Nucleus detection and classification (NDC) in histopathology analysis is a fundamental task that underpins a wide range of high-level pathology applications. However, existing methods heavily rely on labor-intensive nucleus-level annotations and struggle to fully exploit large-scale unlabeled data f
Histopathology plays a critical role in medical diagnostics, with whole slide images (WSIs) offering valuable insights that directly influence clinical decision-making. However, the large size and complexity of WSIs may pose significant challenges for deep learning models, in both computational effi…
Accurate segmentation of tubular structures in medical images, such as vessels and airway trees, is crucial for computer-aided diagnosis, radiotherapy, and surgical planning. However, significant challenges exist in algorithm design when faced with diverse sizes, complex topologies, and (often) inco…
Segment anything model (SAM) demonstrates strong generalization ability on natural image segmentation. However, its direct adaptation in medical image segmentation tasks shows significant performance drops. It also requires an excessive number of prompt points to obtain a reasonable accuracy. Althou…
Establishing dense anatomical correspondence across distinct imaging modalities is a foundational yet challenging procedure for numerous medical image analysis studies and image-guided radiotherapy. Existing multi-modality image registration algorithms rely on statistical-based similarity measures o…
Deep learning empowers the mainstream medical image segmentation methods. Nevertheless, current deep segmentation approaches are not capable of efficiently and effectively adapting and updating the trained models when new segmentation classes are incrementally added. In the real clinical environment…
3D delineation of anatomical structures is a cardinal goal in medical imaging analysis. Prior to deep learning, statistical shape models (SSMs) that imposed anatomical constraints and produced high quality surfaces were a core technology. Today’s fully-convolutional networks (FCNs), while dominant,…
Segmentation, and Registration System for 3D Multi-Modal Image Alignment of Large-scale Pathological CT Scans","Multi-modal image registration is a challenging problem that is also an important clinical task for many real applications and scenarios. As a first step in analysis, deformable registrati…
OAR segmentation is a critical step in radiotherapy of head and neck (H&N) cancer, where inconsistencies across radiation oncologists and prohibitive labor costs motivate automated approaches. However, leading methods using standard fully convolutional network workflows that are challenged when the…
