SD-CNN: A shallow-deep CNN for improved breast cancer diagnosis.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Nevertheless, it is also one of the most treatable malignances if detected early. Screening for breast cancer with full field digital mammography (FFDM) has been widely ...

Development and Validation of a Deep Learning System for Staging Liver Fibrosis by Using Contrast Agent-enhanced CT Images in the Liver.

Radiology
Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning system (DLS) for staging liver fibrosis by using CT images in the liver. Materials and Methods DLS for CT-based staging of liver fibrosis was created by using a development data set that included portal...

Small airway segmentation in thoracic computed tomography scans: a machine learning approach.

Physics in medicine and biology
Small airway obstruction is a main cause for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We propose a novel method based on machine learning to extract the airway system from a thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan. The emphasis of the proposed me...

A fully integrated computer-aided diagnosis system for digital X-ray mammograms via deep learning detection, segmentation, and classification.

International journal of medical informatics
A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system requires detection, segmentation, and classification in one framework to assist radiologists efficiently in an accurate diagnosis. In this paper, a completely integrated CAD system is proposed to screen digital...

Small lung nodules detection based on local variance analysis and probabilistic neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In medical examinations doctors use various techniques in order to provide to the patients an accurate analysis of their actual state of health. One of the commonly used methodologies is the x-ray screening. This examination...

A Novel Multiscale Gaussian-Matched Filter Using Neural Networks for the Segmentation of X-Ray Coronary Angiograms.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The accurate and efficient segmentation of coronary arteries in X-ray angiograms represents an essential task for computer-aided diagnosis. This paper presents a new multiscale Gaussian-matched filter (MGMF) based on artificial neural networks. The p...

Automated estimation of image quality for coronary computed tomographic angiography using machine learning.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to evaluate the efficacy of a fully automated method for assessing the image quality (IQ) of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

A robotic C-arm cone beam CT system for image-guided proton therapy: design and performance.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: A ceiling-mounted robotic C-arm cone beam CT (CBCT) system was developed for use with a 190° proton gantry system and a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic patient positioner. We report on the mechanical design, system accuracy, image quality, ima...

Artificial intelligence for analyzing orthopedic trauma radiographs.

Acta orthopaedica
Background and purpose - Recent advances in artificial intelligence (deep learning) have shown remarkable performance in classifying non-medical images, and the technology is believed to be the next technological revolution. So far it has never been ...

Tomographic image reconstruction via estimation of sparse unidirectional gradients.

Computers in biology and medicine
Since computed tomography (CT) was developed over 35 years ago, new mathematical ideas and computational algorithms have been continuingly elaborated to improve the quality of reconstructed images. In recent years, a considerable effort can be notice...
