In the field of diagnosing lung diseases, the application of neural networks (NNs) in image classification exhibits significant potential. However, NNs are considered "black boxes," making it difficult to discern their decision-making processes, ther...
Anatomical abnormality detection and report generation of chest X-ray (CXR) are two essential tasks in clinical practice. The former aims at localizing and characterizing cardiopulmonary radiological findings in CXRs, while the latter summarizes the ...
Unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) is crucial in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). Recent AI technologies, leveraging global features, have enabled effective UAD with minimal training data of normal patients. However, this approach, devoid of ut...
Regional responses to inhaled toxicants are essential to understand the pathogenesis of lung disease under exposure to air pollution. We evaluate the effect of combined allergen sensitization and ozone exposure on eliciting spatial differences in lip...
Concerns regarding chronic injuries (e.g., fibrosis and carcinogenesis) induced by nanoparticles raised public health concerns and need to be rapidly assessed in hazard identification. Although in silico analysis is commonly used for risk assessment ...
4D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) plays a critical role in adaptive radiation therapy for lung cancer. However, extremely sparse sampling projection data will cause severe streak artifacts in 4D CBCT images. Existing deep learning (DL) methods ...
Physicians evaluate a patient's respiratory health during a physical examination by visual assessment of the work of breathing (WoB) to determine respiratory stability, and by detecting abnormal lung sounds via lung auscultation using a stethoscope t...
The increasing use of ionizing radiation has raised concerns about adverse and long-term health risks for individuals. Therefore, to evaluate the range of risks and protection against ionizing radiation, it is necessary to assess the dosimetry calcul...
PURPOSE: This is a preliminary analysis of one of the secondary endpoints in the prospective study cohort. The aim of this study is to assess the image quality and diagnostic confidence for lung cancer of CT images generated by using cadmium-zinc-tel...
