Active learning for multi-label xray classification

In medical image data sets with limited labeled data, active learning approaches can help reduce annotation costs and boost performance of computer-aided diagnosis systems. Based on its previous findings employing interpretability information as inductive bias and as criteria to select informative samples in active learning, the Medical Image Analysis lab has now developed a new graph-based transformer and data augmentation active learning framework for multi-label xray classification.

Aortic root geometry might influence artificial valve thrombosis

Together with the Department of Cardiology at Inselspital the Cardiovascular Engineering group has performed a pilot study suggesting a direct effect of the aortic dimensions on clinically apparent transcatheter heart valve thrombosis (THVT). The team studied fluid-structure interaction in two idealized aortic models, simulating different diameters for the sinotubular junction and ascending aorta.

Femoral neck composition and micromechanical properties

The Musculoskeletal Biomechanics group has recently presented a multimodal framework for human compact bone characterization at the microscale, including the first high-throughput micropillar compressions of human cortical bone. The proposed bone fracture risk classification algorithm together with the output dataset of bone tissue properties can be used for the future comparison of existing methods to evaluate bone quality and better understand the mechanisms through which bone tissue is affected by aging or disease.

Seminar Mental Wellbeing in Academia

Online seminar with Dr. Anna Schueth, Assistant Professor at the Department of Cognitive Neuroscience, Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, on mental health in academia. This informal seminar will feature a short input by the speaker, who has founded an entity to provide mental health support and resources at the University and has spoken on the topic on various occasions. This is followed by an offer for open discussion.
