U-Net is a commonly used model for medical image segmentation. However, when applied to chest X-ray images that show pathologies, it often fails to include these critical pathological areas in the generated masks. To address this limitation, in our s...

We hypothesized that deep learning-based post hoc denoising could improve the quality of cardiac CT for the 3D volume-rendered (VR) imaging of mitral valve (MV) prolapse. We aimed to evaluate the quality of denoised 3D VR images for visualizing MV pr...
BACKGROUND: Developing computer-assisted methods to measure the Torg-Pavlov ratio (TPR), defined as the ratio of the sagittal diameter of the cervical spinal canal to the sagittal diameter of the corresponding vertebral body on lateral radiographs, c...

In symptomatic patients undergoing coronary CTA for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), we assessed if quantification of plaque burden, in addition to luminal narrowing and clinical risk factors, offers incremental value for the identification o...
BACKGROUND: Estimating time-since-injury of healing fractures is imprecise, encompassing excessively wide timeframes. Most injured children are evaluated at non-children's hospitals, yet pediatric radiologists can disagree with up to one in six skele...
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, medical imaging has emerged as a primary modality for diagnosing COVID-19 pneumonia. In clinical settings, the segmentation of lung infections from computed tomography images enables rapid and accu...
Deep learning-based medical image segmentation and surface mesh generation typically involve a sequential pipeline from image to segmentation to meshes, often requiring large training datasets while making limited use of prior geometric knowledge. Th...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) poses a significant global health challenge with a particularly grim prognosis. Accurate prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in ESCC is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies and improv...

BACKGROUND: Indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs) require follow-up CT to assess potential growth; however, benign nodules may disappear. Accurately predicting whether IPNs will resolve is a challenge for radiologists. Therefore, we aim to utilize d...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Chest computed tomography (CT) radiomics can be utilized for categorical predictions; however, models predicting pulmonary function indices directly are lacking. This study aimed to develop machine-learning-based regression ...
