OBJECTIVE: Chest CT can display the main pathogenic factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema and airway wall remodeling. This study aims to establish deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models using these two imaging mar...
BACKGROUND: The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated that annual screening with low dose CT in high-risk population was associated with reduction in lung cancer mortality. Nonetheless, the leading cause of mortality in the study was from...

Segmentation and quantification of each subtype of emphysema is helpful to monitor chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Due to the nature of emphysema (diffuse pulmonary disease), it is very difficult for experts to allocate semantic labels to ever...
Volumetric imaging is an essential diagnostic tool for medical practitioners. The use of popular techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) for analysis of volumetric images is constrained by the availability of detailed (with local annot...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to ascertain the predictive value of quantifying emphysema using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) post deep learning-based kernel adaptation on long-term mortality.

Cardiothoracic diseases are a serious threat to human health and chest X-ray image is a great reference in diagnosis and treatment. At present, it has been a research hot-spot how to recognize chest X-ray image automatically and exactly by the comput...
PURPOSE: The noise generated in ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (U-HRCT) images affects the quantitative analysis of emphysema. In this study, we compared the physical properties of reconstructed images for hybrid iterative reconstruction (...
