MA Thesis: Development of a Machine Learning Algorithm for Histopathological Classification of Conjunctival Melanocytic Intraepithelial Lesions

Abstract. Conjunctival Melanocytic Intraepithelial Lesions (CMIL) are a significant precursor to conjunctival melanoma, a rare but potentially fatal ocular cancer. The histopathological classification of CMIL is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment planning.

Call for Application for DAAD AInet Fellowship

We are excited to announce that Albarqouni Lab is proud to be one of the host institutions for the prestigious DAAD AInet Fellowship, which is awarded twice a year to outstanding international early-career researchers in artificial intelligence.

MA Thesis: Investigating Bias in AI Algorithms for Breast Cancer Detection from Mammography Imaging: A Focus on Generalization to Unseen Populations

Abstract. Breast density is a critical factor in breast cancer risk and detection, influencing the effectiveness of mammography. Higher breast density, characterized by a greater proportion of fibroglandular tissue relative to fatty tissue, is associated with a four- to sixfold increase in breast cancer risk.

MA Thesis: Deep Learning for Brain MRI Image Quality Transfer

Abstract. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a vital role in modern diagnostics, offering detailed, non-invasive insights into human anatomy [1-2]. High-field MRI (HF-MRI) systems, which operate at higher magnetic field strengths, provide superior image resolution and contrast compared to low-field MRI (LF-MRI) systems [3-4].

Summer School on Affordable AI (SAAI -- سعي)

Our lab at Universitätsklinikum Bonn, The University of Bonn, and Helmholtz AI in cooperation with the Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) are delighted to announce the upcoming AGYA Summer School on Affordable Artificial Intelligence (SAAI -سعي) in Bonn, 22-26 July 2024.

BA/MA Thesis: Deep Learning for Fetal Diaphragmatic Hernias Detection in US Images

Abstract. Fetuses with diaphragmatic hernias face severe health and survival risks. Treatment and outcomes can be improved if this condition is detected early. Ultrasound measurement of the lung-to-head ratio (o/e LHR) is widely used in obstetric ultrasound procedures for the assessment of the observed to expected lung-to-head ratio.

BA/MA Thesis: Deep Learning for Inherited Retinal Diseases Detection -- Not available

Abstract. Our project aims to improve the diagnosis of Inherited Retinal Dystrophies (IRDs), a group of rare retinal diseases impacting over 2 million people globally [1]. IRDs can lead to vision problems like night blindness, color blindness, tunnel vision, and eventual blindness, greatly affecting patients’ and their families’ quality of life [4].

MA Thesis: Deep Learning based detection model of the temporal and axillary artery in suspected giant cell arteritis in ultrasound images -- Not available

Abstract. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic autoimmune disease marked by inflammation of blood vessels (“vasculitis”) that can cause impairment and damage to organs [1]. GCA typically affects large and medium size arteries, such as the aorta and the temporal and axillary arteries [2–4].

Autumn School on AI (EEDA -- ايدا)
