• Abstract: The incidence of gastrointestinal cancers remains significantly high, particularly in China, emphasizing the importance of accurate prognostic assessments and effective treatment strategies. Research shows a strong correlation between abdominal muscle and fat tissue composition and patient outcomes. However, existing manual methods for analyzing abdominal tissue composition are time-consuming and costly, limiting clinical research scalability. To address these challenges, we developed an AI-driven tool for automated analysis of abdominal CT scans to effectively identify and segment muscle, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat. Our tool integrates a multi-view localization model and a high-precision 2D nnUNet-based segmentation model, demonstrating a localization accuracy of 90% and a Dice Score Coefficient of 0.967 for segmentation. Furthermore, it features an interactive interface that allows clinicians to refine the segmentation results, ensuring high-quality outcomes effectively. Our tool offers a standardized method for effectively extracting critical abdominal tissues, potentially enhancing the management and treatment for gastrointestinal cancers.

• Detection and Segmentation of Pancreas using Morphological Snakes and Deep Convolutional Neural Networks [0.0]
  Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of cancer, with 25% of the diagnosed patients surviving for only one year and 6% of them for five. advanced analysis of such images often requires manual segmentation of the pancreas, which is a time-consuming task. This dissertation addresses this task by investigating a twostep approach for pancreas segmentation, by assisting the task with a prior rough localization or detection pancreas. The segmentation task is tackled by a modified U-Net model applied on cropped data, as well as by using a morphological active contours algorithm.

  We propose a weakly-supervised deep learning framework that preserves the rigidity and the volume of each vertebra while maximizing the accuracy of the registration. We specifically design these losses to depend only on the CT label maps since automatic vertebra segmentation in CT gives more accurate results contrary to MRI. Our results show that adding the anatomy-aware losses increases the plausibility of the inferred transformation while keeping the accuracy untouched.
