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...
PURPOSE: Medical image segmentation is an essential component of medical image analysis. Accurate segmentation can assist doctors in diagnosis and relieve their fatigue. Although several image segmentation methods based on U-Net have been proposed, t...

Lung cancer remains the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Recent advances in lung cancer screening, radiotherapy, surgical techniques, and systemic therapy have led to increasing complexity in diagnosis, treatment decision-making, and asse...
Lung cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. As early detection can improve outcome, regular screening is of great interest, especially for certain risk groups. Besides low-dose computed tomography, chest X-ray is a potential option for screening...
