• Abstract: Large enough computed tomography (CT) data sets to train supervised deep models are often hard to come by. One contributing issue is the amount of manual labor that goes into creating ground truth labels, specially for volumetric data. In this research, we train a U-net architecture at a vessel segmentation task that can be used to provide insights when treating stroke patients. We create a computational model that generates synthetic vascular structures which can be blended into unlabeled CT scans of the head. This unsupervised approached to labelling is used to pre-train deep segmentation models, which are later fine-tuned on real examples to achieve an increase in accuracy compared to models trained exclusively on a hand-labeled data set.

  Few-shot learning approaches are cost-effective to transfer pre-trained models using only limited annotated data. We train a data-driven sparsification module to enhance airways efficiently in lung CT scans. We then incorporate these sparse representations in a standard supervised segmentation pipeline as a pretraining step to enhance the performance of the DL models.

  Serial sectioning Optical Coherence Tomography (s OCT) is becoming increasingly popular to study post-mortem neurovasculature. Here, we leverage synthetic datasets of vessels to train a deep learning segmentation model. Both approaches yield similar Dice scores, although with very different false positive and false negative rates.

  tooth identification and segmentation in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) dental images can significantly enhance the efficiency and precision of manual diagnoses performed by dentists. Existing segmentation methods are mainly developed based on large data volumes training, on which their annotations are extremely time-consuming. This study proposes a tasked-oriented Masked Auto-Encoder paradigm to effectively utilize large amounts of unlabeled data to achieve accurate tooth segmentation with limited labeled data.
