BACKGROUND: Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT, hereafter abbreviated SCT) is a comprehensive medical terminology used for standardizing the storage, retrieval, and exchange of electronic health data. Some efforts have be...
Prognostic modelling is important in clinical practice and epidemiology for patient management and research. Electronic health records (EHR) provide large quantities of data for such models, but conventional epidemiological approaches require signifi...

Interictal high-frequency oscillations (HFO) are a promising biomarker that can help define the seizure onset zone (SOZ) and predict the surgical outcome after the epilepsy surgery. The utility of HFO in planning the surgery, though, is unclear. Reas...

Attenuation correction is a notable challenge associated with simultaneous PET/MRI, particularly in neuroimaging, where sharp boundaries between air and bone volumes exist. This challenge leads to concerns about the visual and, more specifically, qua...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of quantitative computed tomography (CT) texture analysis using different machine learning (ML) classifiers for discriminating low and high nuclear grade clear cell renal cell carcinomas (cc-RCCs).

Whole-body attenuation correction (AC) is still challenging in combined PET/MR scanners. We describe Dixon-VIBE Deep Learning (DIVIDE), a deep-learning network that allows synthesizing pelvis pseudo-CT maps based only on the standard Dixon volumetric...
The accurate segmentation of the brain surface in post-surgical computed tomography (CT) images is critical for image-guided neurosurgical procedures in epilepsy patients. Following surgical implantation of intracranial electrodes, surgeons require a...
Accurate segmentation of pelvic organs (i.e., prostate, bladder, and rectum) from CT image is crucial for effective prostate cancer radiotherapy. However, it is a challenging task due to: 1) low soft tissue contrast in CT images and 2) large shape an...
