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].
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].
Abstract. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in Germany [4,14]. Both digital rectal examination (DRE) along with the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level in blood samples are typically used in PCa screening.
Abstract. Diseases of the cardiovascular system are among the most common diseases worldwide and are the leading cause of death. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 17.9 million people die of cardiovascular diseases each year worldwide.
Federated Learning (FL) is a novel approach enabling several clients holding sensitive data to collaboratively train machine learning models, without centralizing data. The cross-silo FL setting corresponds to the case of few (--) reliable clients, …
Machine Learning has gained a lot of momentum within development organizations that are actively looking for innovative solutions to leverage their data to identify new levels of understanding their operations and processes. Machine learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence where the machine learns from data rather than from explicit programming.
Collecting large-scale medical datasets with fully annotated samples for training of deep networks is prohibitively expensive, especially for 3D volume data. Recent breakthroughs in self-supervised learning (SSL) offer the ability to overcome the …
With the advent of deep learning and increasing use of brain MRIs, a great amount of interest has arisen in automated anomaly segmentation to improve clinical workflows; however, it is time-consuming and expensive to curate medical imaging. Moreover, …
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) offer an effective solution to the image-to-image translation problem, thereby allowing for new possibilities in medical imaging. They can translate images from one imaging modality to another at a low cost. For …
