Feature selection using ant colony optimization with tandem-run recruitment to diagnose bronchitis from CT scan images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) plays a vital role in the routine clinical activity for the detection of lung disorders using computed tomography (CT) images. It serves as a source of second opinion that radiologists may con...

Multiscale Rotation-Invariant Convolutional Neural Networks for Lung Texture Classification.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
We propose a new multiscale rotation-invariant convolutional neural network (MRCNN) model for classifying various lung tissue types on high-resolution computed tomography. MRCNN employs Gabor-local binary pattern that introduces a good property in im...

Respiratory motion prediction and prospective correction for free-breathing arterial spin-labeled perfusion MRI of the kidneys.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Respiratory motion prediction using an artificial neural network (ANN) was integrated with pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) MRI to allow free-breathing perfusion measurements in the kidney. In this study, we evaluated the perf...

Design and analysis of a tendon-based computed tomography-compatible robot with remote center of motion for lung biopsy.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Nowadays, biopsy is a decisive method of lung cancer diagnosis, whereas lung biopsy is time-consuming, complex and inaccurate. So a computed tomography-compatible robot for rapid and precise lung biopsy is developed in this article. According to the ...

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
INTRODUCTION: To commission the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm based model of CyberKnife robotic stereotactic system (CK) and evaluate the feasibility of patient specific QA using the ArcCHECK cylindrical 3D-array (AC) with Multiplug inserts (MP).

Phantom Validation of Tc-99m Absolute Quantification in a SPECT/CT Commercial Device.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
. Similar to PET, absolute quantitative imaging is becoming available in commercial SPECT/CT devices. This study's goal was to assess quantitative accuracy of activity recovery as a function of image reconstruction parameters and count statistics in ...

EP-DNN: A Deep Neural Network-Based Global Enhancer Prediction Algorithm.

Scientific reports
We present EP-DNN, a protocol for predicting enhancers based on chromatin features, in different cell types. Specifically, we use a deep neural network (DNN)-based architecture to extract enhancer signatures in a representative human embryonic stem c...

Multisource Transfer Learning With Convolutional Neural Networks for Lung Pattern Analysis.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Early diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases is crucial for their treatment, but even experienced physicians find it difficult, as their clinical manifestations are similar. In order to assist with the diagnosis, computer-aided diagnosis systems hav...

Non-small cell lung cancer: quantitative phenotypic analysis of CT images as a potential marker of prognosis.

Scientific reports
This was a retrospective study to investigate the predictive and prognostic ability of quantitative computed tomography phenotypic features in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). 661 patients with pathological confirmed as NSCLC were en...
