With the development of deep learning in the field of medical image segmentation, various network segmentation models have been developed. Currently, the most common network models in medical image segmentation can be roughly categorized into pure co...
Visual scoring of interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis (SSc-ILD) from CT scans is laborious, subjective and time-consuming. This study aims to develop a deep learning framework to automate SSc-ILD scoring. The automated framework is a casc...
Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) reconstructs multiple energy-channel images to describe the same object, where there exists a strong correlation among different channel images. In addition, reconstruction of each channel image suffers phot...

PURPOSE: Lower-limb muscle mass reduction and fatty degeneration develop in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and could affect their symptoms, satisfaction, expectation and functional activities. The Knee Society Scoring System (KSS) includes p...
The early and highly accurate prediction of COVID-19 based on medical images can speed up the diagnostic process and thereby mitigate disease spread; therefore, developing AI-based models is an inevitable endeavor. The presented work, to our knowledg...

Accurate segmentation of ankle and foot bones from CT scans is essential for morphological analysis. Ankle and foot bone segmentation challenges due to the blurred bone boundaries, narrow inter-bone gaps, gaps in the cortical shell, and uneven spongy...
AIMS: The purpose of this study was to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) for fracture detection, classification, and identification of greater tuberosity displacement ≥ 1 cm, neck-shaft angle (NSA) ≤ 100°, shaft translation, and articular ...
