OBJECTIVES: A malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common complication in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with important staging and prognostic information. Patients with MPEs are often candidates for advanced therapies, however, the current gold...
OBJECTIVES: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) has a poor prognosis. Most patients are treated with tube thoracostomy and sclerotherapy, although its success rate is around 64%. We have investigated intrapleural perfusion with hyperthermic chemotherapy...

Pulmonary fissure segmentation is important for localization of lung lesions which include nodules at respective lobar territories. This can be very useful for diagnosis as well as treatment planning. In this paper, we propose a novel coarse-to-fine ...
OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that published performances of algorithms for artificial intelligence (AI) pneumothorax (PTX) detection in chest radiographs (CXRs) do not sufficiently consider the influence of PTX size and confounding effects caused by t...
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common, but under-recognised, critical illness syndrome associated with high mortality. An important factor in its under-recognition is the variability in chest radiograph interpretation for...
Lung cancer patients with malignant pleural effusions (MPE) have a particular poor prognosis. It is crucial to distinguish MPE from benign pleural effusion (BPE). The present study aims to develop a rapid, convenient and economical diagnostic method ...
