Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a possible complication of pulmonary embolism (PE), with poor prognosis if left untreated. Surgical curative treatment is available, particularly in the early stages of the disease. However, most cases are not diagnosed until specific symptoms become evident. A small number of computed tomogr...

Although remarkable improvements have been made, the natural control of hand prostheses in everyday life is still challenging. Changes in limb position can considerably affect the robustness of pattern recognition-based myoelectric control systems, even if various strategies were proposed to mitigate this effect. In this paper, we investigate the p...

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is still an important cause of death worldwide, even after being almost eradicated 40 years ago. Early identification of TB in computed tomography (CT) scans can influence therapeutical decisions, thus improving patient outcome. In this paper, a graph model of the lungs is proposed for the classification of TB types usin...

Purpose The aims of this multicentre retrospective study of locally advanced head and neck cancer (LAHNC) treated with definitive radiotherapy were to (1) identify positron emission tomography (PET)-¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) parameters correlated with overall survival (OS) in a training cohort, (2) compute a prognostic model, and (3) externa...

Lung image analysis is an essential part in the assessment of pulmonary diseases. Through visual inspection of CT scans, radiologists detect abnormal patterns in the lung parenchyma, aiming to establish a timely diagnosis and thus improving patient outcome.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Two main challenges when assessing computed tomography scans of TB patients are detecting multi-drug resistance and differentiating TB types. In this article we model the lungs as a graph entity where nodes represent anatomical lung regions and edges encode interactions between them. Thi...

In 2018, ImageCLEF proposed a task using CT (Computed Tomography) scans of patients with tuberculosis (TB). The task was divided into three subtasks: multi-drug resistance detection, TB type classification , and severity scoring. In this work we present a graph model of the lungs capable of characterizing TB patients with different lung problems. T...

Medical imaging plays an important role in patient diagnosis and treatment planning. A standard procedure to assess a respiratory disease is a CT scan of the chest, where radiologists can detect subtle alterations in the lung tissue. This thesis aims at describing the lung tissue in CT scans, both from a local and a global perspective. It explores...

Many image acquisition techniques used in biomedical imaging, material analysis, and structural geology are capable of acquiring 3–D solid images. Computational analysis of these images is complex but necessary since it is difficult for humans to visualize and quantify their detailed 3–D content. One of the most common methods to analyze 3–D data i...

This article presents a novel graph–model approach encoding the relations between the perfusion in several regions of the lung extracted from a geometry–based atlas. Unlike previous approaches that individually analyze regions of the lungs, our method evaluates the entire pulmonary circulatory network for the classification of patients with pulmona...

This paper proposes a novel imaging biomarker of lung cancer relapse from 3-D texture analysis of CT images. Three-dimensional morphological nodular tissue properties are described in terms of 3-D Riesz-wavelets. The responses of the latter are aggregated within nodular regions by means of feature covariances, which leverage rich intra- and inter-...

Variations in the shape and appearance of anatomical structures in medical images are often relevant radiological signs of disease. Automatic tools can help automate parts of this manual process. A cloud-based evaluation framework is presented in this paper including results of benchmarking current state-of-the-art medical imaging algorithms for an...

Medical image analysis techniques require an initial localization and segmentation of the corresponding anatomical structures. As part of the VISCERAL Anatomy segmentation benchmarks, a hierarchical multi-atlas multi-structure segmentation approach guided by anatomical correlations is proposed (AnatSeg-Gspac). The method defines a global alignment...

The segmentation of lung volumes constitutes the first step for most computer–aided systems for lung diseases. CT (Computed Tomography) is the most common imaging technique used by these systems, so fast and accurate methods are needed to for allow early and reliable analysis. In this paper, an efficient and fully automatic method for the segmentat...
