BACKGROUND: The principal triggers for intervention in the setting of pediatric blunt solid organ injury (BSOI) are declining hemoglobin values and hemodynamic instability. The clinical management of BSOI is, however, complex. We therefore hypothesiz...
Fully convolutional neural network (FCN) has achieved great success in semantic segmentation. However, the performance of the FCN is generally compromised for multi-object segmentation. Multi-organ segmentation is very common while challenging in the...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether the liver and spleen volumetric indices, measured on portal venous phase CT images, could be used to assess liver fibrosis severity in chronic liver disease.
PURPOSE: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has shown great potential in many clinical applications. By incorporating the information from two different energy spectra, DECT provides higher contrast and reveals more material differences of tissue...
Labeled medical imaging data is scarce and expensive to generate. To achieve generalizable deep learning models large amounts of data are needed. Standard data augmentation is a method to increase generalizability and is routinely performed. Generati...
PURPOSE: This prospective clinical study assesses the feasibility of training a deep neural network (DNN) for intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model fitting to diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) data and evaluates its performance.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of powder particle size on the cytoprotective and antioxidant activity of (HH) and (SN), two medicinal plants more commonly known as ivy and figwort, against HO-induced oxidative stress in mouse ...
Delineation of Computed Tomography (CT) abdominal anatomical structure, specifically spleen segmentation, is useful for not only measuring tissue volume and biomarkers but also for monitoring interventions. Recently, segmentation algorithms using dee...
The findings of splenomegaly, abnormal enlargement of the spleen, is a non-invasive clinical biomarker for liver and spleen diseases. Automated segmentation methods are essential to efficiently quantify splenomegaly from clinically acquired abdominal...
