PURPOSE: To compare image quality of contrast-enhanced abdominal-CT using 1st-generation Dual Source Photon-Counting Detector CT (DS-PCD-CT) versus 2nd-generation Dual-Source Energy Integrating-Detector CT (DS-EID-CT) in patients with BMI ≥ 25, apply...
PURPOSE: Abdominal ultrasound screening requires the capture of multiple standardized plane views as per clinical guidelines. Currently, the extent of adherence to such guidelines is dependent entirely on the skills of the sonographer. The use of neu...
BACKGROUND: Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is a standard method for diagnosing and treating small bowel disease. However, DBE may yield false-negative results due to oversight or inexperience. We aim to develop a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) sys...
A novel 3D nnU-Net-based of algorithm was developed for fully-automated multi-organ segmentation in abdominal CT, applicable to both non-contrast and post-contrast images. The algorithm was trained using dual-energy CT (DECT)-obtained portal venous p...

The extraction of abdominal structures using deep learning has recently experienced a widespread interest in medical image analysis. Automatic abdominal organ and vessel segmentation is highly desirable to guide clinicians in computer-assisted diagno...
Recognizing the most relevant seven organs in an abdominal computed tomography (CT) slice requires sophisticated knowledge. This study proposed automatically extracting relevant features and applying them in a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) sys...
Oncology has emerged as a crucial field of study in the domain of medicine. Computed tomography has gained widespread adoption as a radiological modality for the identification and characterisation of pathologies, particularly in oncology, enabling p...
Purpose To compare the image quality and diagnostic capability in detecting malignant liver tumors of low-dose CT (LDCT, 33% dose) with deep learning-based denoising (DLD) and standard-dose CT (SDCT, 100% dose) with model-based iterative reconstructi...
