BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Bone suppression images (BSIs) of chest radiographs (CXRs) have been proven to improve diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. To acquire BSIs, dual-energy subtraction (DES) or a deep-learning-based model trained with DES-based BSI...
This paper proposes a deep-learning-based image enhancement approach that can generate high-resolution micro-CT-like images from multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). A total of 12,500 MDCT and micro-CT image pairs were obtained from 25 vertebral...
Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that is known to affect muscle growth. Detailed investigations of muscle growth require segmentation of muscles from MRI scans, which is typically done manually. In this study, we evaluated the performance o...
Background An artificial intelligence model that assesses primary bone tumors on radiographs may assist in the diagnostic workflow. Purpose To develop a multitask deep learning (DL) model for simultaneous bounding box placement, segmentation, and cla...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to construct an artificial intelligence (AI) guided identification of suspicious bone metastatic lesions from the whole-body bone scintigraphy (WBS) images by convolutional neural networks (CNNs).
