Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used in combination with computed tomography (CT) radiation therapy because MRI improves the accuracy and reliability of target delineation due to its superior soft tissue contrast over CT. The MRI-onl...

Metastasis of solid tumors is a key determinant of cancer patient survival. Targeting micrometastases using nanoparticles could offer a way to stop metastatic tumor growth before it causes excessive patient morbidity. However, nanoparticle delivery t...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a deep learning-based algorithm to automatically identify optimal portal venous phase timing (PVP-timing) so that image analysis techniques can be accurately performed on post contrast studies.
PURPOSE: To compare manual corrections of liver masks produced by a fully automatic segmentation method based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) with manual routine segmentations in MR images in terms of inter-observer variability and interaction...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a proof-of-concept "interpretable" deep learning prototype that justifies aspects of its predictions from a pre-trained hepatic lesion classifier.

PURPOSE: We address the automatic segmentation of healthy and cancerous liver tissues (parenchyma, active and necrotic parts of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumor) on multiphase CT images using a deep learning approach.
Rapid classification of tumors that are detected in the medical images is of great importance in the early diagnosis of the disease. In this paper, a new liver and brain tumor classification method is proposed by using the power of convolutional neur...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a proof-of-concept convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning system (DLS) that classifies common hepatic lesions on multi-phasic MRI.
