Article Abstract
Background: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is diagnosed according to the Task Force Criteria (TFC) in which cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging plays an important role. Our study aims to apply an automatic deep learning-based segmentation for right and left ventricular CMR assessment and evaluate this approach for classification of the CMR TFC.
Methods: We included 227 subjects suspected of ARVC who underwent CMR. Subjects were classified into (1) ARVC patients fulfilling TFC; (2) at-risk family members; and (3) controls. To perform automatic segmentation, a Bayesian Dilated Residual Neural Network was trained and tested. Performance of automatic versus manual segmentation was assessed using Dice-coefficient and Hausdorff distance. Since automatic segmentation is most challenging in basal slices, manual correction of the automatic segmentation in the most basal slice was simulated (automatic). CMR TFC calculated using manual and automatic segmentation were compared using Cohen's Kappa (κ).
Results: Automatic segmentation was trained on CMRs of 70 subjects (39.6 ± 18.1 years, 47% female) and tested on 157 subjects (36.9 ± 17.6 years, 59% female). Dice-coefficient and Hausdorff distance showed good agreement between manual and automatic segmentations (≥ 0.89 and ≤ 10.6 mm, respectively) which further improved after simulated correction of the most basal slice (≥ 0.92 and ≤ 9.2 mm, p < 0.001). Pearson correlation of volumetric and functional CMR measurements was good to excellent (automatic (r = 0.78-0.99, p < 0.001) and automatic (r = 0.88-0.99, p < 0.001) measurements). CMR TFC classification using automatic segmentations was comparable to manual segmentations (κ 0.98 ± 0.02) with comparable diagnostic performance.
Conclusions: Combining automatic segmentation of CMRs with correction of the most basal slice results in accurate CMR TFC classification of subjects suspected of ARVC.

Objectives: The escalating global incidence of obesity, cardiometabolic disease and sarcopenia necessitates reliable body composition measurement tools. MRI-based assessment is the gold standard, with utility in both clinical and drug trial settings. This study aims to validate a new automated volumetric MRI method by comparing with manual ground truth, prior volumetric measurements, and against a new method for semi-automated single-slice area measurements.

Background: Reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) signify a critical phenotype driving vision loss in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study sought to develop and externally test a deep learning (DL) model to detect RPD on optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans with expert-level performance.
Methods: RPD were manually segmented in 9800 OCT B-scans from individuals enrolled in a multicentre randomised trial.

Background: Accurate delineation of regions of interest (ROIs) is critical for feature extraction and selection in radiomics-based prediction models.
Purpose: To develop a combined dosiomics and deep learning (DL) model for predicting grade ≥ 2 radiation esophagitis (RE) in lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, we propose a multi-task auxiliary learning approach to define accurate and objective ROIs based on radiation dose distribution (RDD) images.
Materials And Methods: Lung cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy were gathered retrospectively from hospital 1 (January 2020 and December 2022) for model development.

Automatic segmentation of retinal vessels from retinography images is crucial for timely clinical diagnosis. However, the high cost and specialized expertise required for annotating medical images often result in limited labeled datasets, which constrains the full potential of deep learning methods. Recent advances in self-supervised pretraining using unlabeled data have shown significant benefits for downstream tasks.

Background: When analyzing cells in culture, assessing cell morphology (shape), confluency (density), and growth patterns are necessary for understanding cell health. These parameters are generally obtained by a skilled biologist inspecting light microscope images, but this can become very laborious for high-throughput applications. One way to speed up this process is by automating cell segmentation.
