Detecting lung pathologies is critical for precise medical diagnosis. In the realm of diagnostic methods, various approaches, including imaging tests, physical examinations, and laboratory tests, contribute to this process. Of particular note, imagin...
OBJECTIVES: There is a need for CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) lung segmentation models. Clinical translation requires radiological evaluation of model outputs, understanding of limitations, and identification of failure points. This multicentre stu...
In recent days, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) require more attention since they require specialized infrastructure for treatment. As per the cancer population registry estimate, nearly 800,000 new cancer cases will be detected yearly. The statisti...
. To propose lung contour deformation features (LCDFs) as a surrogate to estimate the thoracic internal target motion, and to report their performance by correlating with the changing body using a cascade ensemble model (CEM). LCDFs, correlated to th...
INTRODUCTION: Asbestos is a global occupational health hazard, and exposure to it by inhalation predisposes to interstitial as well as malignant pulmonary morbidity. Over time, asbestos fibers embedded in lung tissue can become coated with iron-rich ...
PURPOSE: Patients with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) need to be placed in Trendelenburg position, which results in cranial displacement of the diaphragm and decreases functional residual capacity and pulmonary compliance. P...

OBJECTIVES: The CyberKnife system is a robotic radiosurgery platform that allows the delivery of lung SBRT treatments using fiducial-free soft-tissue tracking. However, not all lung cancer patients are eligible for lung tumor tracking. Tumor size, de...
BACKGROUND: Real-time tumor tracking is one motion management method to address motion-induced uncertainty. To date, fiducial markers are often required to reliably track lung tumors with X-ray imaging, which carries risks of complications and leads ...

Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an important imaging modality used by emergency physicians to assess pulmonary congestion at the patient bedside. B-line artifacts in LUS videos are key findings associated with pulmonary congestion. Not only can the interpre...
OBJECTIVES: With the popularization of chest computed tomography (CT) screening, there are more sub-centimeter (≤ 1 cm) pulmonary nodules (SCPNs) requiring further diagnostic workup. This area represents an important opportunity to optimize the SCPN ...
