PURPOSE: We introduced and evaluated an end-to-end organs-at-risk (OARs) segmentation model that can provide accurate and consistent OARs segmentation results in much less time.
As a low-end computed tomography (CT) system, translational CT (TCT) is in urgent demand in developing countries. Under some circumstances, in order to reduce the scan time, decrease the X-ray radiation or scan long objects, furthermore, to avoid the...

Early detection of lung cancer is an effective way to improve the survival rate of patients. It is a critical step to have accurate detection of lung nodules in computed tomography (CT) images for the diagnosis of lung cancer. However, due to the het...
OBJECTIVE: CT is the mainstay imaging modality for assessing change in ventricular volume in patients with ventricular shunts or external ventricular drains (EVDs). We evaluated the performance of a novel fully automated CT registration and subtracti...
The third artificial intelligence (AI) boom is coming, and there is an inkling that the speed of its evolution is quickly increasing. In games like chess, shogi, and go, AI has already defeated human champions, and the fact that it is able to achieve...
PURPOSE: To develop and demonstrate the efficacy of a novel head-and-neck multimodality image registration technique using deep-learning-based cross-modality synthesis.
PURPOSE: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has shown great potential in many clinical applications. By incorporating the information from two different energy spectra, DECT provides higher contrast and reveals more material differences of tissue...
