Remarkable progress has been made in image classification and segmentation, due to the recent study of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). To solve the similar problem of diagnostic lung nodule detection in low-dose computed tomography (CT) sc...
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has already been widely used in medical image processing. We recently make another trial to implement convolutional neural network (CNN) on the classification of pulmonary nodules of thoracic CT images. The biggest chal...
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to assess the performance of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system (INTACT system) for the automatic classification of high-resolution computed tomography images into 4 radiological diagnostic categories a...

Lung cancer is one of the most fatal cancers in the world. If the lung cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage, the survival rate of patients post treatment increases dramatically. Computed Tomography (CT) diagram is an effective tool to detect lun...
This study evaluated the feasibility of using texture analysis and machine learning to distinguish radiographic lung patterns. A total of 1200 regions of interest (ROIs) including four specific lung patterns (normal, alveolar, bronchial, and unstruct...
Deep learning is a genre of machine learning that allows computational models to learn representations of data with multiple levels of abstraction using numerous processing layers. A distinctive feature of deep learning, compared with conventional ma...

Despite being a major cause of morbidity and mortality, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently undiagnosed. Yet the burden of disease among the undiagnosed is significant, as these individuals experience symptoms, exacerbations, a...
INTRODUCTION: Smoking is the leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cotinine is reliable marker of tobacco exposure. We aimed to investigate the relationship between pulmonary function tests (FVC%, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and FEF25-...
