  Research Intern

  Research project about left ventricle segmentation in pediatric MRI for inter-ventricular communication detections. - Generative adversarial networks for left ventricle segmentation in pediatric MRI- Semi-supervised framework was used to reduce number of annotated data for training.- A new weighted cross-entropy loss using distance transform was introduced.- The new loss was used to weight more the points closer to the real boundaries. See: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compbiomed.2020.103884Project carried out in the Interventional Imaging Lab. (LIVE). Show less
