BACKGROUND: Multi-material decomposition is an interesting topic in dual-energy CT (DECT) imaging; however, the accuracy and performance may be limited using the conventional algorithms.
BACKGROUND: Esophageal fistula (EF), a rare and potentially fatal complication, can be better managed with predictive models for personalized treatment plans in esophageal cancers. We aim to develop a clinical-deep learning radiomics model for effect...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tumor bed (TB) is the residual cavity of resected tumor after surgery. Delineating TB from CT is crucial in generating clinical target volume for radiotherapy. Due to multiple surgical effects and low image contrast, segmentin...
In recent years, deep learning has become a popular tool to analyze and classify medical images. However, challenges such as limited data availability, high labeling costs, and privacy concerns remain significant obstacles. As such, generative models...
INTRODUCTION: Manual segmentation of medical images is labor intensive and especially challenging for images with poor contrast or resolution. The presence of disease exacerbates this further, increasing the need for an automated solution. To this ex...
PURPOSE: To compare image quality and visibility of anatomical structures on contrast-enhanced thin-slice abdominal CT images reconstructed using super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR), deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR), and hy...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has high heterogeneity in etiologies and clinical manifestations. Expiratory Computed tomography (CT) can effectively assess air trapping, aiding in disease diagnosis. However, du...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prognostication of overall survival (OS) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving definitive radiotherapy (RT) is crucial for developing personalized treatment strategies. This study aims to construct an interpre...
