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...

PURPOSE: Deep learning has recently shown its outstanding performance in biomedical image semantic segmentation. Most biomedical semantic segmentation frameworks comprise the encoder-decoder architecture directly fusing features of the encoder and th...
OBJECTIVES: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of texture analysis (TA)-derived parameters combined with machine learning (ML) of non-contrast-enhanced T1w and T2w fat-saturated (fs) images with MR elastography (MRE) for liver fibrosis quantification...

OBJECTIVE: Herein, a neural network-based liver segmentation algorithm is proposed, and its performance was evaluated using abdominal computed tomography (CT) images.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether the liver and spleen volumetric indices, measured on portal venous phase CT images, could be used to assess liver fibrosis severity in chronic liver disease.

The drugs we use to cure our diseases can cause damage to the liver as it is the primary organ responsible for metabolism of environmental chemicals and drugs. To identify and eliminate potentially problematic drug candidates in the early stages of d...
Organ chips can recapitulate organ-level (patho)physiology, yet pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses require multi-organ systems linked by vascular perfusion. Here, we describe an 'interrogator' that employs liquid-handling robotics, custom s...
Drug-induced liver injury is a major concern in the drug development process. Expensive and time-consuming and studies do not reflect the complexity of the phenomenon. Complementary to wet lab methods are approaches, which present a cost-efficient...
OBJECTIVES: To propose a transfer learning (TL) radiomics model that efficiently combines the information from gray scale and elastogram ultrasound images for accurate liver fibrosis grading.
