Pulmonary nodule false-positive reduction is of great significance for automated nodule detection in clinical diagnosis of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening. Due to individual intra-nodule variations and visual similarities be...
BACKGROUND: Random forests (RF) is a widely used machine-learning algorithm, and outperforms many other machine learning algorithms in prediction-accuracy. But it is rarely used for predicting causes of death (COD) in cancer patients. On the other ha...
IMPORTANCE: An end-to-end efficacy evaluation approach for identifying progression risk after epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in patients with stage IV EGFR variant-positive non-small cell lung cancer (...
OBJECTIVE: To explore the natural history of pulmonary subsolid nodules (SSNs) with different pathological types by deep learning-assisted nodule segmentation.

PURPOSE: Contouring inconsistencies are known but understudied in clinical radiation therapy trials. We applied auto-contouring to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0617 dose escalation trial data. We hypothesized that the trial heart doses...
BACKGROUND: Protein kinases are a large family of druggable proteins that are genomically and proteomically altered in many human cancers. Kinase-targeted drugs are emerging as promising avenues for personalized medicine because of the differential r...

INTRODUCTION: Our markerless tumor tracking algorithm requires 4DCT data to train models. 4DCT cannot be used for markerless tracking for respiratory-gated treatment due to inaccuracies and a high radiation dose. We developed a deep neural network (D...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to create an algorithm to detect and classify pulmonary nodules in two categories based on their volume greater than 100 mm or not, using machine learning and deep learning techniques.
Radiomics is defined as the use of automated or semi-automated post-processing and analysis of multiple features derived from imaging exams. Extracted features might generate models able to predict the molecular profile of solid tumors. The aim of th...
