Our proposed method consists of three key innovations: meta-learning inspired re-weighting scheme to directly decrease the influence of corrupted instances in a mini-batch by assigning lower weights in the loss function, non-local feature-based loss function, and joint training of image synthesis network together with spatial transformer (STN)-based registration networks with specially designed regularization.

This paper proposes a novel spine keypoint detection framework to complete the intelligent diagnosis of AIS, with the assistance of spine rigid structure information. Specifically, a deep learning architecture called Landmark and Adjacent offset Detection (LAD-Net) is designed to predict spine centre and corner points as well as their related offset vectors, based on which error-detected landmarks can be effectively corrected via the proposed Adjacent Centre Iterative Correction (ACIC) and Corner Feature Optimization and Fusion (CFOF) modules. Based on the detected spine landmarks, spine key parameters (<em>i.e</em>. Cobb angles) can be computed to finish the AIS Lenke diagnosis. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework on spine landmark detection and Lenke classification, providing strong support for AIS diagnosis and treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50631,"journal":{"name":"Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics","volume":"121 ","pages":"Article 102496"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143179161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, CBCT images often suffer from streaking artifacts and noise caused by under-rate sampling projections and low-dose exposure, resulting in loss of lung anatomy which contains crucial pulmonary tumorous and functional information. While recent deep learning-based CBCT enhancement methods have shown promising results in suppressing artifacts, they have limited performance on preserving anatomical details containing crucial tumorous information due to lack of targeted guidance. To address this issue, we propose a novel feature-targeted deep learning framework which generates ultra-quality pulmonary imaging from CBCT of lung cancer patients via a multi-task customized feature-to-feature perceptual loss function and a feature-guided CycleGAN. The framework comprises two main components: a multi-task learning feature-selection network (MTFS-Net) for building up a customized feature-to-feature perceptual loss function (CFP-loss); and a feature-guided CycleGan network. Our experiments showed that the proposed framework can generate synthesized CT (sCT) images for the lung that achieved a high similarity to CT images, with an average SSIM index of 0.9747 and an average PSNR index of 38.5995 globally, and an average Pearman’s coefficient of 0.8929 within the tumor region on multi-institutional datasets. The sCT images also achieved visually pleasing performance with effective artifacts suppression, noise reduction, and distinctive anatomical details preservation. Functional imaging tests further demonstrated the pulmonary texture correction performance of the sCT images, and the similarity of the functional imaging generated from sCT and CT images has reached an average DSC value of 0.9147, SCC value of 0.9615 and R value of 0.9661. Comparison experiments with pixel-to-pixel loss also showed that the proposed perceptual loss significantly enhances the performance of involved generative models. Our experiment results indicate that the proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art models for pulmonary CBCT enhancement. This framework holds great promise for generating high-quality pulmonary imaging from CBCT that is suitable for supporting further analysis of lung cancer treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50631,"journal":{"name":"Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics","volume":"121 ","pages":"Article 102487"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143076326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather, positive examples just mean that the examples are of the same class, while negative examples mean that the examples are of different classes. Contrastive learning maps data to a latent space and works under the assumption that examples of the same class should be located close to each other in the latent space; and examples from different classes would locate far from each other. In other words, contrastive learning can be considered as a discriminator that tries to group examples of the same class together while separating examples of different classes from each other, preferably as far as possible.

To tackle this issue, we introduce a novel joint fusion model, which combines features from a Fully Connected (FC) Neural Network and a Graph Neural Network (GNN) in a multi-modality fashion. Our model uses both tabular data about genetic sequences and a knowledge base derived from Stanford drug-resistance mutation tables, which serve as benchmark references for deducing in-vivo treatment efficacy based on the viral genetic sequence. By leveraging this knowledge base structured as a graph, the GNN component enables our model to adapt to imbalanced data distributions and account for Out-of-Distribution (OoD) drugs. We evaluated these models’ robustness against OoD drugs in the test set. Our comprehensive analysis demonstrates that the proposed model consistently outperforms the FC model. These results underscore the advantage of integrating Stanford scores in the model, thereby enhancing its generalizability and robustness, but also extending its utility in contributing in more informed clinical decisions with limited data availability.

Existing methods often fail due to the low contrast of the IAN and the presence of artifacts, which can cause segmentation discontinuities. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel approach that employs Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) curve shape priors into a multiscale attention network for the automatic segmentation of the IAN. Firstly, an automatic method for generating non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) shape prior is proposed and introduced into the segmentation network, which significantly enhancing the continuity and accuracy of IAN segmentation. Then a multiscale attention segmentation network, incorporating a dilation selective attention module is developed, to improve the network’s feature extraction capacity. The proposed approach is validated on both in-house and public datasets, showcasing superior performance compared to established benchmarks, achieving 80.29±11.04% dice coefficient (Dice) and 68.14±12.06% intersection of union (IoU), the 95% Hausdorff distance (95HD) reaches 1.61±6.14 mm and mean surface distance (MSD) reaches 0.64±2.16 mm on private dataset.

Compared to state-of-the-art networks, the proposed approach out-performs in both voxel accuracy and surface distance.
