Early classification of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is essential for disease cure and control. Compared with reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), chest computed tomography (CT) imaging may be a significantly more tr...
PURPOSE: Natural language processing (NLP) can be used for automatic flagging of radiology reports. We assessed deep learning models for classifying non-English head CT reports.
OBJECTIVES: The evaluation of lymph node (LN) status by radiologists based on preoperative computed tomography (CT) lacks high precision for early lung cancer patients; erroneous evaluations result in inappropriate therapeutic plans and increase the ...

PURPOSE: Tumors often have different imaging properties, and there is no single imaging modality that can visualize all tumors. In CT-guided needle placement procedures, image fusion (e.g. with MRI, PET, or contrast CT) is often used as image guidanc...
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is underdiagnosed in the community. Thoracic CT scans are widely used for diagnostic and screening purposes for lung cancer. In this proof-of-concept study, we aimed to evaluate a software pipe...
