Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) concerns the serious decline of human lung functions. These have emerged as one of the most concerning health conditions over the last two decades, after cancer around the world. The early diagnosis of COP...

BACKGROUND: Manual measurement of endobronchial optical coherence tomography (EB-OCT) images means a heavy workload in the clinical practice, which can also introduce bias if the subjective opinions of doctors are involved.
Background CT is the standard method used to assess bronchiectasis. A higher airway-to-artery diameter ratio (AAR) is typically used to identify enlarged bronchi and bronchiectasis; however, current imaging methods are limited in assessing the extent...
PURPOSE: Using ultra-high-resolution images reconstructed with the Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) lung to measure wall area percentage (WA%), we demonstrated that WA% measured in more distal bronchus has a stronger correlation with respi...
This research aimed to investigate the diagnostic effect of computed tomography (CT) images based on a deep learning double residual convolution neural network (DRCNN) model on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the related risk factors...
Background Preexisting indexes for predicting the prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) do not use radiologic information and are impractical because they involve complex history assessments or exercise tests. Purpose To develop a...
Background Visual assessment remains the standard for evaluating emphysema at CT; however, it is time consuming, is subjective, requires training, and is affected by variability that may limit sensitivity to longitudinal change. Purpose To evaluate t...

BACKGROUND: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has proven to be an invaluable asset in the healthcare domain, where massive amounts of data are produced. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous chronic condition with multiscale mani...
OBJECTIVES: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is underdiagnosed globally. The present study aimed to develop weakly supervised deep learning (DL) models that utilize computed tomography (CT) image data for the automated detection and stagi...
OBJECTIVE: Chest CT can display the main pathogenic factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema and airway wall remodeling. This study aims to establish deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models using these two imaging mar...
