    • Improving Image Segmentation with Contextual and Structural Similarity April 22, 2024
      Deep learning models for medical image segmentation are usually trained with voxel-wise losses, e.g., cross-entropy loss, focusing on unary supervision without considering inter-voxel relationships. This oversight potentially leads to semantically inconsistent predictions. Here, we propose a contextual similarity loss (CSL) and a structural similarity loss (SSL) to explicitly and efficiently incorporate inter-voxel relationships for improved […]

    • Optimal shrinkage denoising breaks the noise floor in high-resolution diffusion MRI April 22, 2024
      The spatial resolution attainable in diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is inherently limited by noise. The weaker signal associated with a smaller voxel size, especially at a high level of diffusion sensitization, is often buried under the noise floor owing to the non-Gaussian nature of the MR magnitude signal. Here, we show how the noise […]

    • Structural characteristics of amygdala subregions in type 2 diabetes mellitus April 10, 2024
      Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients often suffer from depressive symptoms, which seriously affect cooperation in treatment and nursing. The amygdala plays a significant role in depression. This study aims to explore the microstructural alterations of the amygdala in T2DM and to investigate the relationship between the alterations and depressive symptoms. Fifty T2DM and 50 […]
