TopoSculpt: Betti-Steered Topological Sculpting of 3D Fine-grained Tubular Shapes
Minghui Zhang, Yaoyu Liu, Junyang Wu +4
Medical tubular anatomical structures are inherently three-dimensional conduits with lumens, enclosing walls, and complex branching topologies. Accurate reconstruction of their geo…
TopoVST: Toward Topology-fidelitous Vessel Skeleton Tracking
Yaoyu Liu, Minghui Zhang, Junjun He +1
Automatic extraction of vessel skeletons is crucial for many clinical applications. However, achieving topologically faithful delineation of thin vessel skeletons remains highly ch…
TubeMLLM: A Foundation Model for Topology Knowledge Exploration in Vessel-like Anatomy
Yaoyu Liu, Minghui Zhang, Xin You +2
Modeling medical vessel-like anatomy is challenging due to its intricate topology and sensitivity to dataset shifts. Consequently, task-specific models often suffer from topologica…
Shape-aware Sampling Matters in the Modeling of Multi-Class Tubular Structures
Minghui Zhang, Yaoyu Liu, Xin You +2
Accurate multi-class tubular modeling is critical for precise lesion localization and optimal treatment planning. Deep learning methods enable automated shape modeling by prioritiz…
AirMorph: Topology-Preserving Deep Learning for Pulmonary Airway Analysis
Minghui Zhang, Chenyu Li, Fangfang Xie +8
Accurate anatomical labeling and analysis of the pulmonary structure and its surrounding anatomy from thoracic CT is getting increasingly important for understanding the etilogy of…
