Analysis of the vascular tree is the basic premise to automatically diagnose retinal biomarkers associated with ophthalmic and systemic diseases, among which accurate identification of intersection and bifurcation points is quite challenging but impo...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based denoiser is to increase the diagnostic accuracy of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) imaging. To increase diagnostic accuracy, there is a need for a method that reflects the feat...
Advanced visualization techniques such as maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) are useful for evaluating neurovascular anatomy on CT angiography (CTA) of the brain; however, interference from surrounding osseous anatomy is com...
The segmentation of cranial nerves (CNs) tracts based on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) provides a valuable quantitative tool for the analysis of the morphology and course of individual CNs. Tractography-based approaches can describe and...
PURPOSE: To investigate the use of an 80-kVp tube voltage combined with a deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for overweight patients to reduce radiation and contrast doses in comparison with the 120-...
Cone-beam CT (CBCT)-based online adaptive radiotherapy calls for accurate auto-segmentation to reduce the time cost for physicians. However, deep learning (DL)-based direct segmentation of CBCT images is a challenging task, mainly due to the poor ima...
Automatic breast ultrasound image segmentation helps radiologists to improve the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis. In recent years, the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved great success in medical image analysis. However, it exhibit...
In modern agricultural production, the severity of diseases is an important factor that directly affects the yield and quality of plants. In order to effectively monitor and control the entire production process of plants, not only the type of diseas...
The placenta is crucial to fetal well-being and it plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of hypertensive pregnancy disorders. Moreover, a timely diagnosis of placenta previa may save lives. Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality in pregnan...
