Promise and challenges of heart chamber segmentation from non-contrast CT scans using contrastive unpaired image translation: a feasibility study
Jing Wang, Tong Yu, Hao-En Lu +5
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and challenges of heart chamber segmentation from non-contrast CT scans using contrastive unpaired image translation and deep learning-based se…
Cross-organ all-in-one parallel compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging
Baoshun Shi, Xin Meng, Shuangni Lv +2
Recent advances in deep learning-based parallel compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging (p-CSMRI) have significantly improved reconstruction quality. However, current p-CSMRI…
LAYER: A Quantitative Explainable AI Framework for Decoding Tissue-Layer Drivers of Myofascial Low Back Pain
Zixue Zeng, Anthony M. Perti, Tong Yu +13
Myofascial pain (MP) is a leading cause of chronic low back pain, yet its tissue-level drivers remain poorly defined and lack reliable image biomarkers. Existing studies focus pred…
Segmentation-Aware Generative Reinforcement Network (GRN) for Tissue Layer Segmentation in 3-D Ultrasound Images for Chronic Low-back Pain (cLBP) Assessment
Zixue Zeng, Xiaoyan Zhao, Matthew Cartier +14
We introduce a novel segmentation-aware joint training framework called generative reinforcement network (GRN) that integrates segmentation loss feedback to optimize both image gen…
GRN+: A Simplified Generative Reinforcement Network for Tissue Layer Analysis in 3D Ultrasound Images for Chronic Low-back Pain
Zixue Zeng, Xiaoyan Zhao, Matthew Cartier +2
3D ultrasound delivers high-resolution, real-time images of soft tissues, which is essential for pain research. However, manually distinguishing various tissues for quantitative an…
InterSliceBoost: Identifying Tissue Layers in Three-dimensional Ultrasound Images for Chronic Lower Back Pain (cLBP) Assessment
Zixue Zeng, Matthew Cartier, Xiaoyan Zhao +12
Available studies on chronic lower back pain (cLBP) typically focus on one or a few specific tissues rather than conducting a comprehensive layer-by-layer analysis. Since three-dim…
