Pneumothorax is a common pulmonary disease that can lead to dyspnea and can be life-threatening. X-ray examination is the main means to diagnose this disease. Computer-aided diagnosis of pneumothorax on chest X-ray, as a prerequisite for a timely cur...
Training convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for segmentation of pulmonary airway, artery, and vein is challenging due to sparse supervisory signals caused by the severe class imbalance between tubular targets and background. We present a CNNs-based...

During the radiotherapy treatment of patients with lung cancer, the radiation delivered to healthy tissue around the tumor needs to be minimized, which is difficult because of respiratory motion and the latency of linear accelerator (LINAC) systems. ...
Cancer patients have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality than the general population. Low dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening offers an opportunity for simultaneous CVD risk estimation in at-risk patients. Ou...
AIM: To compare the performance and reading time of different readers using automatic artificial intelligence (AI)-powered computer-aided detection (CAD) to detect lung nodules in different reading modes.
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether early chest computed tomography (CT) lesions quantified by an artificial intelligence (AI)-based commercial software and blood test values at the initial presentation can differentiate the severity of COVID-19 pneumonia.
With the advance of deep learning technology, convolutional neural network (CNN) has been wildly used and achieved the state-of-the-art performances in the area of medical image classification. However, most existing medical image classification meth...
AIM: To evaluate the role that artificial intelligence (AI) could play in assisting radiologists as the first reader of chest radiographs (CXRs), to increase the accuracy and efficiency of lung cancer diagnosis by flagging positive cases before passi...
Medical image segmentation is a typical task in medical image processing and critical foundation in medical image analysis. U-Net is well-liked in medical image segmentation, but it doesn't fully explore useful features of the channel and capitalize ...
