Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an effective tool for diagnosing acute heart failure (AHF). However, several imaging protocols currently exist and how to best use LUS remains undefined. We aimed at developing a lung ultrasound-based model for AHF diagnosis ...
This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in lung pathology, particularly in the diagnosis of lung cancer. It discusses various AI models designed to support pathologists and clinicians. AI m...
Severe COVID-19 can lead to extensive lung disease causing lung architectural distortion. In this study we employed machine learning and statistical atlas-based approaches to explore possible changes in lung shape among COVID-19 patients and evaluate...

BACKGROUND: Lower respiratory tract infections represent prevalent ailments. Nonetheless, current comprehension of the microbial ecosystems within the lower respiratory tract remains incomplete and necessitates further comprehensive assessment. Lever...
OBJECTIVE: Microwave lung ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive and inexpensive alternative cancer treatment for patients who are not candidates for surgery/radiotherapy. However, a major challenge for MWA is its relatively high tumor recurrence rat...
Accurate and early detection of pneumoconiosis using chest X-rays (CXR) is important for preventing the progression of this incurable disease. It is also a challenging task due to large variations in appearance, size and location of lesions in the lu...
The development of automated tools using advanced technologies like deep learning holds great promise for improving the accuracy of lung nodule classification in computed tomography (CT) imaging, ultimately reducing lung cancer mortality rates. Howev...
. Deep learning reconstruction (DLR) algorithms exhibit object-dependent resolution and noise performance. Thus, traditional geometric CT phantoms cannot fully capture the clinical imaging performance of DLR. This study uses a patient-derived 3D-prin...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), as one of the major global health threat diseases, particularly in China, presents a high prevalence and mortality rate. Early diagnosis is crucial for controlling disease progression and improving patien...
Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a dose-limiting toxicity for cancer patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy. As such, it is important to characterize metabolic associations with the early and late stages of RILI, namely pneumonitis and pulmo...
