The Covid-19 European outbreak in February 2020 has challenged the world's health systems, eliciting an urgent need for effective and highly reliable diagnostic instruments to help medical personnel. Deep learning (DL) has been demonstrated to be use...
We are developing imaging methods for a co-clinical trial investigating synergy between immunotherapy and radiotherapy. We perform longitudinal micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) of mice to detect lung metastasis after treatment. This work explores...
Lung cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancers and is often diagnosed by performing biopsies with the use of a bronchoscope. However, this diagnostic procedure is limited in ability to explore deep into the periphery of the lung where cancer ca...

This paper presents and explores a robust deep learning framework for auscultation analysis. This aims to classify anomalies in respiratory cycles and detect diseases, from respiratory sound recordings. The framework begins with front-end feature ext...
Background Determining the activity of pulmonary tuberculosis on chest radiographs is difficult. Purpose To develop a deep learning model to identify active pulmonary tuberculosis on chest radiographs. Materials and Methods Chest radiographs were ret...
PURPOSE: To improve the image quality of inflated fixed cadaveric human lungs by utilizing ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (U-HRCT) as a training dataset for super-resolution processing using deep learning (SR-DL).

Researchers seek help from deep learning methods to alleviate the enormous burden of reading radiological images by clinicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, clinicians are often reluctant to trust deep models due to their black-box character...
BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is very contagious. Cases appear faster than the available Polymerase Chain Reaction test kits in many countries. Recently, lung computerized tomography (CT) has been used as an auxiliary COVID-19 testi...
