Since April 2023
I am developing novel methods for detecting and analyzing bifurcations in both airways and arteries within thoracic CT scans, aiming to improve disease understanding and treatment planning. This project includes creating and releasing BifDet, the first public dataset for 3D airway bifurcation detection.
Since Nov. 2022
I am focusing on incorporating prior knowledge and loss function regularization techniques into deep learning models to achieve topologically correct predictions for tubular structures like airways and arteries in lung CT scans. This research aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of segmentation results for these critical anatomical structures.
Since May. 2024
Building upon the BifDet dataset, I am developing comprehensive airway and arterial tree models to advance our understanding of respiratory and cardiovascular health. This research aims to provide detailed insights into the morphology and bifurcation parameters of both systems, potentially informing personalized treatment strategies.
