Calibration of the Mechanical Boundary Conditions for a Patient-Specific Thoracic Aorta Model Including the Heart Motion Effect
Leonardo Geronzi;Aline Bel-Brunon;Antonio Martinez;Michel Rochette;Marco Sensale;Olivier Bouchot;Alain Lalande;Siyu Lin;Pier Paolo Valentini;Marco Evangelos Biancolini
Objective: We propose a procedure for calibrating 4 parameters governing the mechanical boundary conditions (BCs) of a thoracic aorta (TA) model derived from one patient with ascending aortic aneurysm. The BCs reproduce the visco-elastic structural support provided by the soft tissue and the spine and allow for the inclusion of the heart motion effect. Methods: We first segment the TA from magneti...Show More

Cardiac left ventricular (LV) segmentation is a paramount essential step for both diagnosis and treatment of cardiac pathologies such as ischemia, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and myocarditis. However, this segmentation is challenging due to high variability across patients and the potential lack of contrast between structures. In this work, we propose and evaluate a (2.5D) SegU-Net model bas...Show More
Learning With Context Feedback Loop for Robust Medical Image Segmentation
Deep learning has successfully been leveraged for medical image segmentation. It employs convolutional neural networks (CNN) to learn distinctive image features from a defined pixel-wise objective function. However, this approach can lead to less output pixel interdependence producing incomplete and unrealistic segmentation results. In this paper, we present a fully automatic deep learning method ...Show More

Accurate three-dimensional (3D) cardiac segmentation from late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)-MRI plays a critical role in designing a structure of reference for diagnosing many cardiac pathologies such as ischemia, myocarditis and myocardial infarction. This segmentation is however still a non-trivial task, due to the motion artifacts during acquisition, and heterogeneous intensity distributions. I...Show More

Cardiac Segmentation With Strong Anatomical Guarantees
Nathan Painchaud;Youssef Skandarani;Thierry Judge;Olivier Bernard;Alain Lalande;Pierre-Marc Jodoin
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have had unprecedented success in medical imaging and, in particular, in medical image segmentation. However, despite the fact that segmentation results are closer than ever to the inter-expert variability, CNNs are not immune to producing anatomically inaccurate segmentations, even when built upon a shape prior. In this paper, we present a framework for produci...Show More

Raabid Hussain;Alain Lalande;Caroline Guigou;Alexis Bozorg-Grayeli
Cranial base procedures involve manipulation of small, delicate and complex structures in the fields of otology, rhinology, neurosurgery and maxillofacial surgery. Critical nerves and blood vessels are in close proximity of these structures. Augmented reality is an emerging technology that can revolutionize the cranial base procedures by providing supplementary anatomical and navigational informat...Show More
FCA-Net: Adversarial Learning for Skin Lesion Segmentation Based on Multi-Scale Features and Factorized Channel Attention
Vivek Kumar Singh;Mohamed Abdel-Nasser;Hatem A. Rashwan;Farhan Akram;Nidhi Pandey;Alain Lalande;Benoit Presles;Santiago Romani;Domenec Puig
Skin lesion segmentation in dermoscopic images is still a challenge due to the low contrast and fuzzy boundaries of lesions. Moreover, lesions have high similarity with the healthy regions in terms of appearance. In this paper, we propose an accurate skin lesion segmentation model based on a modified conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN). We introduce a new block in the encoder of cGAN...Show More
Convolutional Neural Network With Shape Prior Applied to Cardiac MRI Segmentation
In this paper, we present a novel convolutional neural network architecture to segment images from a series of short-axis cardiac magnetic resonance slices (CMRI). The proposed model is an extension of the U-net that embeds a cardiac shape prior and involves a loss function tailored to the cardiac anatomy. Since the shape prior is computed offline only once, the execution of our model is not limit...Show More

Delineation of the left ventricular cavity, myocardium, and right ventricle from cardiac magnetic resonance images (multi-slice 2-D cine MRI) is a common clinical task to establish diagnosis. The automation of the corresponding tasks has thus been the subject of intense research over the past decades. In this paper, we introduce the “Automatic Cardiac Diagnosis Challenge” dataset (ACDC), the large...Show More

Left-Ventricle Segmentation of SPECT Images of Rats
Pierre-Marc Jodoin;Fredy Pinheiro;Alexandra Oudot;Alain Lalande
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of the heart is helpful to quantify the left-ventricular ejection fraction and study myocardial perfusion scans. However, these evaluations require a 3-D segmentation of the left-ventricular wall on each phase of the cardiac cycle. This paper presents a fast and interactive graph cut method for 3-D segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) o...Show More

In this paper, we consider the estimation of a reference shape from a set of different segmentation results using both active contours and information theory. The reference shape is defined as the minimum of a criterion that benefits from both the mutual information and the joint entropy of the input segmentations and is then called a mutual shape. This energy criterion is here justified using sim...Show More

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is well adapted for early detection of diseases such as aortic aneuryms or dissections. In this paper, we present a new Markovian method which evolves an active contour for 2D, 3D and 4D (3D + time) segmentation. As opposed to other Markovian contour-based methods, our approach considers an implicit contour as the boundary of a 2D region. The regions are modeled vi...Show More

M. Xavier;A. Lalande;P.M. Walker;C. Boichot;A. Cochet;O. Bouchot;E. Steinmetz;L. Legrand;F. Brunotte
Natural evolution of aortic disease is characterized by a diameter increase that can result in aortic dissection or rupture. Currently the evaluation of risk of rupture or dissection is based on the size of the aorta. However, this parameter is not always relevant and it appears necessary to define new parameters.Show More

J.L. Rose;A. Lalande;E. Bourennane;P.M. Walker;O. Bouchot;E. Steinmetz;L. Legrand;Y. Voisin;J.E. Wolf;F. Brunotte
The aortic compliance is defined as the relative change of aortic cross-sectional area divided by the change in arterial pressure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate aortic compliance. A knowledge of the aortic contour is essential to determine the aortic area. To prevent important intra-and inter-observer variability, the aortic contours are detected automatically. This work...Show More

Year: 2003 | Conference Paper |
Magnetic resonance first-pass imaging of a bolus of contrast agent is well adapted to distinguish normal and hypoperfused areas of the myocardium. In most cases, the signal intensity-time curves in user defined regions of interest (ROI) are studied. As image acquisition is ECG-gated, the images are acquired at the same moment in the cardiac cycle, and the basic shape of the heart is similar from o...Show More

This article proposes a technique for tracking moving organs in medical imaging. It can be split into two stages. We first initialize a 1D-triangular mesh on the first image of the sequence. We distinguish different objects of interest by grouping together the triangles that make them up. Afterwards, we deform this mesh on the successive images in order to track each identified object. The trackin...Show More
