AIM: To evaluate a deep-learning-based computer-aided detection (DL-CAD) software system for pulmonary nodule detection on computed tomography (CT) images and assess its added value in the clinical practice of a large teaching hospital.
We present a method to generate synthetic thorax radiographs with realistic nodules from CT scans, and a perfect ground truth knowledge. We evaluated the detection performance of nine radiologists and two convolutional neural networks in a reader stu...
This study focused on the application value of MRI images processed by a Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm-based model in diagnosis of benign and malignant solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN). The SVM algorithm was constrained by a self-paced regula...
Background Accurate estimation of the malignancy risk of pulmonary nodules at chest CT is crucial for optimizing management in lung cancer screening. Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) algorithm for malignancy risk estimation of pul...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of a deep learning (DL)-based method for diagnosing pulmonary nodules compared with radiologists' diagnostic approach in computed tomography (CT) of the chest.
BACKGROUND: Reidentification of prior nodules for temporal comparison is an important but time-consuming step in lung cancer screening. We develop and evaluate an automated nodule detector that utilizes the axial-slice number of nodules found in radi...
PURPOSE: To propose a practical strategy for the clinical application of deep learning algorithm, i.e., Hierarchical-Ordered Network-ORiented Strategy (HONORS), and a new approach to pulmonary nodule classification in various clinical scenarios, i.e....
INTRODUCTION: Deep Learning has been proposed as promising tool to classify malignant nodules. Our aim was to retrospectively validate our Lung Cancer Prediction Convolutional Neural Network (LCP-CNN), which was trained on US screening data, on an in...
