A Localisation-Segmentation Approach for Multi-label Annotation of Lumbar Vertebrae using Deep Nets

Anjany Sekuboyina, Alexander Valentinitsch, Jan S. Kirschke +1

Multi-class segmentation of vertebrae is a non-trivial task mainly due to the high correlation in the appearance of adjacent vertebrae. Hence, such a task calls for the considerati…

Labelling Vertebrae with 2D Reformations of Multidetector CT Images: An Adversarial Approach for Incorporating Prior Knowledge of Spine Anatomy

Anjany Sekuboyina, Markus Rempfler, Alexander Valentinitsch +2

Purpose: To use and test a labelling algorithm that operates on two-dimensional (2D) reformations, rather than three-dimensional (3D) data to locate and identify vertebrae. Methods…

Operator-Theoretic Framework for Gradient-Free Federated Learning

Mohit Kumar, Mathias Brucker, Alexander Valentinitsch +4

Federated learning must address heterogeneity, strict communication and computation limits, and privacy while ensuring performance. We propose an operator-theoretic framework that…

Probabilistic Point Cloud Reconstructions for Vertebral Shape Analysis

Anjany Sekuboyina, Markus Rempfler, Alexander Valentinitsch +3

We propose an auto-encoding network architecture for point clouds (PC) capable of extracting shape signatures without supervision. Building on this, we (i) design a loss function c…

Btrfly Net: Vertebrae Labelling with Energy-based Adversarial Learning of Local Spine Prior

Anjany Sekuboyina, Markus Rempfler, Jan Kukačka +4

Robust localisation and identification of vertebrae is essential for automated spine analysis. The contribution of this work to the task is two-fold: (1) Inspired by the human expe…

VerSe: A Vertebrae Labelling and Segmentation Benchmark for Multi-detector CT Images

Anjany Sekuboyina, Malek E. Husseini, Amirhossein Bayat +66

Vertebral labelling and segmentation are two fundamental tasks in an automated spine processing pipeline. Reliable and accurate processing of spine images is expected to benefit cl…
