Bone mineral density estimation from a plain X-ray image by learning decomposition into projections of bone-segmented computed tomography
Yi Gu, Yoshito Otake, Keisuke Uemura +6
Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone disease that causes fractures in fragile bones, leading to a decline in daily living activities. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantit…
Hybrid Representation-Enhanced Sampling for Bayesian Active Learning in Musculoskeletal Segmentation of Lower Extremities
Ganping Li, Yoshito Otake, Mazen Soufi +7
Purpose: Manual annotations for training deep learning (DL) models in auto-segmentation are time-intensive. This study introduces a hybrid representation-enhanced sampling strategy…
MSKdeX: Musculoskeletal (MSK) decomposition from an X-ray image for fine-grained estimation of lean muscle mass and muscle volume
Yi Gu, Yoshito Otake, Keisuke Uemura +7
Musculoskeletal diseases such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis are major obstacles to health during aging. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and computed tomography (CT…
BMD-GAN: Bone mineral density estimation using x-ray image decomposition into projections of bone-segmented quantitative computed tomography using hierarchical learning
Yi Gu, Yoshito Otake, Keisuke Uemura +4
We propose a method for estimating the bone mineral density (BMD) from a plain x-ray image. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) provid…
Automated segmentation of an intensity calibration phantom in clinical CT images using a convolutional neural network
Keisuke Uemura, Yoshito Otake, Masaki Takao +4
Purpose: To apply a convolutional neural network (CNN) to develop a system that segments intensity calibration phantom regions in computed tomography (CT) images, and to test the s…
Estimation of Pelvic Sagittal Inclination from Anteroposterior Radiograph Using Convolutional Neural Networks: Proof-of-Concept Study
Ata Jodeiri, Yoshito Otake, Reza A. Zoroofi +5
Alignment of the bones in standing position provides useful information in surgical planning. In total hip arthroplasty (THA), pelvic sagittal inclination (PSI) angle in the standi…
Region-based Convolution Neural Network Approach for Accurate Segmentation of Pelvic Radiograph
Ata Jodeiri, Reza A. Zoroofi, Yuta Hiasa +4
With the increasing usage of radiograph images as a most common medical imaging system for diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical studies, it is increasingly becoming a vital…
Automated Muscle Segmentation from Clinical CT using Bayesian U-Net for Personalized Musculoskeletal Modeling
Yuta Hiasa, Yoshito Otake, Masaki Takao +3
We propose a method for automatic segmentation of individual muscles from a clinical CT. The method uses Bayesian convolutional neural networks with the U-Net architecture, using M…
Computational Anatomy for Multi-Organ Analysis in Medical Imaging: A Review
Juan J. Cerrolaza, Mirella Lopez-Picazo, Ludovic Humbert +4
The medical image analysis field has traditionally been focused on the development of organ-, and disease-specific methods. Recently, the interest in the development of more 20 com…
Dynamic Block Matching to assess the longitudinal component of the dense motion field of the carotid artery wall in B-mode ultrasound sequences -- Association with coronary artery disease
Guillaume Zahnd, Kozue Saito, Kazuyuki Nagatsuka +2
Purpose: The motion of the common carotid artery tissue layers along the vessel axis during the cardiac cycle, observed in ultrasound imaging, is associated with the presence of es…
Cross-modality image synthesis from unpaired data using CycleGAN: Effects of gradient consistency loss and training data size
Yuta Hiasa, Yoshito Otake, Masaki Takao +5
CT is commonly used in orthopedic procedures. MRI is used along with CT to identify muscle structures and diagnose osteonecrosis due to its superior soft tissue contrast. However,…
