OBJECTIVES: The advantages of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) image simulations, which require enhanced computed tomography (ECT), for anatomical lung resection are well documented. However, the necessity for contrast agent presents a significant...
Purpose To evaluate the performance of eight lung cancer prediction models on patient cohorts with screening-detected, incidentally detected, and bronchoscopically biopsied pulmonary nodules. Materials and Methods This study retrospectively evaluated...
IMPORTANCE: Lung ultrasound (LUS) aids in the diagnosis of patients with dyspnea, including those with cardiogenic pulmonary edema, but requires technical proficiency for image acquisition. Previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of arti...

As CT imaging is increasingly used for the evaluation of lung nodules and the diagnosis and screening of lung cancer in smokers, we have more opportunities to use CT images to identify patients with early-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(C...
Background Detection and segmentation of lung tumors on CT scans are critical for monitoring cancer progression, evaluating treatment responses, and planning radiation therapy; however, manual delineation is labor-intensive and subject to physician ...
Purpose To measure the benefit of single-phase CT, inspiratory-expiratory CT, and clinical data for convolutional neural network (CNN)-based chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) staging. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included...

INTRODUCTION: There is still a lack of clinical evidence comprehensively evaluating the effectiveness of antiviral treatments for COVID-19 hospitalized patients.
Background It is increasingly recognized that interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) detected at CT have potential clinical implications, but automated identification of ILAs has not yet been fully established. Purpose To develop and test automated I...
The licensing of antifibrotic therapy for fibrotic lung diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), has created an urgent need for reliable biomarkers to predict disease progression and treatment response. Some patients experience stable...
