PURPOSE: Pulmonary perfusion imaging is a key lung health indicator with clinical utility as a diagnostic and treatment planning tool. However, current nuclear medicine modalities face challenges like low spatial resolution and long acquisition times...
BACKGROUND: The sensitivity of reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is limited for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Chest computed tomography (CT) is reported to have high sensitivity; how...

The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of the semantic segmentation model in predicting cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) and heart enlargement and compare its consistency with the reference standard. A total of 650 consecutive chest rad...
PURPOSE: Compare the impact of photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) to conventional CT on an interstitial lung disease (ILD) quantitative machine learning (QML) model.
PURPOSE: This study was designed to construct progressive binary classification models based on radiomics and deep learning to predict the presence of epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) and TP53 mutations and to assess the models' capacities t...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of ultra-low dose (ULD) chest computed tomography (CT), with a radiation exposure equivalent to a 2-view chest x-ray, for pulmonary nodule detection using deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR).

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been implemented to improve the diagnostic yield and operators' skills within endoscopy. Similar AI systems are now emerging in bronchoscopy. Our objective was to identify and describe AI systems ...
PURPOSE: To explore the effect of different reconstruction algorithms (ASIR-V and DLIR) on image quality and emphysema quantification in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients under ultra-low-dose scanning conditions.
