BACKGROUND: Evaluation of treated tumors according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria is an important but time-consuming task in medical imaging. Deep learning methods are expected to automate the evaluation process and...

The aim of this study was to develop dual segmentation models for poorly and well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), using two-step transfer learning (TSTL) based on dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) computed tomography (CT) images. From 20...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease in the world. The NAFLD spectrum includes simple steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Genetic, nutritio...
The early sign detection of liver lesions plays an extremely important role in preventing, diagnosing, and treating liver diseases. In fact, radiologists mainly consider Hounsfield Units to locate liver lesions. However, most studies focus on the ana...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model based on quantitative analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) images that predicts early recurrence (ER) after thermal ablation (TA) of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM).
AIMS: The timely diagnosis of different stages in NAFLD is crucial for disease treatment and reversal. We used hepatocellular ballooning to determine different NAFLD stages.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become the 4th leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with high social, economical and health implications. Imaging techniques such as multiphase computed tomography (CT) have been successfully used for diagnosis o...
Microrobots that can be precisely guided to target lesions have been studied for in vivo medical applications. However, existing microrobots have challenges in vivo such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, actuation module, and intra- and postoper...
OBJECTIVES: To compare the image quality and hepatic metastasis detection of low-dose deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) with full-dose filtered back projection (FBP)/iterative reconstruction (IR).
The identification and quantification of liver lesions changes in longitudinal contrast enhanced CT (CECT) scans is required to evaluate disease status and to determine treatment efficacy in support of clinical decision-making. This paper describes a...
