Novel adaptation of video segmentation to 3D MRI: efficient zero-shot knee segmentation with SAM2 • Department of Computer Sciences, CWRU
Authors: AS Yu, M Hariri, X Zhang, M Yang, V Chaudhary, X Li
A zero-shot, single-prompt method for 3D knee MRI segmentation was developed using the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2). By adapting SAM2 to treat MRI slices as video frames, accurate segmentation was achieved without additional training, offering a scalable solution for automated medical image analysis. Supervisor: Dr. Vipin Chaudhary
Empirical comparison of self-configuring and foundational deep-learning segmentation models for identifying the anal sphincter complex and perianal fistulas on pelvic MRI • Department of Biomedical Engineering, CWRU
Authors: A. Sridharana, M. Hariri, M. Kong, I. B. Flannery, S. E. Viswanath
Deep learning and foundation models were compared for segmenting fistula-anal canal anatomy in Crohn’s Disease using Pelvic MRI. While deep learning models effectively segmented the internal sphincter, they showed sub-optimal performance on perianal fistula and external sphincter compared to manual annotations. Supervisor: Dr. Satish Viswanath
Radiomics to Detect Inflammation and Fibrosis on Magnetic Resonance Enterography in Stricturing Crohn’s Disease • Department of Biomedical Engineering, CWRU
Authors: P. Chirra, J. Sleiman, N. S. Gandhi, I. O. Gordon, M. Hariri, M. Baker, R. Ottichilo, D. H. Bruining, J. A. Kurowski, S. E. Viswanath, F. Rieder
Developed a radiomics-based machine-learning model to characterize inflammation and fibrosis in Crohn’s disease strictures using MRE. The model improved diagnostic accuracy compared to radiologist visual scoring, with combined use enhancing performance. Supervisor: Dr. Satish Viswanath
Spatial attention wavelon network (SpAWN) for survival-based risk stratification in kidney cancers via CT • Department of Biomedical Engineering, CWRU
Authors: B. T. Flannery, T. DeSilvio, A. R. Sadri, M. Hariri, E. M. Remer, J. Nguyen, S. E. Viswanath
The Spatial Attention Wavelon Network (SpAWN) is introduced for risk stratification of kidney cancers using CT scans. SpAWN uses pre-training spatial attention and wavelon activation functions to improve model interpretability and generalizability. Supervisor: Dr. Satish Viswanath
Federated Image Quality Assessment of Prostate MRI Scans in a Multi-institutional Setting • Department of Biomedical Engineering, CWRU
