PURPOSE: Tumors often have different imaging properties, and there is no single imaging modality that can visualize all tumors. In CT-guided needle placement procedures, image fusion (e.g. with MRI, PET, or contrast CT) is often used as image guidanc...
Segmentation of normal organs is a critical and time-consuming process in radiotherapy. Auto-segmentation of abdominal organs has been made possible by the advent of the convolutional neural network. We utilized the U-Net, a 3D-patch-based convolutio...
Gene expression analysis plays a significant role for providing molecular insights in cancer. Various genetic and epigenetic factors (being dealt under multi-omics) affect gene expression giving rise to cancer phenotypes. A recent growth in understan...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor in China. In the present study, we aimed to construct and verify a prediction model of recurrence in HCC patients using databases (TCGA, AMC and Inserm) and machine learning methods and obtai...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate the performance of a fully-automated convolutional neural network (CNN)-based algorithm to evaluate hepatobiliary phase (HBP) adequacy of gadoxetate disodium (EOB)-enhanced MRI. Secondarily, we explored the potential ...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop quantitative feature-based models from histopathological images to distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from adjacent normal tissue and predict the prognosis of HCC patients after surgical resecti...
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to establish and validate an artificial intelligence-based radiomics strategy for predicting personalized responses of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to first transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) session by quantitatively analy...
