Sequential whole-body 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scans are regarded as the imaging modality of choice for the assessment of treatment response in the lymphomas because they detect treatment response when there may not be changes on anatomical imaging. Any computerized analysis of lymphomas in whole-body PET requires automatic segmentation of the studies so that sites of disease can be quantitatively monitored over time. State-of-the-art PET image segmentation methods are based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) given their ability to leverage annotated datasets to derive high-level features about the disease process. Such methods, however, focus on PET images from a single time-point and discard information from other scans or are targeted towards specific organs and cannot cater for the multiple structures in whole-body PET images. In this study, we propose a spatio-temporal dual-stream neural network (ST-DSNN) to segment sequential whole-body PET scans. Our ST-DSNN learns and accumulates image features from the PET images done over time. The accumulated image features are used to enhance the organs / structures that are consistent over time to allow easier identification of sites of active lymphoma. Our results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art PET image segmentation methods.
Colonoscopy is the gold standard for examination and detection of colorectal polyps. Localization and delineation of polyps can play a vital role in treatment (e.g., surgical planning) and prognostic decision making. Polyp segmentation can provide de
Building robust deep learning-based models requires diverse training data, ideally from several sources. However, these datasets cannot be combined easily because of patient privacy concerns or regulatory hurdles, especially if medical data is involv
We propose HookNet, a semantic segmentation model for histopathology whole-slide images, which combines context and details via multiple branches of encoder-decoder convolutional neural networks. Concentricpatches at multiple resolutions with differe
The Medico: Multimedia Task 2020 focuses on developing an efficient and accurate computer-aided diagnosis system for automatic segmentation [3]. We participate in task 1, Polyps segmentation task, which is to develop algorithms for segmenting polyps
Semantic image segmentation is the process of labeling each pixel of an image with its corresponding class. An encoder-decoder based approach, like U-Net and its variants, is a popular strategy for solving medical image segmentation tasks. To improve
