Machine learning approaches hold great potential for the automated detection of lung nodules on chest radiographs, but training algorithms requires very large amounts of manually annotated radiographs, which are difficult to obtain. The increasing av...
Image registration, the process of aligning two or more images, is the core technique of many (semi-)automatic medical image analysis tasks. Recent studies have shown that deep learning methods, notably convolutional neural networks (ConvNets), can b...

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome of respiratory failure that may be identified using text from radiology reports. The objective of this study was to determine whether natural language processing (NLP) with machine learning per...
This paper explores cutting-edge deep learning methods for information extraction from medical imaging free text reports at a multi-institutional scale and compares them to the state-of-the-art domain-specific rule-based system - PEFinder and traditi...
BACKGROUND: Pneumothorax can precipitate a life-threatening emergency due to lung collapse and respiratory or circulatory distress. Pneumothorax is typically detected on chest X-ray; however, treatment is reliant on timely review of radiographs. Sinc...
BACKGROUND: Chest radiograph interpretation is critical for the detection of thoracic diseases, including tuberculosis and lung cancer, which affect millions of people worldwide each year. This time-consuming task typically requires expert radiologis...
Medical datasets are often highly imbalanced with over-representation of prevalent conditions and poor representation of rare medical conditions. Due to privacy concerns, it is challenging to aggregate large datasets between health care institutions....
Purpose To assess the ability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to enable high-performance automated binary classification of chest radiographs. Materials and Methods In a retrospective study, 216 431 frontal chest radiographs obtained between ...
Purpose To examine Generative Visual Rationales (GVRs) as a tool for visualizing neural network learning of chest radiograph features in congestive heart failure (CHF). Materials and Methods A total of 103 489 frontal chest radiographs in 46 712 pati...
BACKGROUND: In this study, a deep convolutional neural network (CNN)-based automatic segmentation technique was applied to multiple organs at risk (OARs) depicted in computed tomography (CT) images of lung cancer patients, and the results were compar...
