Automatic coronavirus disease 2019 diagnosis based on chest radiography and deep learning - Success story or dataset bias?

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Over the last 2 years, the artificial intelligence (AI) community has presented several automatic screening tools for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on chest radiography (CXR), with reported accuracies often well over 90%. However...

Reconstruction of three-dimensional tomographic patient models for radiation dose modulation in CT from two scout views using deep learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: A tomographic patient model is essential for radiation dose modulation in x-ray computed tomography (CT). Currently, two-view scout images (also known as topograms) are used to estimate patient models with relatively uniform attenuation c...

Noise reduction profile: A new method for evaluation of noise reduction techniques in CT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Noise power spectrum (NPS) is a commonly used performance metric to evaluate noise-reduction techniques (NRT) in imaging systems. The images reconstructed with and without an NRT can be compared via their NPS to better understand the NRT's e...

Progressive attention module for segmentation of volumetric medical images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Medical image segmentation is critical for many medical image analysis applications. 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely adopted in the segmentation of volumetric medical images. The recent development of channelwise and...

A deep learning method for eliminating head motion artifacts in computed tomography.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Involuntary patient movement results in data discontinuities during computed tomography (CT) scans which lead to a serious degradation in the image quality. In this paper, we specifically address artifacts induced by patient motion during a ...

RootPainter3D: Interactive-machine-learning enables rapid and accurate contouring for radiotherapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Organ-at-risk contouring is still a bottleneck in radiotherapy, with many deep learning methods falling short of promised results when evaluated on clinical data. We investigate the accuracy and time-savings resulting from the use of an inte...

Vocal cord lesions classification based on deep convolutional neural network and transfer learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Laryngoscopy, the most common diagnostic method for vocal cord lesions (VCLs), is based mainly on the visual subjective inspection of otolaryngologists. This study aimed to establish a highly objective computer-aided VCLs diagnosis system ba...

Deep multi-instance transfer learning for pneumothorax classification in chest X-ray images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Pneumothorax is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate treatment. Frontal-view chest X-ray images are typically used for pneumothorax detection in clinical practice. However, manual review of radiographs is time-consuming, labo...

A review of explainable and interpretable AI with applications in COVID-19 imaging.

Medical physics
The development of medical imaging artificial intelligence (AI) systems for evaluating COVID-19 patients has demonstrated potential for improving clinical decision making and assessing patient outcomes during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. These have ...

Automatic upper airway segmentation in static and dynamic MRI via anatomy-guided convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Upper airway segmentation on MR images is a prerequisite step for quantitatively studying the anatomical structure and function of the upper airway and surrounding tissues. However, the complex variability of intensity and shape of anatomica...
