Accurate and reliable lung nodule segmentation in computed tomography (CT) images is required for early diagnosis of lung cancer. Some of the difficulties in detecting lung nodules include the various types and shapes of lung nodules, lung nodules ne...
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths throughout the world. Chest computed tomography (CT) is now widely used in the screening and diagnosis of lung cancer due to its effectiveness. Radiologists must identify each smal...
OBJECTIVES: PET/CT is a first-line tool for the diagnosis of lung cancer. The accuracy of quantification may suffer from various factors throughout the acquisition process. The dynamic PET parametric K provides better quantification and improve speci...
Lung cancer is the leading cancer type that causes mortality in both men and women. Computer-aided detection (CAD) and diagnosis systems can play a very important role for helping physicians with cancer treatments. This study proposes a hierarchical ...

BACKGROUND: Hyperpolarized gas MRI can quantify regional lung ventilation via biomarkers, including the ventilation defect percentage (VDP). VDP is computed from segmentations derived from spatially co-registered functional hyperpolarized gas and str...
The segmentation of pulmonary lobes is important in clinical assessment, lesion location, and surgical planning. Automatic lobe segmentation is challenging, mainly due to the incomplete fissures or the morphological variation resulting from lung dise...

Most of the research on disease recognition in chest X-rays is limited to segmentation and classification, but the problem of inaccurate recognition in edges and small parts makes doctors spend more time making judgments. In this paper, we propose a ...
Background Total lung capacity (TLC) has been estimated with use of chest radiographs based on time-consuming methods, such as planimetric techniques and manual measurements. Purpose To develop a deep learning-based, multidimensional model capable of...
