Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), as an emergent and severe syndrome due to decreased blood flow in the coronary arteries, is a leading cause of death and serious long-term disability globally. ACS is usually caused by one of three problems: ST elevatio...
BACKGROUND: Pneumothorax can precipitate a life-threatening emergency due to lung collapse and respiratory or circulatory distress. Pneumothorax is typically detected on chest X-ray; however, treatment is reliant on timely review of radiographs. Sinc...
BACKGROUND: Chest radiograph interpretation is critical for the detection of thoracic diseases, including tuberculosis and lung cancer, which affect millions of people worldwide each year. This time-consuming task typically requires expert radiologis...
Renal segmentation is one of the most fundamental and challenging task in computer aided diagnosis systems. In order to overcome the shortcomings of automatic kidney segmentation based on deep network for abdominal CT images, a two-stage semantic seg...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: According to guidelines, endoscopic resection should only be performed for patients whose early gastric cancer invasion depth is within the mucosa or submucosa of the stomach regardless of lymph node involvement. The accurate pre...

Nowadays, there is an abundance of biomedical data, such as images and genetic sequences, among others. However, there is a lack of annotation to such volume of data, due to the high costs involved to perform this task. Thus, it is mandatory to devel...
BACKGROUND: Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a standard tool for identifying ischemia-producing coronary stenosis. However, in clinical practice, over 70% of treatment decisions still rely on visual estimation of angiographic stenosis, which...
The number of images taken per patient scan has rapidly increased due to advances in software, hardware and digital imaging in the medical domain. There is the need for medical image annotation systems that are accurate as manual annotation is imprac...
