The aim of this review is to provide an overview of different functional cardiac CT techniques which can be used to supplement assessment of the coronary arteries to establish the significance of coronary artery stenoses. We focus on cine-CT, CT-FFR,...
Lung cancer screening based on low-dose CT (LDCT) has now been widely applied because of its effectiveness and ease of performance. Radiologists who evaluate a large LDCT screening images face enormous challenges, including mechanical repetition and ...
BACKGROUND: Chest CT is used for the assessment of the severity of patients infected with novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). We collected chest CT scans of 202 patients diagnosed with the COVID-19, and try to develop a rapid, accurate and automatic t...
The conventional image segmentation techniques have a lot of issues with highest computational cost and low level accuracy for medical image diagnosis and genome analysis. The deep learning based optimization models utilize to predict the liver cance...
Coronavirus Disease (COVID19) is a fast-spreading infectious disease that is currently causing a healthcare crisis around the world. Due to the current limitations of the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) based tests for detect...

PURPOSE: Segmentation of liver organ and tumors from computed tomography (CT) scans is an important task for hepatic surgical planning. Manual segmentation of liver and tumors is tedious, time-consuming, and biased to the clinician experience. Theref...
Nephroblastoma is the most common kidney tumour in children. Its diagnosis is based on imagery. In the SAIAD project, we have designed a platform for optimizing the segmentation of deformed kidney and tumour with a small dataset, using Artificial Int...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: One of the main steps in the planning of radiotherapy (RT) is the segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) in Computed Tomography (CT). The esophagus is one of the most difficult OARs to segment. The boundaries between the esop...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Develop a deep learning-based algorithm using the U-Net architecture to measure abdominal fat on computed tomography (CT) images.
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia has been confirmed as a poor prognostic indicator of lung cancer. However, the lack of abdominal computed tomography (CT) hindered the application to assess the status of sarcopenia. The purpose of this study was to assess the ...
