We devise three approaches for label manipulation in the latent space of the trained VAE model; i) \textbf{intra-subject synthesis} aiming to interpolate the intermediate slices of a subject to increase the through-plane resolution, ii) \textbf{inter-subject synthesis} aiming to interpolate the geometry and appearance of intermediate images between two dissimilar subjects acquired with different scanner vendors, and iii) \textbf{pathology synthesis} aiming to synthesize a series of pseudo-pathological synthetic subjects with characteristics of a desired heart disease.

Moreover, the improvement in utilizing synthetic images for augmenting the real data is evident through the reduction of Hausdorff distance up to 28% and an increase in the Dice score up to 5%, indicating a higher similarity to the ground truth in all dimensions.

Using the parameterized motion model of the XCAT heart, we generate labels for 25 time frames of the heart for one cardiac cycle at 18 locations for the short axis view.

In this paper, we combine a deep learning-based rib detection with a dedicated centerline extraction algorithm applied to the detection result for the purpose of fast, robust and accurate rib centerline extraction and labeling from CT volumes.
