PURPOSE: We accelerate a pathline-based cardiovascular model building method by training machine learning models to directly predict vessel lumen surface points from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) medical image data.
INTRODUCTION: Computed Tomography is an essential diagnostic tool in the management of COVID-19. Considering the large amount of examinations in high case-load scenarios, an automated tool could facilitate and save critical time in the diagnosis and ...

BACKGROUND: A proposed computer aided detection (CAD) scheme faces major issues during subtle nodule recognition. However, radiologists have not noticed subtle nodules in beginning stage of lung cancer while a proposed CAD scheme recognizes non subtl...
With the number of affected individuals still growing world-wide, the research on COVID-19 is continuously expanding. The deep learning community concentrates their efforts on exploring if neural networks can potentially support the diagnosis using C...
PURPOSE: To compare abdominal equilibrium phase (EP) CT images of obese and non-obese patients to identify the reconstruction method that preserves the diagnostic value of images obtained in obese patients.

Bone age is one of biological indicators of maturity used in clinical practice and it is a very important parameter of a child’s assessment, especially in paediatric endocrinology. The most widely used method of bone age assessment is by performing a...
Background Longitudinal follow-up of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) at CT mainly relies on the evaluation of the extent of ILD, without accounting for lung shrinkage. Purpose To develop a deep learning-based method to depict worsening of ILD based...
