Domain Adaptation of Echocardiography Segmentation Via Reinforcement Learning

Published in Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention -- MICCAI, 2024

We present an innovative reinforcement learning framework for optimal domain adaptation in medical imaging segmentation. This framework reduces the need to otherwise incorporate large expertly annotated datasets in the target domain, and eliminates the need for lengthy manual human review.

Physics-Guided Neural Networks for Intraventricular Vector Flow Mapping

Published in IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2024

We propose novel alternatives to the traditional intraventricular vector flow mapping (iVFM) optimization scheme by utilizing physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) and a physics-guided nnU-Net-based supervised approach.

Asymmetric Contour Uncertainty Estimation for Medical Image Segmentation

Published in Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention -- MICCAI, 2023

We propose explicitly modeling location uncertainty by redefining the segmentation task as contour regression, providing improved performance and interpretability.

Ultrafast Cardiac Imaging Using Deep Learning For Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography

Published in IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2023

We developped a complex-weighted convolutional neural network (CNN) for ultrasound images. We showed that our method allows reconstructing high-quality static images while maintaining the capability of tracking cardiac motion

Phase unwrapping of color Doppler echocardiography using deep learning

Published in IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2023

We developed an unfolded primal-dual network to unwrap (dealias) color Doppler echocardiographic images and compared its effectiveness against two state-of-the-art segmentation approaches based on nnU-Net and transformer models.

Echocardiography Segmentation With Enforced Temporal Consistency

Published in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2022

We propose a framework to learn the 2D+time apical long-axis cardiac shape such that the segmented sequences can benefit from temporal and anatomical consistency constraints.

CRISP - Reliable Uncertainty Estimation for Medical Image Segmentation

Published in Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention -- MICCAI, 2022

We propose a method called CRISP for uncertainty prediction of image segmentation. CRISP implements a contrastive method to learn a joint latent space which encodes a distribution of valid segmentations and their corresponding images.
