Oliver Díaz has recently joined two new working groups of the EFOMP

VICOROB’s member Oliver Díaz has recently joined two new working groups (WGs) of the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP). Each WG has specific objectives to accomplish within the next two years (2019-2021). In the first WG (Breast tomosynthesis QC protocol), new protocols will be defined to perform…

DOCTORAL THESIS: Automated brain structure segmentation in magnetic resonance images of multiple sclerosis patients.

By Sandra González Villà Supervised by Dr. Xavier Lladó Bardera  / Dr.  Arnau Oliver Malagelada   Abstract This thesis is focused on the automated segmentation of the brain structures in magnetic resonance images, applied to multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. This disease is characterized by the presence of demyelinating lesions in…

New article: Supervised Domain Adaptation for Automatic Sub-cortical Brain Structure Segmentation with Minimal User Interaction

In recent years, the deep learning based methods achieved the state of the art for medical image segmentation. However, these methods are sensitive to image intensity distribution changes such as different MRI scanner or protocol. Therefore, a neural network has to be retrained to perform similarly in other datasets. In…
