Dual-energy CT exploits the different attenuation characteristics of substances under different energy X-rays and collects high- and low-energy data from the same area to differentiate and quantify specific substances, which is now widely used in clinical diagnosis, disease monitoring, and other fie…
"Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is advantageous in perceiving hierarchical changes in the esophageal tract wall for diagnosing submucosal tumors. However, the lesions often disrupt the structural integrity and fine-grained texture information of the esophageal layer, impeding the accurate diagnosis. Mo…
Learning inter-image similarity is crucial for 3D medical images self-supervised pre-training, due to their sharing of numerous same semantic regions. However, the lack of the semantic prior in metrics and the semantic-independent variation in 3D medical images make it challenging to get a reliable…
Graph contrastive learning has gained popularity due to its success in self-supervised graph representation learning. Augmented views in contrastive learning greatly determine the quality of the learned representations. Handcrafted data augmentations in previous work require tedious trial-and- error…
The nature of thick-slice scanning causes severe inter-slice discontinuities of 3D medical images, and the vanilla 2D/3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) fail to represent sparse inter-slice information and dense intra-slice information in a balanced way, leading to severe underfitting to inter-…
Deep learning-based medical image registration and segmentation joint models utilize the complementarity (augmentation data or weakly supervised data from registration, region constraints from segmentation) to bring mutual improvement in complex scene and few-shot situation. However, further adoptio…
