Image translation for medical image generation: Ischemic stroke lesion segmentation

چکیده

Deep learning based disease detection and segmentation algorithms promise to improve many clinical processes. However, such require vast amounts of annotated training data, which are typically not available in the medical context due data privacy, legal obstructions, non-uniform acquisition protocols. Synthetic databases with pathologies could provide required data. We demonstrate example ischemic stroke that an improvement lesion is feasible using deep augmentation. To this end, we train different image-to-image translation models synthesize magnetic resonance images brain volumes without lesions from semantic maps. In addition, a generative adversarial network generate synthetic masks. Subsequently, combine these two components build large database images. The performance various evaluated U-Net trained segment on test set. report Dice score 72.8% [70.8±1.0%] for model best performance, outperforms alone 67.3% [63.2±1.9%], close human inter-reader 76.9%. Moreover, show small only 10 or 50 cases, augmentation yields significant compared setting where no used. our knowledge, presents first comparative analysis translation, application stroke.

Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation

We present a novel fully-automated generative ischemic stroke lesion segmentation method that can be applied to individual patient images without need for a training data set. An Expectation Maximizationapproach is used for estimating intensity models for both normal and pathological tissue. The segmentation is represented by a level-set that is iteratively updated to label voxels as either nor...

Partial Differential Equations applied to Medical Image ‎Segmentation

‎This paper presents an application of partial differential equations(PDEs) for the segmentation of abdominal and thoracic aortic in CTA datasets. An important challenge in reliably detecting aortic is the need to overcome problems associated with intensity inhomogeneities. Level sets are part of an important class of methods that utilize partial differential equations (PDEs) and have been exte...

Medical Image Segmentation

Image data is of immense practical importance in medical informatics. Medical images, such as Computed Axial Tomography (CAT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, and X-Ray, in standard DICOM formats are often stored in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and linked with other clinical information in EHR clinical management systems. Research efforts have been devoted to...

Medical Image Segmentation Using Descriptive Image Features

Segmentation of medical images is an important component for diagnosis and treatment of diseases using medical imaging technologies. However, automated accurate medical image segmentation is still a challenge due to the difficulties in finding a robust feature descriptor to describe the object boundaries in medical images. In this paper, a new normal vector feature profile (NVFP) is proposed to...

Correction: Classifiers for Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation: A Comparison Study

There is an error in the Conclusions section of the manuscript. The entire Conclusions section was not included. The Conclusions section should read: In this work, nine different classifiers were used for ischemic stroke lesion segmentation from brain MRI images and evaluated using different ground truth sets and scenarios. Based on the results of this study, it seems justified to recommend RDF...
