- Abstract summary: We present a fully automatic method to segment cardiac structures including the left (LV) and right ventricle (RV) blood pools.
Specifically, we design a semi-supervised learning method to leverage unlabelled MRI sequence timeframes by label propagation.
We exploit style transfer to reduce the variance among different centers and vendors for more robust cardiac image segmentation.

- Abstract: Accurate segmentation of cardiac structures can assist doctors to diagnose
diseases, and to improve treatment planning, which is highly demanded in the
clinical practice. However, the shortage of annotation and the variance of the
data among different vendors and medical centers restrict the performance of
advanced deep learning methods. In this work, we present a fully automatic
method to segment cardiac structures including the left (LV) and right
ventricle (RV) blood pools, as well as for the left ventricular myocardium
(MYO) in MRI volumes. Specifically, we design a semi-supervised learning method
to leverage unlabelled MRI sequence timeframes by label propagation. Then we
exploit style transfer to reduce the variance among different centers and
vendors for more robust cardiac image segmentation. We evaluate our method in
the M&Ms challenge 7 , ranking 2nd place among 14 competitive teams.

Assessment [69.02116920364311]
Existing video-based methods do not pay much attention to the left ventricular region, nor the left ventricular changes caused by motion.
We propose a semi-supervised auxiliary learning paradigm with a left ventricular segmentation task, which contributes to the representation learning for the left ventricular region.
Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Stanford dataset with an improvement of 0.22 MAE, 0.26 RMSE, and 1.9% $R2$.

Deep learning models have shown promise for automatically segmenting MS lesions, but the scarcity of accurately annotated data hinders progress in this area.
We introduce a Decoupled Hard Label Correction (DHLC) strategy that considers the imbalanced distribution and fuzzy boundaries of MS lesions.
We also introduce a Centrally Enhanced Label Correction (CELC) strategy, which leverages the aggregated central model as a correction teacher for all sites.

We present a weakly supervised method to generate a healthy version of a diseased image and then use it to obtain a pixel-wise anomaly map.
We employ a diffusion model trained on healthy samples and combine Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) and Denoising Implicit Model (DDIM) at each step of the sampling process.
We verify that when our method is applied to healthy samples, the input images are reconstructed without significant modifications.

Late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can directly visualize nonviable myocardium with hyperenhanced intensities.
For heart attack patients, it is crucial to facilitate the decision of appropriate therapy by analyzing and quantifying their LGE CMR images.
To achieve accurate quantification, LGE CMR images need to be processed in two steps: segmentation of the myocardium followed by classification of infarcts.

This work defines a new task of medical image analysis, i.e., to perform myocardial pathology segmentation (MyoPS)

The challenge provided 45 paired and pre-aligned CMR images, allowing algorithms to combine the complementary information from the three CMR sequences for pathology segmentation.

We propose a novel method to exploit the directional feature maps, which can simultaneously strengthen the differences between classes and the similarities within classes.
Specifically, we perform cardiac segmentation and learn a direction field pointing away from the nearest cardiac tissue boundary to each pixel.
Based on the learned direction field, we then propose a feature rectification and fusion (FRF) module to improve the original segmentation features.
