• Abstract: Brain tumor segmentation is essential for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with gliomas. The brain tumor segmentation challenge has continued to provide a great source of data to develop automatic algorithms to perform the task. This paper describes our contribution to the 2021 competition. We developed our methods based on nn-UNet, the winning entry of last year competition. We experimented with several modifications, including using a larger network, replacing batch normalization with group normalization, and utilizing axial attention in the decoder. Internal 5-fold cross validation as well as online evaluation from the organizers showed the effectiveness of our approach, with minor improvement in quantitative metrics when compared to the baseline. The proposed models won first place in the final ranking on unseen test data. The codes, pretrained weights, and docker image for the winning submission are publicly available at https://github.com/rixez/Brats21_KAIST_MRI_Lab

  We present a deep learning-based brain tumor recurrence location prediction network. We first train a multi-modal brain tumor segmentation network on the public dataset BraTS 2021. Then, the pre-trained encoder is transferred to our private dataset for extracting the rich semantic features. Two decoders are constructed to jointly segment the present brain tumor and predict its future tumor recurrence location.

  Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, and its effective diagnosis and treatment depend on the accurate delineation of the tumor. Human-centered segmentation, which is currently the most common approach, is subject to inter-observer variability. The 2018 VIP Cup started with a global engagement from 42 countries to access the competition data. In a nutshell, all the algorithms proposed during the competition, are based on deep learning models combined with a false positive reduction technique.

  Anomaly detection for Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) can be solved with unsupervised methods. We have proposed a slice-wise semi-supervised method for tumour detection based on the computation of a dissimilarity function in the latent space of a Variational AutoEncoder. We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.
