OBJECTIVE: Lung cancer is one of the unsafe diseases for human which reduces the patient life time. Generally, most of the lung cancers are identified after it has been spread into the lung parts and moreover it is difficult to find the lung cancer a...
The rapid outbreak of coronavirus threatens humans' life all around the world. Due to the insufficient diagnostic infrastructures, developing an accurate, efficient, inexpensive, and quick diagnostic tool is of great importance. To date, researchers ...
World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) as pandemic on March 11, 2020. Ever since then, the virus is undergoing different mutations, with a high rate of dissemination. The diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19 are c...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To develop a novel deep learning algorithm of sequential analysis, Seq2Seq, for predicting weekly anatomical changes of lung tumor and esophagus during definitive radiotherapy, incorporate the potential tumor shrinkage into a ...
OBJECTIVE: Chest CT can display the main pathogenic factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema and airway wall remodeling. This study aims to establish deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models using these two imaging mar...
Delineation of relevant normal tissues is a bottleneck in image-guided precision radiotherapy workflows for small animals. A deep learning (DL) model for automatic contouring using standardized 3D micro cone-beam CT (CBCT) volumes as input is propose...
Identifying the lung carcinoma subtype in small biopsy specimens is an important part of determining a suitable treatment plan but is often challenging without the help of special and/or immunohistochemical stains. Pathology image analysis that tackl...
Spirometers are important devices for following up patients with respiratory diseases. These are mainly located only at hospitals, with all the disadvantages that this can entail. This limits their use and consequently, the supervision of patients. R...
X-ray imaging is a widely used approach to view the internal structure of a subject for clinical diagnosis, image-guided interventions and decision-making. The X-ray projections acquired at different view angles provide complementary information of p...
