Pulmonary fibrosis is a severe chronic lung disease that causes irreversible scarring in the tissues of the lungs, which results in the loss of lung capacity. The Forced Vital Capacity () of the patient is an interesting measure to investigate this d...
Pulmonary nodules are the main manifestation of early lung cancer. Therefore, accurate detection of nodules in CT images is vital for lung cancer diagnosis. A 3D automatic detection system of pulmonary nodules based on multi-scale attention networks ...
Background Ultra-low-dose (ULD) CT could facilitate the clinical implementation of large-scale lung cancer screening while minimizing the radiation dose. However, traditional image reconstruction methods are associated with image noise in low-dose ac...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Automatic airway segmentation from chest computed tomography (CT) scans plays an important role in pulmonary disease diagnosis and computer-assisted therapy. However, low contrast at peripheral branches and complex tree-lik...
Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest fatality rate and nearest to our lives. It poses a great threat to human health and it mainly occurs in smokers. In our country, with the acceleration of industrialization, environmental pol...
The efforts made to prevent the spread of COVID-19 face specific challenges in diagnosing COVID-19 patients and differentiating them from patients with pulmonary edema. Although systemically administered pulmonary vasodilators and acetazolamide are o...

This study was aimed at exploring the treatment of asthma children with small airway obstruction in CT imaging features of deep learning and glucocorticoid. A total of 145 patients meeting the requirements in hospital were included in this study, and...
PURPOSE: Our objective was to evaluate whether the normal lung index (NLI) from quantitative computed tomography (QCT) analysis can be used to predict mortality as well as pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary...
BACKGROUND: The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 pneumonia has brought a heavy disaster to individuals globally. Facing this new virus, the clinicians have no automatic tools to assess the severity of pneumonia patients.
