Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only radiotherapy treatment planning is attractive since MRI provides superior soft tissue contrast over computed tomographies (CTs), without the ionizing radiation exposure. However, it requires the generation of a s...
The purpose of the study was to compare the texture based discriminative performances between non-contrast enhanced computed tomography (NECT) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images in differentiating lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) from s...
PURPOSE: Segmentation of pulmonary nodules is critical for the analysis of nodules and lung cancer diagnosis. We present a novel framework of segmentation for various types of nodules using convolutional neural networks (CNNs).
BACKGROUND: Exhaled aerosols from lungs have unique patterns, and their variation can be correlated to the underlying lung structure and associated abnormities. However, it is challenging to characterize such aerosol patterns and differentiate their ...

To improve the quality of the super-resolution (SR) reconstructed medical images, an improved adaptive multi-dictionary learning method is proposed, which uses the combined information of medical image itself and the natural images database. In train...
PURPOSE: Subdural hematoma (SDH) is the most common form of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, and radiographic characteristics of SDH are predictive of complications and patient outcomes. We created a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to e...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The spinal cord is a very important organ that must be protected in treatments of radiotherapy (RT), considered an organ at risk (OAR). Excess rays associated with the spinal cord can cause irreversible diseases in patients ...
OBJECTIVES: We investigated the impact of clinical guidelines for the management of minor head injury on utilization and diagnostic yield of head CT over two decades.
