BACKGROUND: The differential diagnosis of subcentimetre lung nodules with a diameter of less than 1 cm has always been one of the problems of imaging doctors and thoracic surgeons. We plan to create a deep learning model for the diagnosis of pulmonar...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: There has been a significant increase of immunocompromised patients in recent years due to new treatment modalities for previously fatal diseases. This comes at the cost of an elevated risk for infectious diseases, most nota...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of a deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system at detecting pulmonary nodules on CT by comparing radiologists' readings with and without CAD.
Background Deep learning may help to improve computer-aided detection of volume (CADv) measurement of pulmonary nodules at chest CT. Purpose To determine the efficacy of a deep learning method for improving CADv for measuring the solid and ground-gla...
BACKGROUND: Estimation of the risk of malignancy in pulmonary nodules detected by CT is central in clinical management. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) offers an opportunity to improve risk prediction. Here we compare the performance of an AI...
OBJECTIVES: To perform test-retest reproducibility analyses for deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm (DLAD) using two stationary chest radiographs (CRs) with short-term intervals, to analyze influential factors on test-retest variations,...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a deep learning algorithm for automated detection of small F-FDG-avid pulmonary nodules in PET scans, and to assess whether novel block sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM) reco...

PURPOSE: Lung cancer is the commonest cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and its mortality can be reduced significantly by performing early diagnosis and screening. Since the 1960s, driven by the pressing needs to accurately and effectively interpret ...
BACKGROUND: Localization and resection of nonvisible, nonpalpable pulmonary nodules during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is challenging. In this study we developed a surgical navigation puncture robot system in order to locate small pulmonary ...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: We aimed to present a deep learning-based malignancy prediction model (CT-lungNET) that is simpler and faster to use in the diagnosis of small (≤2 cm) pulmonary nodules on nonenhanced chest CT and to preliminarily evaluate i...
