This study aims to develop a multi-modality-guided dose prediction (MMDP)-based auto-planning algorithm for functional lung avoidance radiotherapy (FLART) guided by voxel-wise lung function images.The proposed auto-planning algorithm consists of a no...
Six months of drug treatment is standard of care for drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Understanding the factors determining the length of treatment required for durable cure would allow individualization of treatment durations. We conducte...
To investigate the potential application of existing artificial intelligence (AI) software in diagnosing COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) and other pneumonia-related radiographic findings with the unprecedented challenge by COVID-19 pandemic, leve...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine whether unsupervised machine learning was able to discover latent and possibly clinically-relevant clusters, hidden in dynamic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) images within a population of mechanically ventilat...
Airborne micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are now recognized as persistent components of the atmospheric exposome. While their presence is established, their toxicological role remains incompletely understood. In this perspective, we propose the MNP Ex...

Early and accurate detection of pulmonary nodules in computed tomography (CT) scans is critical for reducing lung cancer mortality. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformer-based architectures have been widely used for this task, th...
BACKGROUND: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are associated with accelerated lung function decline and increased mortality. However, early and accurate diagnosis remains clinically challenging due to nonspecific s...
Chest X-rays (CXRs) are widely used for diagnosing respiratory diseases, including the recent example of COVID-19. Supervised deep learning techniques can help detect cases faster and monitor disease progression. However, they are usually developed u...
This study aimed to develop a dataset comprising computed tomography (CT) images and clinical data for melioidosis pneumonia and to utilize machine learning for assisting in prognosis prediction of the disease. We retrospectively analyzed multicenter...
