PURPOSE: To enhance clinician's decision-making by diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic patients with indeterminate liver nodules using quantitative imaging features extracted from triphasic CT scans.
The potential risks of x-ray to patients have transferred the public's attention from normal dose CT (NDCT) to low-dose CT (LDCT). However, simply lowering the radiation dose of the CT system will significantly degrade the quality of CT images such a...
PURPOSE: Accurate tumor segmentation is a requirement for magnetic resonance (MR)-based radiotherapy. Lack of large expert annotated MR datasets makes training deep learning models difficult. Therefore, a cross-modality (MR-CT) deep learning segmenta...
Volumetric imaging is an essential diagnostic tool for medical practitioners. The use of popular techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) for analysis of volumetric images is constrained by the availability of detailed (with local annot...

This paper presents a new approach for precisely estimating the renal vascular dominant region using a Voronoi diagram. To provide computer-assisted diagnostics for the pre-surgical simulation of partial nephrectomy surgery, we must obtain informatio...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of convolution kernel and iterative reconstruction on the diagnostic performance of radiomics and deep learning (DL) in lung adenocarcinomas.
We propose a new method for generating synthetic CT images from modified Dixon (mDixon) MR data. The synthetic CT is used for attenuation correction (AC) when reconstructing PET data on abdomen and pelvis. While MR does not intrinsically contain any ...
Accurate pulmonary nodule detection is a crucial step in lung cancer screening. Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems are not routinely used by radiologists for pulmonary nodule detection in clinical practice despite their potential benefits. Maximu...
OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of radiomics features on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) in predicting early enlargement of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH).
