Exposure of the lenses to direct ionizing radiation during computed tomography (CT) examinations predisposes patients to cataract formation and should be avoided when possible. Avoiding such exposure requires positioning and other maneuvers by techno...
Radiological measurements are reported in free text reports, and it is challenging to extract such measures for treatment planning such as lesion summarization and cancer response assessment. The purpose of this work is to develop and evaluate a natu...
In this research, we exploit an image-based deep learning framework to distinguish three major subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe) using images acquired with computed tomography (CT). A biopsy-proven benchmarking...
