Announcing a new paper! Unsupervised Skull Segmentation in MR Images Utilizing Modality Translation and Super-Resolution

DeepImplant

This paper has been published in Scientific Reports (2025). It presents an automated pipeline that translates MR images to CT-like contrast and applies super-resolution to enable accurate, unsupervised skull segmentation, dramatically speeding preparation of 3D skull geometry for implant design. The method reduces reliance on manual labels and improves robustness on clinical data, helping DeepImplant extract bone geometry faster and more reliably.

InnoDiament Award!

DeepImplant

The Master Thesis authored by Kamil Kwarciak has been honored with the prestigious InnoDiament Award! 🏆 This award is given to a single, carefully selected thesis at AGH University of Kraków for its outstanding practical potential - and I had the pleasure to be the supervisor!
Kamil’s thesis, titled “Unsupervised Segmentation of Defective Skulls in Volumetric Data Using Deep Networks Dedicated to Modality Transfer” delves into the innovative approach of automatic skull segmentation from magnetic resonance volumes. By applying unsupervised modality transfer to computed tomography, the thesis demonstrates how skulls can be directly segmented using simple thresholding techniques, without using any ground-truth annotations. This amazing work was part of the DeepImplant project, funded by NCBR.
Adding to this achievement, the thesis also secured 3rd place in the Diamenty AGH competition! 🥉

New paper published! Automatic Skull Reconstruction by Deep Learnable Symmetry Enforcement

DeepImplant

This paper has been published in Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine (2025). It introduces a deep-learning approach that enforces anatomical symmetry to reconstruct missing skull regions automatically, producing plausible implant candidates with minimal manual input. The symmetry-aware model simplifies the CAD modeling step and accelerates the path from imaging to implant-ready designs.

Published — Heavy Data Augmentation Boosts Cranial Defect Reconstruction

DeepImplant

This paper has been published in Computers in Biology and Medicine (2024). It demonstrates that strong, diverse augmentation strategies - from registration-based transforms to latent-diffusion augmentations-— substantially improve reconstruction robustness for rare and noisy defects. The result is faster, more reliable automatic implant modeling that generalizes better to real clinical scans.
