The aortic vessel tree is composed of the aorta and its branching arteries, and plays a key role in supplying the whole body with blood. Aortic diseases, like aneurysms or dissections, can lead to an aortic rupture, w...

State-of-the-art deep learning algorithms are easily biased and evaluated in misleading scenarios, especially in the medical context, where scenarios change rapidly and diseases develop quickly. The BraTS 2024 GoAT challenge aims to evaluate how brain tumour segmentation algorithms can adapt to different circumstances when these are not available for training. Our solution utilises state-of-the-art conditional generative adversarial networks to generate realistic new cases and train a segmentation algorithm that takes advantage of the convolutions and attention mechanisms. Our solution achieved a DSC value of 0.855, 0.863, 0.883 and an HD95 value of 24.83, 24.10 and 21.72 for the enhancing tumour, the tumour core and the whole tumour in the validation set, respectively.
This paper presents the winning solution of task 1 and the third-placed solution of task 3 of the BraTS challenge. The use of automated tools in clinical practice has increased due to the development of more and more ...

Blazars are attractive objects for astronomers to observe in order to burrow into the magnetic field in the relativistic jet. This paper presents TimeTubes as a novel visualization scheme that allows astronomers to interactively explore characteristic temporal variation patterns in observed blazar datasets. In the TimeTubes spatialization, the two Stokes parameters and their errors with a common timestamp are transformed into an ellipse. A series of such ellipses are aligned in parallel along the timeline to form a 3D volumetric tube. The resulting tube is then colorized by the observed intensities and colors of the blazar, and finally volume-rendered. A designated user interface is provided with visual exploration functions according to Shneiderman's Visual Information Seeking Mantra. In the latest version, an auxiliary mechanism, called visual data fusion, was incorporated to ameliorate data- and mapping-inherent uncertainties for more efficient and effective visual exploration.

The aortic vessel tree, composed of the aorta and its branches, is crucial for blood supply to the body. Aortic diseases, such as aneurysms and dissections, can lead to life-threatening ruptures, often requiring open surgery. Therefore, patients commonly undergo treatment under constant monitoring, which requires regular inspections of the vessels through medical imaging techniques. Overlapping and comparing aortic vessel tree geometries from consecutive images allows for tracking changes in both the aorta and its branches. Manual reconstruction of the vessel tree is time-consuming and impractical in clinical settings. In contrast, automatic or semi-automatic segmentation algorithms can perform this task much faster, making them suitable for routine clinical use. This paper systematically reviews methods for the automatic and semi-automatic segmentation of the aortic vessel tree, concluding with a discussion on their clinical applicability, the current research landscape, and ongoing challenges.
