objects in the X-ray images is, therefore, of
