Chest CT Registration

Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer of men and women in the U.S. and it causes more deaths than colorectal, breast and prostate cancers

Airways segmentation with Deep Learning

Image processing is a fundamental technique in the quest to identify lung cancer, one of the main causes of death among both men and women, and many other lung pathologies. For the worst diseases, survival rate depends on the stage in which the disease is diagnosed and correct segmentation of airway vessels offers the most effective solution to determine the lesion’s size and location, significantly improving diagnosis and treatment. Our solution is built upon Deep Learning and neural networks.

Kidney Segmentation

The most dramatically common kidney diseases are: kidney cancer, hitting 50,000 new patients every year only in the U.S.; and kidney failures, which leave the organ unable to remove wastes. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy operations remove or reduce kidney tumors and some renal malfunctions. We at RSIP Vision help by providing a semi-automatic and very accurate kidney segmentation technique, built on deep learning and neural networks to create a kidney model which would be specific for each patient.

Pulmonary lobes segmentation

Emphysema quantification and lung nodule detection are among the clinical applications which benefit the most from lobes segmentation in CT scans. Proper lung segmentation is key to determine the boundaries of lobes and prevent pleural damage during examination and treatment. When correctly located, diseases are treated faster and better, hence the call for RSIP Vision to find a faster alternative to time-consuming manual segmentation.

Pulmonary embolism detection

Timely detection of pulmonary embolism via CT angiography is key to reduce mortality risks. Human detection of pulmonary embolism (being often too slow, RSIP Vision recommends a combination of bidimensional and tridimensional image-processing techniques to achieve computer-aided pulmonary embolism detection which enables prompter diagnosis and treatment.

Date sorting

RSIP Vision has successfully worked in number of dates grading (or dates sorting) projects for our clients. Our automatic fruit recognition system is able to identify with high speed and accuracy all meaningful product features such as size, weight, defect, quality, color, texture, ripeness and others, offering key benefits to our clients: namely, fast and high-volume classification, savings in labor costs, consistent quality and reduced time-to-market.

Lung Lymph Nodes Detection

Analyzing pulmonary lymph nodes can give us valuable information for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. This solution too uses advanced algorithm of computer vision for pulmonology; it also allows to overcome technical difficulties like low image contrast and high nodes variation, offering a drastic improvement over techniques currently used to detect lung lymph nodes.

Lung vessel segmentation

Blood vessel segmentation of the lungs can help to identify important pulmonary diseases, characterizing nodules in the lungs, detecting pulmonary emboli and evaluating the lungs vasculature. Our technique of automatic pulmonary vessel segmentation completes very effectively the vessel tree structure provided by the CT scans of the lung, in such a way that the resulting image is more precise and matchlessly faster than any manual segmentation could be.

Measurement of Retinal Thickness

Retinal thickness is a key measurement used to assess the health of the retina and whether it needs any treatment. Thickness measures can be compared to optimal ranges or to data from the same patient over time, helping ophthalmologists to identify retinal disorders. Advanced optimization methods, borrowed from graph theory, enable us to solve the complex challenge of measuring retinal thickness within reasonable processing time.

Optical Character Recognition for handwriting

Deep Learning For OCR

OCR used for the visual inspection of documents has found wide application in both industry and research, though it is more commonly found in connection with printed characters than for handwritten ones, mainly owing to the variability in handwritten characters’ shapes and styles. Hence the need for automatic recognition performed by vision-based tailor-made algorithms and adjustment. Deep Neural Networks as a learning mechanism to perform recognition have proved to be particularly powerful tools, due to their high accuracy in both spotting text region and deciphering the characters.

Automatic Catheter Orientation Measurement

Catheters are inserted with measurement equipment at their tips, in order to scan their immediate surroundings. While orientation of the catheter’s tip is unknown throughout insertion, RSIP Vision has employed advanced algorithmic techniques to provide an exact measurement of catheter orientation during angiography, enabling the physician to ascertain the orientation of the catheter’s tip from x-ray images.

Quantitative Coronary Analysis

The main contribution of Quantitative Coronary Analysis (QCA) consists in measuring the diameter of arteries. Angiograms provide coronary images of region suspected of lesions using which our advanced algorithms for vessel detection and segmentation measure the segmented artery’s diameter. Abnormal values (as compared to a constructed reference diameter) are suspected as stenosis. Our system extracts and displays relevant values to the view of medical professionals and their patients.

Finding Cysts, Part Five: Final Detection

The goal is to automatically detect the appearance of Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images. The deep learning technique used, Convolutional Neural Networks, takes as an input patches of pixels from within the retina. These patches were generated from previous segmentation of retinal images. A further segmentation of the retina is performed using an image processing algorithm called SLIC. Every superpixel thus generated, after being labeled as in the OCT scan, is fed into the neural network to detect the cyst.

Explaining OCT Scans

What are OCT Scans? Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging method, which produces high-resolution volumetric histological images of tissue. To penetrate deep into biological

Finding Cysts Part Four: Seed Detection

A series of five articles on our Cysts Detection project using deep learning and Convolutional Neural Networks: 1) our cyst detection method; 2) the cyst denoising process; 3) the retinal layer segmentation; 4) the automatical seed-detection; 5) the final detection of the cysts. Our method is exceptionally successful at finding the cysts themselves and most of their area. Remarkable results are achieved even when using relatively small datasets in the training process.
