PURPOSE: Deformable medial modeling is an inverse skeletonization approach to representing anatomy in medical images, which can be used for statistical shape analysis and assessment of patient-specific anatomical features such as locally va…

SignificanceUterine fibroids (UFs) can pose a serious health risk to women. UFs are benign tumors that vary in clinical presentation from asymptomatic to causing debilitating symptoms. UF management is limited by our inability to predict UF…

PURPOSE: Accurate segmentation of the endometrium in ultrasound images is essential for gynecological diagnostics and treatment planning. Manual segmentation methods are time-consuming and subjective, prompting the exploration of automated …

PURPOSE: Specular reflections (SRs) are highlight artifacts commonly found in endoscopy videos that can severely disrupt a surgeon's observation and judgment. Despite numerous attempts to restore SR, existing methods are inefficient and tim…

Minimal invasive endoscopic treatment for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUT-UC) is advocated in patients with low-risk disease and limited tumor volume. Diagnostic ureterorenoscopy combined with biopsy is the diagnostic standard…

Hysterectomies (i.e., surgical removal of the uterus) are the prevailing solution to treat medical conditions such as uterine cancer, endometriosis, and uterine prolapse. One complication of hysterectomies is accidental injury to the ureter…

We propose an adaptable framework for analyzing ultrasound (US) images quantitatively to provide computer-aided diagnosis using machine learning. Our preliminary clinical targets are hepatic steatosis, adenomyosis, and craniosynostosis. For…
