OnUVS: Online Feature Decoupling Framework for High-Fidelity Ultrasound Video Synthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Ultrasound (US) imaging is indispensable in clinical practice. To diagnose certain diseases, sonographers must observe corresponding dynamic anatomic structures to gather comprehensive information. However, the limited availability of specific US video cases causes teaching difficulties in identifying corresponding diseases, which potentially impacts ...

and Jiang S 2018 Fully automated organ segmentation in male pelvic CT images
Phys. Med. Biol. 63 245015, 2018 Accurate segmentation of prostate and surrounding organs at risk is important for prostate cancer radiotherapy treatment planning. We present a fully automated workflow for male pelvic CT image segmentation using deep learning. The architecture consists of a 2D localization network followed by a 3D segmentation network for volumetric segmentation of ...

Intimate communications within the tumor microenvironment: stromal factors function as an orchestra
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2023 Extensive studies of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in the last decade have reformed the view of cancer as a tumor cell-centric disease. The tumor microenvironment, especially termed the "seed and soil" theory, has emerged as the key determinant in ...

Automatic segmentation method of pelvic floor levator hiatus in ultrasound using a self-normalising neural network [PDF]
, 2017 Segmentation of the levator hiatus in ultrasound allows to extract biometrics which are of importance for pelvic floor disorder assessment. In this work, we present a fully automatic method using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to outline the levator hiatus in a 2D image extracted from a 3D ultrasound volume.
