Manual or automatic delineation of the esophageal tumor in CT images is known to be very challenging. This is due to the low contrast between the tumor and adjacent tissues, the anatomical variation of the esophagus, as well as the occasional presence of foreign bodies (e.g. f ...
Hierarchical Prediction of Registration Misalignment using a Convolutional LSTM
Application to Chest CT Scans
In this paper we propose a supervised method to predict registration misalignment using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This task is casted to a classification problem with multiple classes of misalignment: 'correct' 0-3 mm, 'poor' 3-6 mm and 'wrong' over 6 mm. Rather th ...
Predicting registration error can be useful for evaluation of registration procedures, which is important for the adoption of registration techniques in the clinic. In addition, quantitative error prediction can be helpful in improving the registration quality. The task of pre ...
Hadamard time-encoded pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (te-pCASL) is a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-efficient MRI technique for acquiring dynamic pCASL signals that encodes the temporal information into the labeling according to a Hadamard matrix. In the decoding step, ...
Purpose: To develop and validate a robust and accurate registration pipeline for automatic contour propagation for online adaptive Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) of prostate cancer using elastix software and deep learning. Methods: A three-dimensional (3D) Convoluti ...

Atlas-based Surgical Planning for Oncological Pelvic Surgery
In this paper we propose a method to solve nonrigid image registration through a learning approach, instead of via iterative optimization of a predefined dissimilarity metric. We design a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture that, in contrast to all other work, dire ...
