Robotic assisted bronchoscopy represents a major turning point in bronchoscopic history. The management strategies to address significant airway bleeding in this "robotic era" are not well documented, and further guidance is required. We present a ca...
INTRODUCTION: The breakdown of a deadly infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (named SARS n-CoV2) back in December 2019 has shown no respite to slow or stop in general. This contagious disease has spread across different lengths...

This paper presents an automatic lobe-based labeling of airway tree method, which can detect the bifurcation points for reconstructing and labeling the airway tree from a computed tomography image. A deep learning-based network structure is designed ...
Morphology reconstruction of tree-like structures in volumetric images, such as neurons, retinal blood vessels, and bronchi, is of fundamental interest for biomedical research. 3D branch points play an important role in many reconstruction applicatio...
Human lungs are susceptible to the toxicity induced by soluble xenobiotics. However, the direct cellular effects of many pulmonotoxic chemicals are not always clear, and thus, a general in vitro assay for testing pulmonotoxicity applicable to a wide ...
