IMPORTANCE: When evaluating surgeons in the operating room, experienced physicians must rely on live or recorded video to assess the surgeon's technical performance, an approach prone to subjectivity and error. Owing to the large number of surgical p...
Deriving accurate structural maps for attenuation correction (AC) of whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) remains challenging. Common problems include truncation, inter-scan motion, and erroneous transformation of structural voxel-intensitie...

In this article, a content-aware specular reflection suppression scheme was developed based on adaptive image inpainting and neural network for endoscopic images. To decrease the impact of specular reflection on visual quality, the proposed scheme co...
PURPOSE: Spread through air space (STAS) is a novel invasive pattern of lung adenocarcinoma and is also a risk factor for recurrence and worse prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. The aims of this study are to develop and validate a computed tomography ...
The extreme variability of the folding pattern of the human cortex makes the recognition of cortical sulci, both automatic and manual, particularly challenging. Reliable identification of the human cortical sulci in its entirety, is extremely difficu...
OBJECTIVE: For real-time markerless tumour tracking in stereotactic lung radiotherapy, we propose a different approach which uses patient-specific deep learning (DL) using a personalised data generation strategy, avoiding the need for collection of a...
