A Practical Framework for ROI Detection in Medical Images -- a case study for hip detection in anteroposterior pelvic radiographs [PDF]
Purpose Automated detection of region of interest (ROI) is a critical step for many medical image applications such as heart ROIs detection in perfusion MRI images, lung boundary detection in chest X-rays, and femoral head detection in pelvic radiographs. Thus, we proposed a practical framework of ROIs detection in medical images, with a case study for

Cross-modality image synthesis from unpaired data using CycleGAN: Effects of gradient consistency loss and training data size [PDF]
CT is commonly used in orthopedic procedures. MRI is used along with CT to identify muscle structures and diagnose osteonecrosis due to its superior soft tissue contrast. However, MRI has poor contrast for bone structures. Clearly, it would be helpful if a corresponding CT were available, as bone boundaries are more clearly seen and CT has standardized
