OBJECTIVE: Microwave lung ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive and inexpensive alternative cancer treatment for patients who are not candidates for surgery/radiotherapy. However, a major challenge for MWA is its relatively high tumor recurrence rat...
BACKGROUND: Neck computed tomography (NCT) is essential for diagnosing suspected neck tumors and abscesses, but radiation exposure can be an issue. In conventional reconstruction techniques, limiting radiation dose comes at the cost of diminished dia...
BACKGROUND: In radiotherapy, the delineation of the gross tumor volume (GTV) in brain metastases using computed tomography (CT) simulation localization is very important. However, despite the criticality of this process, a pronounced gap exists in th...
Deformable image registration is an essential component of medical image analysis and plays an irreplaceable role in clinical practice. In recent years, deep learning-based registration methods have demonstrated significant improvements in convenienc...
This study explores the progression of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). It aims to predict the risk of ICH progression using initial CT scans and identify clinical factors associated with ...
Lung cancer is categorized into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer. Of these, NSCLC accounts for approximately 85% of all cases and encompasses varieties such as squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. F...

BACKGROUND: CT-image segmentation for liver and hepatic vessels can facilitate liver surgical planning. However, time-consuming process and inter-observer variations of manual segmentation have limited wider application in clinical practice.
Liver segmentation is a fundamental prerequisite for the diagnosis and surgical planning of hepatocellular carcinoma. Traditionally, the liver contour is drawn manually by radiologists using a slice-by-slice method. However, this process is time-cons...
