PURPOSE: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a frequently occurring condition defined by narrowing of the spinal or nerve root canal due to degenerative changes. Physicians use MRI scans to determine the severity of stenosis, occasionally complementing i...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model for brain region parcellation using CT data from PET/CT scans to enable accurate amyloid quantification in 18 F-FBB PET/CT without relying on high-resolution MRI.
AIM: Prospective outcome prediction plays a crucial role in guiding preoperative decision-making in patients with Chiari malformation type I (CM-Ⅰ) with syringomyelia. Here, we aimed to develop a predictive model for postoperative outcomes in patient...
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is a noninvasive technique pivotal for understanding human neural mechanisms of intricate cognitive processes. Most rs-fMRI studies compute a single static functional connectivity matrix a...
PURPOSE: Sex classification is a major benchmark of previous work in learning on the structural connectome, a naturally occurring brain graph that has proven useful for studying cognitive function and impairment. While graph neural networks (GNNs), s...
PURPOSE: Distinguishing between Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and Osteoarthritis (OA) can be subjective and vary between users with different backgrounds and expertise. This study aimed to construct and evaluate several Radiomics-based mac...

PURPOSE: This literature review aims to synthesise current research on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for the segmentation of brain neuroanatomical structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
In the field of medical imaging, particularly MRI-based brain tumor classification, we propose an advanced convolutional neural network (CNN) leveraging the DenseNet-121 architecture, enhanced with dilated convolutional layers and Squeeze-and-Excitat...
