Equivariant CBCT reconstruction preprint

Medical image reconstruction with learned iterative schemes is particularly compute-heavy for inherently three-dimensional modalities such as Conebeam CT, and in our latest preprint we propose a novel architecture aimed for fast and memory efficient CBCT reconstruction

New preprint on self-supervised MRI reconstruction

Struggling with SSL methods in MRI reconstruction when ground truth data is unavailable? Our new pre-print on Joint Supervised and Self-supervised Learning (JSSL) might be the solution for training DL nets in the absence of fully sampled MRI data.

New preprint on calibration of image segmentation algorithms

Deep learning model outputs are generally not guaranteed to be well-calibrated. We propose a new approach, called "Kandinsky conformal prediction" for efficiently calibrating image segmentation models. Our method is built upon the framework of inductive conformal prediction, and is especially geared towards low-data scenarios such as medical image segmentation.

aiEMBRACE project started

On the 14th of November, we had the kickoff meeting of our aiEMBRACE project (AI-Enhanced personalized image-based breast cancer management). In this project, we will develop and validate models to improve the risk prediction, therapy response, and early recurrence of breast cancer.

New preprint on Accelerated MRI Reconstruction

Our latest preprint in MRI Reconstruction presents "vSHARP: A DL-Based Approach for Accelerated Parallel MRI Reconstruction," a novel method for solving complex inverse problems in medical imaging. vSHARP combines mathematical techniques for state-of-the-art MRI reconstruction.

New publication about breast cancer primary treatment response assessment and prediction

Primary systemic therapy (PST) is the treatment of choice in patients with locally advanced breast cancer and is nowadays also often used in patients with early-stage breast cancer. In our review, we critically discuss the literature on AI-based PST response prediction.

New preprint about Constrained Empirical Risk Minimization

Our latest research provides an innovative solution to the challenge of enforcing constraints on deep neural networks. We reframe the constraints on a network as an ordinary risk minimization problem on a Riemannian manifold.
