In medical image analysis, segmenting pancreatic CT images presents a significant challenge due to the complex anatomy of the pancreas and the generally low contrast of these images. Accurate pancreas segmentation is crucial in clinical scenarios, particularly for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. The U-Net architecture and its variations have achieved significant progress in deep ...Show More
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) allows us to reconstruct the brain white matter (WM) pathways in-vivo. Generating a diffusion tractograph from raw MRI data involves multiple layers of processes. Each set of processes that produces a particular analysis is called a pipeline. An extensive collection of software tools have been developed over the years for each layer of tractograph generation, giving ...Show More
This article provides a comprehensive review of deep learning-based blood vessel segmentation of the brain. Cerebrovascular disease develops when blood arteries in the brain are compromised, resulting in severe brain injuries such as ischemic stroke, brain hemorrhages, and many more. Early detection enables patients to obtain more effective treatment before becoming critically unwell. Due to the s...Show More
Intensity inhomogeneity, hidden details, poor image contrast due to low capturing device quality, limited user experience, and inappropriate environment setting during data acquisition are major issues reported during the image enhancement process. Histogram Equalization (HE) approaches have been commonly deployed to overcome the above-listed problems, apart from improving image contrast. Neverthe...Show More
In the presence of metal implant, it can induce streak artefacts appearance in computed tomography (CT) images that can degrade image quality and lead to misdiagnosis. A comparative study of two different sinogram interpolation methods for metal artefact reduction in CT images is presented. The metal part of the sinogram was determined and removed by thresholding technique. The missing part of the...Show More
This paper presents a new segmentation method that integrates a wavelet based feature, which is able to enhance the dissimilarity between regions with low variations in intensity. This feature is integrated to formulate a new level set based active contour model that addresses the segmentation of regions with highly similar intensities in medical images, which do not have clear boundaries between ...Show More
Image segmentation is the most essential and crucial process in order to facilitate the delineation, characterization and visualization of structures of interests in medical images. In recent years, various methods of medical image segmentation have been employed depending on the type of tissues, anatomy of object of interest and imaging modality being used. In this paper, a novel problem specific...Show More
