Generalisable Cardiac Structure Segmentation via Attentional and Stacked Image Adaptation
Tackling domain shifts in multi-centre and multi-vendor data sets remains challenging for cardiac image segmentation. In this paper, we propose a generalisable segmentation framework for cardiac image segmentation in which multi-centre, multi-vendor, multi-disease datasets are involved. A generative adversarial networks with an attention loss was proposed to translate the images from existing source domains to a target domain, thus to generate good-quality synthetic cardiac structure and enlarge the training set. A stack of data augmentation techniques was further used to simulate real-world transformation to boost the segmentation performance for unseen domains.We achieved an average Dice score of 90.3% for the left ventricle, 85.9% for the myocardium, and 86.5% for the right ventricle on the hidden validation set across four vendors. We show that the domain shifts in heterogeneous cardiac imaging datasets can be drastically reduced by two aspects: 1) good-quality synthetic data by learning the underlying target domain distribution, and 2) stacked classical image processing techniques for data augmentation.

An AI tool for automated analysis of large-scale unstructured clinical cine CMR databases
Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been proposed for automating analysis of short axis (SAX) cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), but no CMR analysis tool exists to automatically analyse large (unstructured) …
SegReg: Latent Space Regularization for Improved Medical Image Segmentation
Medical image segmentation models are typically optimised with voxel-wise losses that constrain predictions only in the output space. This leaves latent feature representations largely unconstrained, potentially limiting…
