OBJECTIVE: In the automatic lung nodule detection system, the authenticity of a large number of nodule candidates needs to be judged, which is a classification task. However, the variable shapes and sizes of the lung nodules have posed a great challe...

The early identification of malignant pulmonary nodules is critical for a better lung cancer prognosis and less invasive chemo or radio therapies. Nodule malignancy assessment done by radiologists is extremely useful for planning a preventive interve...
We introduce a new computer aided detection and diagnosis system for lung cancer screening with low-dose CT scans that produces meaningful probability assessments. Our system is based entirely on 3D convolutional neural networks and achieves state-of...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early detection of lung cancer is helpful to provide the best possible clinical treatment for patients. Due to the limited number of radiologist and the huge number of chest x-ray radiograph...

Lung cancer postoperative complication prediction (PCP) is significant for decreasing the perioperative mortality rate after lung cancer surgery. In this paper we concentrate on two PCP tasks: (1) the binary classification for predicting whether a pa...
INTRODUCTION: The cardiac radiation dose is an important predictor of cardiac toxicity and overall survival (OS) for patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, radiation-induced cardiac toxicity among patients with ea...
BACKGROUND: Current lung cancer screening guidelines use mean diameter, volume or density of the largest lung nodule in the prior computed tomography (CT) or appearance of new nodule to determine the timing of the next CT. We aimed at developing a mo...
In cancer radiation therapy, large tumor motion due to respiration can lead to uncertainties in tumor target delineation and treatment delivery, thus making active motion management an essential step in thoracic and abdominal tumor treatment. In curr...
