We tackle the problem of target-free text-guided image manipulation, which requires one to modify input reference based on given text instruction, while no ground truth target is observed during training. To address this challenging task, we propose a Cyclic-Manipulation GAN (cManiGAN) in paper, able realize where and how edit regions interest. Specifically, editor cManiGAN learns identify comp...

The fields of medical image analysis and computer-aided interventions deal with reducing the large volume of digital images (X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography and ultrasound (US)) to more meaningful clinical information using software algorithms. US is a core imaging modality employed in these areas, both in its own right and used in conj...

conclusion according to our findings, ct-guided percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of abdominal abscess and fluid collection. results the average age of the patients was 54 years (range 12 to 79), including 21 (51%) men and 20 (49%) women. the common signs and symptoms were pain (83%) and fever (80.5%). the most prevalent abdominal abscess etiology was prev...

BACKGROUND Corticosteroid injections can be performed blind (landmark-guided) or with image guidance, and this may account for variable clinical outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of image-guided versus blind corticosteroid injections in improving pain and function among adults with shoulder pain. METHODS MEDLINE, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Re...

Background: To reduce uncertainties of patient positioning, the Computerized Tomography (CT) images acquired at the treatment planning time can be compared with those images obtained during radiation dose delivery. This can be followed during dose delivery procedure as Image Guided radiotherapy (IGRT) to verify the prescribed radiation dose delivery to the target as well as to monitor ...

Image-guided procedures, such as computed tomography (CT)-guided stereotactic and ultrasound-guided methods, can assist neurosurgeons in localizing the relevant pathology. The characteristics of image-guided procedures are important for their appropriate use, especially in brain biopsy. This study reviewed the results of various image-guided brain biopsies to ascertain the advantages and disadv...

Image processing is one of the most important areas of signal processing. Image processing is applicable for the improvement of pictorial improvement for human perception and autonomous machine application also the efficient storage and transmission. In this paper guided filter is proposed which can be applicable to both images as well as to video. This guided filter has many advantages over th...

on behalf of the image biomarker standardisation initiative The image biomarker standardisation initiative (IBSI) is an independent international collaboration which works towards standardisation of image biomarkers. Reproducibility and validation of studies in quantitative image analysis/ radiomics is a major challenge for the field (Gillies et al., 2015; Hatt et al., 2016; Yip and Aerts, 2016...
