Maximizing T2-Only Prostate Cancer Localization from Expected Diffusion Weighted Imaging

Weixi Yi, Yipei Wang, Wen Yan +10

Multiparametric MRI is increasingly recommended as a first-line noninvasive approach to detect and localize prostate cancer, requiring at minimum diffusion-weighted (DWI) and T2-we…

On the Degrees of Freedom of Gridded Control Points in Learning-Based Medical Image Registration

Wen Yan, Qianye Yang, Yipei Wang +5

Many registration problems are ill-posed in homogeneous or noisy regions, and dense voxel-wise decoders can be unnecessarily high-dimensional. A sparse control-point parameterisati…

ProFound: A moderate-sized vision foundation model for multi-task prostate imaging

Yipei Wang, Yinsong Xu, Weixi Yi +11

Many diagnostic and therapeutic clinical tasks for prostate cancer increasingly rely on multi-parametric MRI. Automating these tasks is challenging because they necessitate expert…

Flow Matching-enabled Test-Time Refinement for Unsupervised Cardiac MR Registration

Yunguan Fu, Wenjia Bai, Wen Yan +3

Diffusion-based unsupervised image registration has been explored for cardiac cine MR, but expensive multi-step inference limits practical use. We propose FlowReg, a flow-matching…

Deep EM with Hierarchical Latent Label Modelling for Multi-Site Prostate Lesion Segmentation

Wen Yan, Yipei Wang, Shiqi Huang +5

Label variability is a major challenge for prostate lesion segmentation. In multi-site datasets, annotations often reflect centre-specific contouring protocols, causing segmentatio…

Impact of Clinical Image Quality on Efficient Foundation Model Finetuning

Yucheng Tang, Pawel Rajwa, Alexander Ng +11

Foundation models in medical imaging have shown promising label efficiency, achieving high performance on downstream tasks using only a fraction of the annotated data otherwise req…

Register Anything: Estimating "Corresponding Prompts" for Segment Anything Model

Shiqi Huang, Tingfa Xu, Wen Yan +2

Establishing pixel/voxel-level or region-level correspondences is the core challenge in image registration. The latter, also known as region-based correspondence representation, le…

Tell2Reg: Establishing spatial correspondence between images by the same language prompts

Wen Yan, Qianye Yang, Shiqi Huang +6

Spatial correspondence can be represented by pairs of segmented regions, such that the image registration networks aim to segment corresponding regions rather than predicting displ…

SAMReg: SAM-enabled Image Registration with ROI-based Correspondence

Shiqi Huang, Tingfa Xu, Ziyi Shen +4

This paper describes a new spatial correspondence representation based on paired regions-of-interest (ROIs), for medical image registration. The distinct properties of the proposed…

One registration is worth two segmentations

Shiqi Huang, Tingfa Xu, Ziyi Shen +4

The goal of image registration is to establish spatial correspondence between two or more images, traditionally through dense displacement fields (DDFs) or parametric transformatio…

Weakly supervised localisation of prostate cancer using reinforcement learning for bi-parametric MR images

Martynas Pocius, Wen Yan, Dean C. Barratt +4

In this paper we propose a reinforcement learning based weakly supervised system for localisation. We train a controller function to localise regions of interest within an image by…

Semi-weakly-supervised neural network training for medical image registration

Yiwen Li, Yunguan Fu, Iani J. M. B. Gayo +11

For training registration networks, weak supervision from segmented corresponding regions-of-interest (ROIs) have been proven effective for (a) supplementing unsupervised methods,…

Combiner and HyperCombiner Networks: Rules to Combine Multimodality MR Images for Prostate Cancer Localisation

Wen Yan, Bernard Chiu, Ziyi Shen +8

One of the distinct characteristics in radiologists' reading of multiparametric prostate MR scans, using reporting systems such as PI-RADS v2.1, is to score individual types of MR…

Bi-parametric prostate MR image synthesis using pathology and sequence-conditioned stable diffusion

Shaheer U. Saeed, Tom Syer, Wen Yan +6

We propose an image synthesis mechanism for multi-sequence prostate MR images conditioned on text, to control lesion presence and sequence, as well as to generate paired bi-paramet…

Prototypical few-shot segmentation for cross-institution male pelvic structures with spatial registration

Yiwen Li, Yunguan Fu, Iani Gayo +12

The prowess that makes few-shot learning desirable in medical image analysis is the efficient use of the support image data, which are labelled to classify or segment new classes,…

Cross-Modality Image Registration using a Training-Time Privileged Third Modality

Qianye Yang, David Atkinson, Yunguan Fu +7

In this work, we consider the task of pairwise cross-modality image registration, which may benefit from exploiting additional images available only at training time from an additi…
