• Abstract summary: We propose a novel framework combining geometric and texture information to localize skin lesion correspondence from a source scan to a target scan in total body photography (TBP) As full-body 3D capture becomes more prevalent and has higher quality, we expect the proposed method to constitute a valuable step in the longitudinal tracking of skin lesions.

• Abstract: Longitudinal tracking of skin lesions - finding correspondence, changes in morphology, and texture - is beneficial to the early detection of melanoma. However, it has not been well investigated in the context of full-body imaging. We propose a novel framework combining geometric and texture information to localize skin lesion correspondence from a source scan to a target scan in total body photography (TBP). Body landmarks or sparse correspondence are first created on the source and target 3D textured meshes. Every vertex on each of the meshes is then mapped to a feature vector characterizing the geodesic distances to the landmarks on that mesh. Then, for each lesion of interest (LOI) on the source, its corresponding location on the target is first coarsely estimated using the geometric information encoded in the feature vectors and then refined using the texture information. We evaluated the framework quantitatively on both a public and a private dataset, for which our success rates (at 10 mm criterion) are comparable to the only reported longitudinal study. As full-body 3D capture becomes more prevalent and has higher quality, we expect the proposed method to constitute a valuable step in the longitudinal tracking of skin lesions.

  X-ray computed microtomography (mu-CT) is a non-destructive technique that can generate high-resolution 3D images of the internal anatomy of medical and biological samples. extracting relevant information from 3D images requires semantic segmentation of the regions of interest. We propose a novel framework that uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to automatically segment the full morphology of the heart of Carassius auratus.

  The aim of this study was to develop a model to accurately identify corresponding points between organ segmentations of different patients for radiotherapy applications. A model for simultaneous correspondence and estimation in 3D shapes was trained with head and neck organ segmentations from planning CT scans. We then extended the original model to incorporate imaging information using two approaches.

  We present an automated approach to detect and longitudinally track skin lesions on 3D total-body skin surfaces scans. The acquired 3D mesh of the subject is unwrapped to a 2D texture image, where a trained region convolutional neural network (R-CNN) localizes the lesions within the 2D domain. Our results, on test subjects annotated by three human annotators, suggest that the trained R-CNN detects lesions at a similar performance level as the human annotators.
