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].

MA Thesis: Deep Learning based model for detection and grading of prostate cancer using mpMRI and MR-Fingerprinting -- Not available

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.

FLamby: Datasets and Benchmarks for Cross-Silo Federated Learning in Realistic Healthcare Settings

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, …
