• Abstract: Automatic segmentation of brain glioma from multimodal MRI scans plays a key role in clinical trials and practice. Unfortunately, manual segmentation is very challenging, time-consuming, costly, and often inaccurate despite human expertise due to the high variance and high uncertainty in the human annotations. In the present work, we develop an end-to-end deep-learning-based segmentation method using a multi-decoder architecture by jointly learning three separate sub-problems using a partly shared encoder. We also propose to apply smoothing methods to the input images to generate denoised versions as additional inputs to the network. The validation performance indicate an improvement when using the proposed method. The proposed method was ranked 2nd in the task of Quantification of Uncertainty in Segmentation in the Brain Tumors in Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Challenge 2020.

  Traditional deep learning-based automatic segmentation requires extensive training data with ground-truth labels. We propose a novel method based on multi-atlas segmentation, that accurately segments multiple tissues without relying on labeled data for training. Our method employs a cascaded deep learning network for 3D image registration, which computes small, incremental deformations to the moving image to align it precisely with the fixed image.

  We propose a novel model, Multi-modal Gaussian Process Prior Variational Autoencoder (MGP-VAE), to impute one or more missing sub-modalities for a patient scan. MGP-VAE can leverage the Gaussian Process (GP) prior on the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to utilize the subjects/patients and sub-modalities correlations. We show the applicability of MGP-VAE on brain tumor segmentation where either, two, or three of four sub-modalities may be missing.
