PURPOSE: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), which assists in the interpretation of chest radiographs, is becoming common. However, few studies have evaluated the benefits and pitfalls of CAD in the real world. This study aimed to evaluate the independen...
Deep learning (DL) models can harness electronic health records (EHRs) to predict diseases and extract radiologic findings for diagnosis. With ambulatory chest radiographs (CXRs) frequently ordered, we investigated detecting type 2 diabetes (T2D) by ...

Covid-19 is a global pandemic. Early and accurate detection of positive cases prevent the further spread of this epidemic and help to treat rapidly the infected patients. During the peak of this epidemic, there was an insufficiency of Covid-19 test k...
The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has put healthcare systems worldwide to their limits, resulting in increased waiting time for diagnosis and required medical assistance. With chest radiographs (CXR) being one of the most common COVID-19 diagno...
Prevention and management of chronic lung diseases (asthma, lung cancer, etc.) are of great importance. While tests are available for reliable diagnosis, accurate identification of those who will develop severe morbidity/mortality is currently limite...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Convolutional neural networks are widely used to detect radiological findings in chest radiographs. Standard architectures are optimized for images of relatively small size (for example, 224 × 224 pixels), which suffices for...
Pneumonia, caused by microorganisms, is a severely contagious disease that damages one or both the lungs of the patients. Early detection and treatment are typically favored to recover infected patients since untreated pneumonia can lead to major com...

Chest radiography is a widely used diagnostic imaging procedure in medical practice, which involves prompt reporting of future imaging tests and diagnosis of diseases in the images. In this study, a critical phase in the radiology workflow is automat...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The role of preoperative chest radiography (CR) for prediction of postoperative pneumonia remains uncertain. We aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for postoperative pneumonia incorporating findings of preoperat...
