Deep learning-enabled accurate normalization of reconstruction kernel effects on emphysema quantification in low-dose CT.

Physics in medicine and biology
Lung densitometry is being frequently adopted in CT-based emphysema quantification, yet known to be affected by the choice of reconstruction kernel. This study presents a two-step deep learning architecture that enables accurate normalization of reco...

Classification and Quantification of Emphysema Using a Multi-Scale Residual Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Automated tissue classification is an essential step for quantitative analysis and treatment of emphysema. Although many studies have been conducted in this area, there still remain two major challenges. First, different emphysematous tissue appears ...

Robot-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy as treatment of a giant bulla.

Journal of cardiothoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: A bulla is a marked enlarged space within the parenchyma of the lung. Bullae may cause dyspnea by compressing healthy lung parenchyma and can cause a pneumothorax. Also, bullae are associated with malignancy, therefore surgical bullectomy...

Deep Learning-Based Kernel Adaptation Enhances Quantification of Emphysema on Low-Dose Chest CT for Predicting Long-Term Mortality.

Investigative radiology
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to ascertain the predictive value of quantifying emphysema using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) post deep learning-based kernel adaptation on long-term mortality.

Deep Learning Assessment of Progression of Emphysema and Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Abnormality.

American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine
Although studies have evaluated emphysema and fibrotic interstitial lung abnormality individually, less is known about their combined progression. To define clinically meaningful progression of fibrotic interstitial lung abnormality in smokers with...

CT Image Conversion among Different Reconstruction Kernels without a Sinogram by Using a Convolutional Neural Network.

Korean journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to develop and validate a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture to convert CT images reconstructed with one kernel to images with different reconstruction kernels without using a sinogram.

Improving Detection of Early Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Annals of the American Thoracic Society
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...
