Personalized Anatomic Eye Model From T1-Weighted Volume Interpolated Gradient Echo Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Patients With Uveal Melanoma

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Raphael Sznitman, Alessia Pica

Purpose: We present a 3-dimensional patient-specific eye model from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for proton therapy treatment planning of uveal melanoma (UM). During MRI acquisition of UM patients, the point fixation can be difficult and, together with ...

Ocular Structures Segmentation from Multi-sequences MRI Using 3D Unet with Fully Connected CRFs

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Raphael Sznitman, Alessia Pica

The use of 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has attracted growing attention for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment planning of intraocular ocular cancers. Precise segmentation of such tumors are highly important to characterize tumors, their progres ...

Automatic Segmentation of the Eye in 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Novel Statistical Shape Model for Treatment Planning of Retinoblastoma

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Raphael Sznitman, Carlos Ciller, Alessia Pica

Purpose: Proper delineation of ocular anatomy in 3-dimensional (3D) imaging is a big challenge, particularly when developing treatment plans for ocular diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presently used in clinical practice for diagnosis confirma ...

Modern cataract surgery for radiation-induced cataracts in retinoblastoma

Alessia Pica

Background Surgery of radiation-induced cataracts in children with retinoblastoma (RB) is a challenge as early intervention is weighted against the need to delay surgery until complete tumour control is obtained. This study analyses the safety and function ...

An Efficient Segmentation Method for Ultrasound Images based on a Semi-supervised Approach and Patch-based Features

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Xavier Bresson, Nawal Houhou, Anca-Ramona Ciurte, Alessia Pica

Segmenting ultrasound images is a challenging problem where standard unsupervised segmentation methods such as the well-known Chan-Vese method fail. We propose in this paper an efficient segmentation method for this class of images. Our proposed algorithm ...

Model-based Segmentation and Image Fusion of 3D Computed Tomography and 3D Ultrasound of the Eye for Radiotherapy Planning

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Subrahmanyam Venkata Ravi Mohana Sai Gorthi, Alessia Pica

For radiotherapy treatment planning of retinoblastoma in childhood, Computed Tomography (CT) represents the standard method for tumor volume delineation, despite some inherent limitations. CT scan is very useful in providing information on physical density ...
