The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) for diagnosing systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is relatively limited. This study aimed to analyse lung HRCT images of patients wit...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between systemic sclerosis (SSc) clinical features and the extent and progression of coronary artery calcifications.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious prognostic complication in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Deep learning models can be applied to detect PH in the chest X-ray images of these patients. The aim of the study was to investigate the perf...
Visual scoring of interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis (SSc-ILD) from CT scans is laborious, subjective and time-consuming. This study aims to develop a deep learning framework to automate SSc-ILD scoring. The automated framework is a casc...
BACKGROUND: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease associated with rapidly evolving interstitial lung disease (ILD), driving its mortality. Specific imaging-based biomarkers associated with the evolution of lung disease are need...
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is known to be a major complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and a leading cause of death in SSc patients. As the most common type of ILD, the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has not been fully e...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of machine learning and then deep learning to detect a systemic scleroderma (SSc) landscape from the same set of nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) images from the French prospective multicenter observational study SC...
BACKGROUND: The modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS), a measure of systemic sclerosis (SSc) skin thickness, is agnostic to inflammation and vasculopathy. Previously, we demonstrated the potential of neural network-based digital pathology applied to SSc ...
Using transcriptomic profiling at single-cell resolution, we investigated cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic signatures associated with pathogenesis and inflammation-driven fibrosis in both adult and pediatric patients with localized scleroderma (LS)....
