PURPOSE: Currently, all solid enhancing renal masses without microscopic fat are considered malignant until proven otherwise and there is substantial overlap in the imaging findings of benign and malignant renal masses, particularly between clear cel...
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is prevalent in certain areas, such as South China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Radiation therapy is the most efficient means to treat this malignant tumor. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET...
Highly accurate detection of the intracranial hemorrhage without delay is a critical clinical issue for the diagnostic decision and treatment in an emergency room. In the context of a study on diagnostic accuracy, there is a tradeoff between sensitiv...

Pathologic grading plays a key role in prostate cancer risk stratification and treatment selection, traditionally assessed from systemic core needle biopsies sampled throughout the prostate gland. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) ha...
Automatic vertebrae localization and identification in medical computed tomography (CT) scans is of great value for computer-aided spine diseases diagnosis. In order to overcome the disadvantages of the approaches employing hand-crafted, low-level fe...
Bone cancer originates from bone and rapidly spreads to the rest of the body affecting the patient. A quick and preliminary diagnosis of bone cancer begins with the analysis of bone X-ray or MRI image. Compared to MRI, an X-ray image provides a low-c...
We compared the performance of different Deep learning-convolutional neural network (DL-CNN) models for bladder cancer treatment response assessment based on transfer learning by freezing different DL-CNN layers and varying the DL-CNN structure. Pre-...
