Pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) on chest CT representing invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) warrant lobectomy with lymph node resection. For pGGNs representing other entities, close follow-up or sublobar resection without node dissection may be appropr...
PURPOSE: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), which assists in the interpretation of chest radiographs, is becoming common. However, few studies have evaluated the benefits and pitfalls of CAD in the real world. This study aimed to evaluate the independen...
Screening programs for early lung cancer diagnosis are uncommon, primarily due to the challenge of reaching at-risk patients located in rural areas far from medical facilities. To overcome this obstacle, a comprehensive approach is needed that combin...
Functional lung imaging modalities such as hyperpolarized gas MRI ventilation enable visualization and quantification of regional lung ventilation; however, these techniques require specialized equipment and exogenous contrast, limiting clinical adop...
. Respiration introduces a constant source of irregular motion that poses a significant challenge for the precise irradiation of thoracic and abdominal cancers. Current real-time motion management strategies require dedicated systems that are not ava...

PURPOSE: Medical imaging can be used to estimate a patient's biological age, which may provide complementary information to clinicians compared to chronological age. In this study, we aimed to develop a method to estimate a patient's age based on the...
BACKGROUND: The main application of [18F] FDG-PET ( FDG-PET) and CT images in oncology is tumor identification and quantification. Combining PET and CT images to mine pulmonary perfusion information for functional lung avoidance radiation therapy (FL...
Lung cancer is a serious disease responsible for millions of deaths every year. Early stages of lung cancer can be manifested in pulmonary lung nodules. To assist radiologists in reducing the number of overseen nodules and to increase the detection a...
