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 ...

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, Alessia Pica, Nawal Houhou, Anca-Ramona Ciurte

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 ...

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 ...
