    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with reconstruction of multi-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. The reconstruction may be performed based on under-sampled MRI data collected for the multiple contrasts using corresponding sampling patterns. The sampling patterns and the reconstruction operations for the multiple contrasts may be jointly optimized using deep learning techniques implemented through one or more neural networks. An end-to-end reconstruction optimizing framework is provided with which information collected while processing one contrast may be stored and used for another contrast. A differentiable sampler is described for obtaining the under-sampled MRI data from a k-space and a novel holistic recurrent neural network is used to reconstruct MRI images based on the under-sampled MRI data.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with automatically annotating a 3D image dataset. The 3D automatic annotation may be accomplished based on a 2D manual annotation provided by an annotator and by propagating, using a set of machine-learning (ML) based techniques, the 2D manual annotation through sequences of 2D images associated with the 3D image dataset. The automatically annotated 3D image dataset may then be used to annotate other 3D image datasets upon passing a readiness assessment conducted using another set of ML based techniques. The automatic annotation of the images may be performed progressively, e.g., by processing a subset or batch of images at a time, and the ML based techniques may be trained to ensure consistency between a forward propagation and a backward propagation.

    Abstract: An anatomy-aware contouring editing method includes receiving an image, wherein the image represents an anatomically recognizable structure; identifying a first image segment representing part of the anatomically recognizable structure; annotating the first image segment to generate a label of the part; drawing a contour along a boundary of the part; receiving a first input from a user device indicative of a region of contour failure, wherein the region of contour failure includes a portion of a contour that requires editing; editing the contour for generating an edited contour based on the first input and anatomical information; and updating another contour of another part of the anatomically recognizable structure based on the edited contour, wherein the another part is anatomically related to the part.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with medical image enhancement. The medical image may include an object of interest and the techniques disclosed herein may be used to identify the object and enhance a contrast between the object and its surrounding area by adjusting at least the pixels associated with the object. The object identification may be performed using an image filter, a segmentation mask, and/or a deep neural network trained to separate the medical image into multiple layers that respectively include the object of interest and the surrounding area. Once identified, the pixels of the object may be manipulated in various ways to increase the visibility of the object. These may include, for example, adding a constant value to the pixels of the object, applying a sharpening filter to those pixels, increasing the weight of those pixels, and/or smoothing the edge areas surrounding the object of interest.
