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 ...
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...
PURPOSE: To explore the effect of different reconstruction algorithms (ASIR-V and DLIR) on image quality and emphysema quantification in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients under ultra-low-dose scanning conditions.
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.

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...
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based prototype algorithm for the fully automated per lobe segmentation and emphysema quantification (EQ) on chest-computed tomography as it compares to the Globa...
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.

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...
