UNet++: A Novel Architecture for Medical Imaging Segmentation
Fully convolutional networks (FCN) and variants of U-Net are the state-of-the-art models for medical image segmentation. However, these models have limitations, namely 1. their optimal depth is apriori unknown, requiring extensive architecture search or inefficient ensemble of models and 2. their skip connections impose a restrictive fusion scheme,...

Computer-Aided Detection & Visualization of Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cardiovascular emergency. Mortality rates approaching 30% are common with undiagnosed PE, but they fall to 2% with early diagnosis and treatment, thus, quick and accurate diagnosis is critical. Suspected PE is typically diagnosed with CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA), but this technique has issues with interpretation...

Fixed-Point Generative Adversarial Networks
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are revolutionizing image-to-image translation, which is attractive to researchers in the medical imaging community. While using GANs to reveal diseased regions in a medical image is appealing, it requires a GAN to identify a minimal subset of target pixels for domain translation, also known as fixed-point translation,...

Convolutional Neural Networks for Medical Image Segmentation
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are useful in a variety of applications ranging from computer vision to signal processing. Segmenting organs and lesions in medical images for computer aided diagnoses (CAD) is an area in which CNNs are becoming the state-of-the-art. In particular, U-Net and other U-Net-like CNN architectures have shown great promise...

Automated Polyp Detection Systems
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States and fourth worldwide. Colorectal cancer often develops from precancerous polyps which, when found early, may be easily and safely removed. Colorectal polyps are often asymptomatic and are typically detected through routine optical colonoscopy (OC) screening. While there...

Shape-based analysis of right ventricular dysfunction associated with acute pulmonary embolism
Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is the third most common cause of death in the US with at least 600,000 cases occurring annually. APE results from migration of emboli to the lungs and obstruction of pulmonary blood vessels. If detected in early stages of development, the high rate of mortality caused by APE may be reduced significantly. A better...
