Freehand 3-D ultrasound imaging is emerging as a promising modality for regular spine exams due to its noninvasiveness and affordability. The laminae landmarks play a critical role in depicting the 3-D shape of the spine. However, the extraction of t...
BACKGROUND: Radiation-induced pneumonitis affects up to 33% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, with fatal pneumonitis occurring in 2% of patients. Pneumonitis risk is related to the dose and volume of lung irradiated. Clinical radiothera...
The circle of Willis (CoW) is a network of cerebral arteries with significant inter-individual anatomical variations. Deep learning has been used to characterize and quantify the status of the CoW in various applications for the diagnosis and treatme...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tool for automated segmentation of the pulp cavity system of mandibular molars on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
BACKGROUND: Histomorphometry is currently the gold standard for bone microarchitectural examinations. This relies on two-dimensional (2D) sections to deduce the spatial properties of structures. Micromorphometric parameters are calculated from these ...

Advancements in medical imaging and endovascular grafting have facilitated minimally invasive treatments for aortic diseases. Accurate 3D segmentation of the aorta and its branches is crucial for interventions, as inaccurate segmentation can lead to ...
While advances in single-particle cryo-EM have enabled the structural determination of macromolecular complexes at atomic resolution, particle orientation bias (the 'preferred' orientation problem) remains a complication for most specimens. Existing ...
