Scintillation camera images contain a large amount of Poisson noise. We have investigated whether noise can be removed in whole-body bone scans using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained with sets of noisy and noiseless images obtained by Mon...
OBJECTIVE: Artificial neural network (ANN) technology has been developed for clinical use to analyze bone scintigraphy with metastatic bone tumors. It has been reported to improve diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility especially in cases of prostat...
OBJECTIVE: Using CT texture analysis and machine learning methods, this study aims to distinguish the lesions imaged via 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT as metastatic and completely responded in pa...
BACKGROUND: Owing to the large variation in treatment response among patients with high-risk prostate cancer, it would be of value to use objective tools to monitor the status of bone metastases during clinical trials. Automated Bone Scan Index (aBSI...
Osteosarcoma is a common malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents under the age of 20. However, research on the pathogenesis and treatment of osteosarcoma is still insufficient. In the present study, based on gene-phenotype correlation networ...
OBJECTIVE: Clinical care guidelines recommend that newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients at high risk for metastatic spread receive a bone scan prior to treatment and that low risk patients not receive it. The objective was to develop an automated...
Pathological estimation of tumor necrosis after chemotherapy is essential for patients with osteosarcoma. This study reports the first fully automated tool to assess viable and necrotic tumor in osteosarcoma, employing advances in histopathology digi...
BACKGROUND: Improved outcome prediction is vital for the delivery of risk-adjusted, appropriate and effective care to paediatric patients with Ewing sarcoma-the second most common paediatric malignant bone tumour. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) sp...
OBJECTIVE: To predict the local recurrence of giant cell bone tumors (GCTB) on MR features and the clinical characteristics after curettage using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN).
PURPOSE: F-NaF PET/CT imaging of bone metastases is confounded by tracer uptake in benign diseases, such as osteoarthritis. The goal of this work was to develop an automated bone lesion classification algorithm to classify lesions in NaF PET/CT image...
