Projects

Longitudinal Brain Atlases Construction via implicit neural representation.
- Alleviated the temporal inconsistency issue caused by independently averaging brain images at discrete time points in existing longitudinal atlas construction methods.
- Formulated the time inconsistency issue as a 4D image denoising task, and used implicit neural representation to construct continuous and noise-free longitudinal brain atlases.
- Improved temporal consistency while maintaining accurate representation of brain structures on two modalities of brain atlases (QSM and fetus atlases).
- Generated finer 4D atlases with higher temporal resolution (e.g., 0.5-week interval).
- 2021-present
Robust Self-supervised 3D Fetal Brain MRI Reconstruction.
- Tackled the issue of corrupted reconstruction of the fetal brain caused by slice misalignment and blurring of the brain anatomy due to severe motion during MR data collection.
- Combined the MRI acquisition model and a Deep Decoder network to effectively reduce the image artifacts resulting from slice misalignment and motion.
- Outperformed SOTA methods (SVRTK, NiftyMIC, and SSGNN) in five metrics, including a 24% improvement in PSNR, on both simulated and clinical data.
- 2021-present
Self-supervised Slice-to-Volume Registration for Severe Fetal Motion.
- Focused on the challenging task of Slice-to-Volume Registration (SVR), which aligns the slices with severe inter-slice motion to the correct position in the volume.
- Incorporated the MRI acquisition model into the SVR network to accurately predict the spatial transformation matrix aligning 2D slices to 3D volumes.
- Achieved SOTA accuracy of SVR, and improved the performance of downstream fatal MRI reconstruction (based on NeSVoR, etc.) on both simulated and clinical data.
- 2021
Longitudinal Infant Brain MRI Segmentation.
- Investigated different segmentation model designs and extended DenseNet to 3D volumetric data to perform 3D volumetric segmentation.
- Achieved dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 90.325% of three brain tissues across five time points.
Experience
- 2020-2021
Research Intern
NSB BLCTO Technology Vision&Architecture, Bell Labs
