BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chest wall toxicity is observed after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for peripherally located lung tumors. We utilize machine learning algorithms to identify toxicity predictors to develop dose-volume constraints.
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related fatality in the world. Patients display few or even no signs or symptoms in the early stages, resulting in up to 75% of patients diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. Consequently, th...
Multi-class classification has attracted much attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment and many machine learning methods have emerged for addressing this issue recently. However, class imbalance and gene selection problems occur in classifying lun...

Ground-glass opacity (GGO) is a common CT imaging sign on high-resolution CT, which means the lesion is more likely to be malignant compared to common solid lung nodules. The automatic recognition of GGO CT imaging signs is of great importance for ea...
If Electronic Health Records contain a large amount of information about the patient's condition and response to treatment, which can potentially revolutionize the clinical practice, such information is seldom considered due to the complexity of its ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In medical examinations doctors use various techniques in order to provide to the patients an accurate analysis of their actual state of health. One of the commonly used methodologies is the x-ray screening. This examination...
We aimed to evaluate a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system for lung nodule classification focussing on (i) usefulness of the conventional CADx system (hand-crafted imaging feature + machine learning algorithm), (ii) comparison between support vect...
