Lung image registration is more challenging than other organs. This is because the breath of the human body causes large deformations in the lung parenchyma and small deformations in tissues such as the pulmonary vascular. Many studies have recently ...
OBJECTIVES: Computed tomography (CT)-based bronchial parameters correlate with disease status. Segmentation and measurement of the bronchial lumen and walls usually require significant manpower. We evaluate the reproducibility of a deep learning and ...
Due to the rapid advancements in recent years, medical image analysis is largely dominated by deep learning (DL). However, building powerful and robust DL models requires training with large multi-party datasets. While multiple stakeholders have prov...
OBJECTIVE: Adult age estimation (AAE) is a challenging task. Deep learning (DL) could be a supportive tool. This study aimed to develop DL models for AAE based on CT images and compare their performance to the manual visual scoring method.
Prevention and management of chronic lung diseases (asthma, lung cancer, etc.) are of great importance. While tests are available for reliable diagnosis, accurate identification of those who will develop severe morbidity/mortality is currently limite...
