Small airway obstruction is a main cause for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We propose a novel method based on machine learning to extract the airway system from a thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan. The emphasis of the proposed me...
This paper aims to address the segmentation and classification of lytic and sclerotic metastatic lesions that are difficult to define by using spinal 3D Computed Tomography (CT) images obtained from highly pathologically affected cases. As the lesion...
PURPOSE: New software solutions emerged to support radiologists in image interpretation in acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to validate the performance of computer-aided assessment of the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) for det...
We developed a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) method for classification between benign nodule, primary lung cancer, and metastatic lung cancer and evaluated the following: (i) the usefulness of the deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for CADx o...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks are a powerful technology for image recognition. This study evaluates a convolutional neural network optimized for the detection and quantification of intraparenchymal, epidural/subdural, and suba...
BACKGROUND: Manual contouring remains the most laborious task in radiation therapy planning and is a major barrier to implementing routine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy (MR-ART). To address this, we propose a new ...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of k-means clustering to efficiently reduce the variety of materials needed in Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation. A numerical phantom with 31 human tissues surrounded by water is created. K-me...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a decision support model using a machine learning algorithm to predict treatment success after single session shock wave lithotripsy in ureteral stone cases.

PURPOSE: We present a cross-modality and fully automatic pipeline for labeling of intervertebral discs and vertebrae in volumetric data of the lumbar and thoracolumbar spine. The main goal is to provide an algorithm that is applicable to a wide range...
BACKGROUND: Early and automatic detection of pulmonary nodules from CT lung screening is the prerequisite for precise management of lung cancer. However, a large number of false positives appear in order to increase the sensitivity, especially for de...
