Generative Image Translation for Data Augmentation

March, 2019

Our work on “Generative Image Translation for Data Augmentation of Bone Lesion Pathology” was accepted at MIDL 2019. Full article available as [pdf]. This is the follow-up of the [abstract] that we presented at Medical Imaging meets NeurIPS.

MALPEM-ADNI: Large biomarker analysis and shared morphometry database for ADNI

July, 2018

We created and analysed segmentations of 138 anatomical regions of 5074 brain MRIs from ADNI. We share all masks, segmentations, features.
