Feasibility study of a general model for synthetic CT generation in MRI-guided extracranial radiotherapy.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of a single general model to synthesize CT images across body sites, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, to support treatment planning for MRI-only radiotherapy. A total of 157 patients who received MRI-guided ...

Thorax-encompassing multi-modality PET/CT deep learning model for resected lung cancer prognostication: A retrospective, multicenter study.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) typically receive surgery as their primary form of treatment. However, studies have shown that a high proportion of these patients will experience a recurrence after their resec...

An artificial intelligence model for predicting an appropriate mAs with target exposure indicator for chest digital radiography.

Scientific reports
In digital radiography, image quality is synergistically affected by anatomy-specific examinations, exposure factors, body parameters, detector types, and vendors/systems. However, estimating appropriate exposure factors before radiography with optim...

Learning Consistent Semantic Representation for Chest X-ray via Anatomical Localization in Self-Supervised Pre-Training.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Despite the similar global structures in Chest X-ray (CXR) images, the same anatomy exhibits varying appearances across images, including differences in local textures, shapes, colors, etc. Learning consistent representations for anatomical semantics...

Generalizability, robustness, and correction bias of segmentations of thoracic organs at risk in CT images.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess and compare two state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for segmenting four thoracic organs at riskĀ (OAR)-the esophagus, trachea, heart, and aorta-in CT images in the context of radiotherapy planning.

Dual biomarkers CT-based deep learning model incorporating intrathoracic fat for discriminating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules in multi-center cohorts.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
BACKGROUND: Recent studies in the field of lung cancer have emphasized the important role of body composition, particularly fatty tissue, as a prognostic factor. However, there is still a lack of practice in combining fatty tissue to discriminate ben...

Automated Classification of Body MRI Sequences Using Convolutional Neural Networks.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) studies of the body are routinely acquired in clinical practice. However, a standardized naming convention for MRI protocols and series does not exist currently. Conflicts in the series descripti...

Multi-Label Chest X-Ray Image Classification With Single Positive Labels.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Deep learning approaches for multi-label Chest X-ray (CXR) images classification usually require large-scale datasets. However, acquiring such datasets with full annotations is costly, time-consuming, and prone to noisy labels. Therefore, we introduc...

Weakly-supervised learning-based pathology detection and localization in 3D chest CT scans.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in anomaly detection have paved the way for novel radiological reading assistance tools that support the identification of findings, aimed at saving time. The clinical adoption of such applications requires a low rate ...

CDT-CAD: Context-Aware Deformable Transformers for End-to-End Chest Abnormality Detection on X-Ray Images.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Deep learning methods have achieved great success in medical image analysis domain. However, most of them suffer from slow convergency and high computing cost, which prevents their further widely usage in practical scenarios. Moreover, it has been pr...
