CE-Net: Context Encoder Network for 2D Medical Image Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Medical image segmentation is an important step in medical image analysis. With the rapid development of a convolutional neural network in image processing, deep learning has been used for medical image segmentation, such as optic disc segmentation, ...

Virtual histological staining of unlabelled tissue-autofluorescence images via deep learning.

Nature biomedical engineering
The histological analysis of tissue samples, widely used for disease diagnosis, involves lengthy and laborious tissue preparation. Here, we show that a convolutional neural network trained using a generative adversarial-network model can transform wi...

Quantifying lung ultrasound comets with a convolutional neural network: Initial clinical results.

Computers in biology and medicine
Lung ultrasound comets are "comet-tail" artifacts appearing in lung ultrasound images. They are particularly useful in detecting several lung pathologies and may indicate the amount of extravascular lung water. However, the comets are not always well...

Predicting radiation pneumonitis in locally advanced stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer using machine learning.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is a radiotherapy dose-limiting toxicity for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). Prior studies have proposed relevant dosimetric constraints to limit this toxicity. Using machine ...

Automatic lung nodule detection using multi-scale dot nodule-enhancement filter and weighted support vector machines in chest computed tomography.

PloS one
A novel CAD scheme for automated lung nodule detection is proposed to assist radiologists with the detection of lung cancer on CT scans. The proposed scheme is composed of four major steps: (1) lung volume segmentation, (2) nodule candidate extractio...

Dominant-Current Deep Learning Scheme for Electrical Impedance Tomography.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning has recently been applied to electrical impedance tomography (EIT) imaging. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges that this approach has to face, e.g., targets with sharp corners or edges cannot be well recovered when...

Segmentation of lung parenchyma in CT images using CNN trained with the clustering algorithm generated dataset.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Lung segmentation constitutes a critical procedure for any clinical-decision supporting system aimed to improve the early diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. Abnormal lungs mainly include lung parenchyma with commonalities on CT ima...

Classification and Quantification of Emphysema Using a Multi-Scale Residual Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Automated tissue classification is an essential step for quantitative analysis and treatment of emphysema. Although many studies have been conducted in this area, there still remain two major challenges. First, different emphysematous tissue appears ...

A Lung Sound Category Recognition Method Based on Wavelet Decomposition and BP Neural Network.

International journal of biological sciences
In this paper, a method of characteristic extraction and recognition on lung sounds is given. Wavelet de-noised method is adopted to reduce noise of collected lung sounds and extract wavelet characteristic coefficients of the de-noised lung sounds by...
