INTRODUCTION: Age estimation, especially in adults, presents substantial challenges in different contexts ranging from forensic to clinical applications. Bone mineral density (BMD), with its distinct age-related variations, has emerged as a critical ...
Noise reduction is essential to improve the diagnostic quality of low-dose CT (LDCT) images. In this regard, data-driven denoising methods based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) have shown promising results. However, custom designs with 2D co...
PURPOSE: Low-dose CT protocols are widely used for emergency imaging, follow-ups, and attenuation correction in hybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging. However, low-dose CT images often suffer from reduced quality depending on acquisition and patient att...

Accurate segmentation of the tumor regions of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is of significant importance for radiotherapy of NPC. However, the precision of existing automatic segmentation methods for NPC remains inadequate, primarily manifested in t...
BACKGROUND: In the diagnosis of patellar instability, three-dimensional (3D) imaging enables measurement of a wide range of metrics. However, measuring these metrics can be time-consuming and prone to error due to conducting 2D measurements on 3D obj...
Pancreatic cancer is a lethal invasive tumor with one of the worst prognosis. Accurate and reliable segmentation for pancreas and pancreatic cancer on computerized tomography (CT) images is vital in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Although certain ...
