• Abstract: In this study, we present a baseline approach for AutoImplant (https://autoimplant.grand-challenge.org/) - the cranial implant design challenge, which, as suggested by the organizers, can be formulated as a volumetric shape learning task. In this task, the defective skull, the complete skull and the cranial implant are represented as binary voxel grids. To accomplish this task, the implant can be either reconstructed directly from the defective skull or obtained by taking the difference between a defective skull and a complete skull. In the latter case, a complete skull has to be reconstructed given a defective skull, which defines a volumetric shape completion problem. Our baseline approach for this task is based on the former formulation, i.e., a deep neural network is trained to predict the implants directly from the defective skulls. The approach generates high-quality implants in two steps: First, an encoder-decoder network learns a coarse representation of the implant from down-sampled, defective skulls; The coarse implant is only used to generate the bounding box of the defected region in the original high-resolution skull. Second, another encoder-decoder network is trained to generate a fine implant from the bounded area. On the test set, the proposed approach achieves an average dice similarity score (DSC) of 0.8555 and Hausdorff distance (HD) of 5.1825 mm. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/Jianningli/autoimplant.

  cranioplasty is the craft of neurocranial repair using cranial implants. Despite the improvements made in recent years, the design of a patient-specific implant (PSI) is among the most complex, expensive, and least automated tasks in cranioplasty. We create a prototype application with a graphical user interface (UI) specifically tailored for semi-automatic implant generation. A general outline of the proposed implant generation process involves setting an area of interest, aligning the templates, and then creating the implant in voxel space.

  Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading causes of death among men, with almost 1.41 million new cases and around 375,000 deaths in 2020.

Small subimages called patches are extracted and predicted, obtaining a patch-level classification.

  delineation of organs-at-risk (OARs) is a vital step in radiotherapy treatment planning to avoid damage to healthy organs. We propose a novel two-stage deep neural network, FocusNetv2, to solve this challenging problem by automatically locating, ROI-pooling, and segmenting small organs. In addition to our original FocusNet, we employ a novel adversarial shape constraint on small organs to ensure the consistency between estimated small-organ shapes and organ shape prior knowledge.
