Early detection with accurate classification of solid pulmonary nodules is critical in reducing lung cancer morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography (CT) remains the most widely used imaging examination for pulmonary nodule evaluation; however, o...
OBJECTIVES: With the popularization of chest computed tomography (CT) screening, there are more sub-centimeter (≤ 1 cm) pulmonary nodules (SCPNs) requiring further diagnostic workup. This area represents an important opportunity to optimize the SCPN ...
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...
Lung cancer is a serious disease responsible for millions of deaths every year. Early stages of lung cancer can be manifested in pulmonary lung nodules. To assist radiologists in reducing the number of overseen nodules and to increase the detection a...
Technology in navigating to peripheral pulmonary nodules has improved in recent years. The recent integration of a robotic platform using shape-sensing technology and mobile cone-beam computed tomography imaging technology has enhanced confidence in ...
Lung cancer manifests as pulmonary nodules in the early stage. Thus, the early and accurate detection of these nodules is crucial for improving the survival rate of patients. We propose a novel two-stage model for lung nodule detection. In the candid...
Lung cancer is the leading cancer type that causes mortality in both men and women. Computer-aided detection (CAD) and diagnosis systems can play a very important role for helping physicians with cancer treatments. This study proposes a hierarchical ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of applying a computed tomography (CT) texture analysis model trained with deep-learning reconstruction images to iterative reconstruction images for classifying pulmonary nodules.
OBJECTIVE: Accurate segmentation of the lung nodule in computed tomography images is a critical component of a computer-assisted lung cancer detection/diagnosis system. However, lung nodule segmentation is a challenging task due to the heterogeneity ...
