The novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a major pandemic outbreak recently. Various diagnostic technologies have been under active development. The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may induce ...
Conventional machine learning-based methods have been effective in assisting physicians in making accurate decisions and utilized in computer-aided diagnosis for more than 30 years. Recently, deep learning-based methods, and convolutional neural netw...
Four-dimensional (4D) cone-beam CT (CBCT) reconstructs temporally-resolved phases of 3D volumes often with the same amount of projection data that are meant for reconstructing a single 3D volume. 4D CBCT is a sparse-data problem that is very challeng...
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer screening with chest computed tomography (CT) reduces lung cancer death. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening with CT require detailed smoking information and miss many ...
IMPORTANCE: The improvement of pulmonary nodule detection, which is a challenging task when using chest radiographs, may help to elevate the role of chest radiographs for the diagnosis of lung cancer.
A new computer-aided detection scheme is proposed, the 3D U-Net convolutional neural network, based on multiscale features of transfer learning to automatically detect pulmonary nodules from the thoracic region containing background and noise. The te...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: A more accurate lung nodule detection algorithm is needed. We developed a modified three-dimensional (3D) U-net deep-learning model for the automated detection of lung nodules on chest CT images. The purpose of this study wa...
Chest CT is emerging as a valuable diagnostic tool for clinical management of COVID-19 associated lung disease. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to aid in rapid evaluation of CT scans for differentiation of COVID-19 findings from other ...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread globally, and medical resources become insufficient in many regions. Fast diagnosis of COVID-19 and finding high-risk patients with worse prognosis for early prevention and medical resource optimisation ...
BACKGROUND: The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated that annual screening with low dose CT in high-risk population was associated with reduction in lung cancer mortality. Nonetheless, the leading cause of mortality in the study was from...
