Lung cancer is the most common cancer that cannot be ignored and cause death with late health care. Currently, CT can be used to help doctors detect the lung cancer in the early stages. In many cases, the diagnosis of identifying the lung cancer depe...
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) for detecting tuberculosis (TB) on chest radiographs. Materials and Methods Four deidentified HIPAA-compliant datasets were used in this study that were exempted from revi...

Estimation of common cost-effectiveness measures, including the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and the net monetary benefit, is complicated by the need to account for informative censoring and inherent skewness of the data. In addition, since t...
Half a century ago, the term "computer-aided diagnosis" (CAD) was introduced in the scientific literature. Pulmonary imaging, with chest radiography and computed tomography, has always been one of the focus areas in this field. In this study, I descr...

Lung nodules are small, round, or oval-shaped masses of tissue in the lung region. Early diagnosis and treatment of lung nodules can significantly improve the quality of patients' lives. Because of their small size and the interlaced nature of chest ...
Suppression of bony structures in chest radiographs (CXRs) is potentially useful for radiologists and computer-aided diagnostic schemes. In this paper, we present an effective deep learning method for bone suppression in single conventional CXR using...
The detection of pulmonary nodules is one of the most studied problems in the field of medical image analysis due to the great difficulty in the early detection of such nodules and their social impact. The traditional approach involves the developmen...
The finite Gaussian mixture model with kernel correlation is a flexible tool that has recently received attention for point set registration. While there are many algorithms for point set registration presented in the literature, an important issue a...
In this paper, we propose a new Locality-constrained Subcluster Representation Ensemble (LSRE) model, to classify high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Medical images normally exhibit large intra-clas...
