Automatic Segmentation, Localization, and Identification of Vertebrae in 3D CT Images Using Cascaded Convolutional Neural Networks
Naoto Masuzawa, Yoshiro Kitamura, Keigo Nakamura +2
This paper presents a method for automatic segmentation, localization, and identification of vertebrae in arbitrary 3D CT images. Many previous works do not perform the three tasks…
TopNet: Topology Preserving Metric Learning for Vessel Tree Reconstruction and Labelling
Deepak Keshwani, Yoshiro Kitamura, Satoshi Ihara +2
Reconstructing Portal Vein and Hepatic Vein trees from contrast enhanced abdominal CT scans is a prerequisite for preoperative liver surgery simulation. Existing deep learning base…
Virtual Thin Slice: 3D Conditional GAN-based Super-resolution for CT Slice Interval
Akira Kudo, Yoshiro Kitamura, Yuanzhong Li +2
Many CT slice images are stored with large slice intervals to reduce storage size in clinical practice. This leads to low resolution perpendicular to the slice images (i.e., z-axis…
Synthesizing Diverse Lung Nodules Wherever Massively: 3D Multi-Conditional GAN-based CT Image Augmentation for Object Detection
Changhee Han, Yoshiro Kitamura, Akira Kudo +6
Accurate Computer-Assisted Diagnosis, relying on large-scale annotated pathological images, can alleviate the risk of overlooking the diagnosis. Unfortunately, in medical imaging,…
