Bio

Praveen joined the Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Department of Radiology as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow where he will be working on predictive and real-time PET image quality monitoring using Machine learning. Previously, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Manchester, UK where he developed an inexpensive imaging & automated analysis system to support early diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani. His Ph.D. research was focused on developing an automated intelligent decision support system for multiple brain disorder diagnosis from MRI scans. His research is mainly in the interdisciplinary field of deep learning and medical image analysis. In particular the application of deep learning models to improve disease prognosis. He completed his Master's in Biomedical Signal Processing & Instrumentation from RV College of Engineering, India. During his master's he worked as a project intern in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc, Bangalore) where he worked on the application of 3D digital image correlation to perform strain analysis on the human body during various physical activities.

    Abstract

    Automatic segmentation of ischemic stroke lesion volumes from multi-spectral Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences plays a vital role in quantifying and locating the lesion region. Most existing methods mainly rely on designing hand-crafted features followed by a classifier model for ischemic stroke lesion segmentation. Design of these features requires complex domain knowledge and often lacks the ability to differentiate between the stroke lesions and the normal classes. In this work, we propose an unsupervised featured learning approach based on stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE) framework for automatically learning the features for accurate segmentation of stroke lesions from brain MR images. A deep architecture is designed using sparse autoencoder (SAE) layers, followed by support vector machine (SVM) classifier for classifying the patches into normal or lesions. We validated our approach on a publicly available Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation (ISLES) 2015 dataset, with a mean precision of 0.968, mean dice coefficient (DC) of 0.943, mean recall of 0.924 and mean accuracy of 0.904. The experimental results show that our proposed approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of precision, DC, and recall. Quantitative evaluation was carried out and compared with the existing approaches, which demonstrates that the proposed method is 25.71%, 36.67%, and 16.96% higher in terms of precision, DC and recall values, respectively. The unsupervised features learned via SSAE framework performs better than the hand-crafted features and can be easily trained on large datasets.
