Highlighting the risk of biases in radiomics-based models will help improve their quality and increase usage as decision support systems in the clinic. In this study we use machine learning-based methods to identify the presence of volume-confounding...
OBJECTIVE: Osteoporosis is a prevalent and treatable condition, but it remains underdiagnosed. In this study, a deep learning-based system was developed to automatically measure bone mineral density (BMD) for opportunistic osteoporosis screening usin...
PURPOSE: Limiting the dose to the rectum can be one of the most challenging aspects of creating a dosimetric external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) plan for prostate cancer treatment. Rectal sparing devices such as hydrogel spacers offer the prospect...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used for screening, diagnosis, image-guided therapy, and scientific research. A significant advantage of MRI over other imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and nuclear imaging is that it clea...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume (cm) and attenuation (Hounsfield units) may predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of fully automated deep learning-based EAT volume and attenua...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Performing patient-specific, pre-operative cochlea CT-based measurements could be helpful to positively affect the outcome of cochlear surgery in terms of intracochlear trauma and loss of residual hearing. Therefore, we prop...
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether a deep learning model can predict the bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar vertebrae from unenhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) images.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the deep learning models for differentiating invasive pulmonary adenocarcinomas (IACs) among subsolid nodules (SSNs) considered for resection in a retrospective diagnostic cohort in comparison with a size-based logistic model ...
