PURPOSE: Vulnerable plaque detection is important to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) diagnosis. In recent years, intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) imaging has been used for vulnerable plaque detection. Current automated detection metho...
Sub-clinical bovine mastitis decreases milk quality and production. Moreover, sub-clinical mastitis leads to the use of antibiotics with consequent increased risk of the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, early detection of infect...
We propose a new method for breast cancer screening from DCE-MRI based on a post-hoc approach that is trained using weakly annotated data (i.e., labels are available only at the image level without any lesion delineation). Our proposed post-hoc metho...
Detection of dysmorphic cells in peripheral blood (PB) smears is essential in diagnostic screening of hematological diseases. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are hematopoietic neoplasms characterized by dysplastic and ineffective hematopoiesis, which...

BACKGROUND: The image-based identification of distinct tissues within dermatological wounds enhances patients' care since it requires no intrusive evaluations. This manuscript presents an approach, we named QTDU, that combines deep learning models wi...
AIM: To test the diagnostic performance of a deep learning-based system for the detection of clinically significant pulmonary nodules/masses on chest radiographs.

BACKGROUND: The ECG remains the most widely used diagnostic test for characterization of cardiac structure and electrical activity. We hypothesized that parallel advances in computing power, machine learning algorithms, and availability of large-scal...
In this white paper, experts from the Digital Pathology Association (DPA) define terminology and concepts in the emerging field of computational pathology, with a focus on its application to histology images analyzed together with their associated pa...
