Effect of latent space distribution on the segmentation of images with multiple annotations

1 code implementation26 Apr 2023 Ishaan Bhat, Josien P. W. Pluim, Max A. Viergever, Hugo J. Kuijf

We propose the Generalized Probabilistic U-Net, which extends the Probabilistic U-Net by allowing more general forms of the Gaussian distribution as the latent space distribution that can better approximate the uncertainty in the reference segmentations.

Influence of uncertainty estimation techniques on false-positive reduction in liver lesion detection

1 code implementation22 Jun 2022 Ishaan Bhat, Josien P. W. Pluim, Max A. Viergever, Hugo J. Kuijf

We study the role played by features computed from neural network uncertainty estimates and shape-based features computed from binary predictions in reducing false positives in liver lesion detection by developing a classification-based post-processing step for different uncertainty estimation methods.

Deep Learning-Based Regression and Classification for Automatic Landmark Localization in Medical Images

no code implementations10 Jul 2020 Julia M. H. Noothout, Bob D. de Vos, Jelmer M. Wolterink, Elbrich M. Postma, Paul A. M. Smeets, Richard A. P. Takx, Tim Leiner, Max A. Viergever, Ivana Išgum

Global landmark locations are obtained by averaging the predicted displacement vectors, where the contribution of each displacement vector is weighted by the posterior classification probability of the patch that it is pointing from.

Combined analysis of coronary arteries and the left ventricular myocardium in cardiac CT angiography for detection of patients with functionally significant stenosis

no code implementations10 Nov 2019 Majd Zreik, Tim Leiner, Nadieh Khalili, Robbert W. van Hamersvelt, Jelmer M. Wolterink, Michiel Voskuil, Max A. Viergever, Ivana Išgum

We combine our previous works for the analysis of the complete coronary artery tree and the LV myocardium: Coronary arteries are encoded by two disjoint convolutional autoencoders (CAEs) and the LV myocardium is characterized by a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a CAE.

Liver segmentation and metastases detection in MR images using convolutional neural networks

1 code implementation15 Oct 2019 Mariëlle J. A. Jansen, Hugo J. Kuijf, Maarten Niekel, Wouter B. Veldhuis, Frank J. Wessels, Max A. Viergever, Josien P. W. Pluim

Primary tumors have a high likelihood of developing metastases in the liver and early detection of these metastases is crucial for patient outcome.

1 code implementation arXiv 2019 Samuel St-Jean, Maxime Chamberland, Max A. Viergever, Alexander Leemans

In this work, we propose to address the issue of possible misalignment, which might be present even after resampling, by realigning the representative streamline of each subject in this 1D space with a new method, coined diffusion profile realignment (DPR).
