ZENG Qiang (曾强)

I am a postgraduate student at City University of Hong Kong and an research assistant at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. I obtained my Bachelor's degree at Hohai University, College of Computer Science and Software Engineering. I expect to start my PhD studies at Lingnan University, Hong Kong in September 2026.

I primarily work on medical image processing. My work involves 3D/2D registration, object detection, and image segmentation.

    FlowReg FlowReg: Reconstruction-Guided Flow Matching for Universal Spinal CT/X-ray Registration
    Ao Shen, Junfeng Jiang, Xueming Fu, Qiang Zeng, Ye Tang, Zhengming Chen, Luming Nong, Feng Wang, S. Kevin Zhou. 2026 International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI)

    FlowReg is a versatile end-to-end framework for spinal CT/X-ray registration that supports both single- and multi-vertebrae scenarios. It leverages CT volume reconstruction from intraoperative biplanar X-rays as a spatial prior, learns deterministic pose gradients on the SE(3) manifold, and bridges cross-modal gaps with Difference-Aware Feature Fusion.

    MedCenterDet MedCenterDet: A Center-based Object Detection Framework for 3D Medical Image
    Qiang Zeng, Ao Shen, Xiangtong Du, Xiaoyu Xu, Shaohua Zhi, Wufeng Xue, Fei Pan. 2026 International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI)

    MedCenterDet is an anchor-free, center-based object detection framework for 3D medical images. It predicts object centers through heatmap regression, decodes bounding box dimensions with anisotropic Gaussian target generation, and uses Counterfactual Attention Learning plus two-stage refinement for precise localization.

    RadGS-Reg RadGS-Reg: Registering Spine CT with Biplanar X-rays via Joint 3D Radiative Gaussians Reconstruction and 3D/3D Registration
    [Paper] [Code]
    Ao Shen, Xueming Fu, Junfeng Jiang, Qiang Zeng, Ye Tang, Zhengming Chen, Luming Nong, Feng Wang, S. Kevin Zhou. 2025 International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI, Oral)

    Computed Tomography (CT)/X-ray registration in image-guided navigation remains challenging because of its stringent requirements for high accuracy and real-time performance. We introduce RadGS-Reg, a novel framework for vertebral-level CT/X-ray registration through joint 3D Radiative Gaussians (RadGS) reconstruction and 3D/3D registration.

    TIL Prediction Dual-Energy CT Tumour-infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) Prediction in Breast Cancer / 基于双能CT的深度影像组学预测乳腺癌肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(TIL)水平研究
    Undergraduate Thesis

    Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), as a new prognostic biomarker, are of important clinical value and have an association with improved survival rates. We build a multimodal fusion pipeline framework based on CrossTransformer and KNN omics feature screening.

    BMC Segmentation Establishment of AI-assisted diagnosis of the infraorbital posterior ethmoid cells based on deep learning
    [Paper]
    Ting Ni, Xusheng Qian, Qiang Zeng, Yingying Ma, Ziran Xie, Yakang Dai & Zigang Che. BMC Medical Imaging

    We determine whether the patient has the infraorbital posterior ethmoid cells through CT segmentation, assisting doctors in diagnosis. This work is in cooperation with the Department of Otolaryngology of Nanjing Tongren Hospital.

    Vertebral Localization ABLSpineLevelCheck: Localization of Vertebral Levels on Fluoroscopy via Semi-supervised Abductive Learning
    [Paper]
    Junfeng Jiang, Lei Shuai, Qiang Zeng. 2024 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM)

    We introduce an abductive learning mechanism for semi-supervised vertebral localization. The approach combines visual object detection with first-order logic predicate reasoning, improving the recognition rate through logical reasoning.
