BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Every year, thousands of people suffer from skull damage and require personalized implants to fill the cranial cavity. Unfortunately, the waiting time for reconstruction surgery can extend to several weeks or even months, es...
BACKGROUND: Automatic segmentation of thymic lesions in preoperative computed tomography (CT) images is crucial for accurate diagnosis but remains time-consuming. Although UNet is widely used in medical imaging, its performance is limited by the inhe...
PURPOSE: Primary barriers to application of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy for cancer include severe side effects (such as potentially life threatening pneumonitis [PN]), which can cause the discontinuation of treatment. Predicting which p...

OBJECTIVE: Early diagnosis of pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN) is crucial for patient survival. This study proposes M-YOLO, a novel model combining Mamba architecture and YOLO, to enhance the detection of pancreatic cystic tumors. The model addresses...
BACKGROUND: Bone metastases (BM) represent a prevalent complication of tumors. Early and accurate diagnosis, however, is a significant hurdle for radiologists. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a valuable tool to assist radiologis...
BACKGROUND: In clinical settings, intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) are routinely diagnosed using non-contrast CT (NCCT) in emergency stroke imaging for severity assessment. However, compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ICH shows low contrast a...
