To evaluate the feasibility of acquiring vertebral height from chest low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) images using an artificial intelligence (AI) system based on 3D U-Net vertebral segmentation technology and the correlation and features of verte...
Bone segmentation is an important step to perform biomechanical failure load simulations on in-vivo CT data of patients with bone metastasis, as it is a mandatory operation to obtain meshes needed for numerical simulations. Segmentation can be a tedi...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) relies on the attenuation of x-rays, and is, hence, of limited use for weakly attenuating organs of the body, such as the lung. X-ray dark-field (DF) imaging is a recently developed technology that utilizes x-ray ...
BACKGROUND: Pediatric surgeons often treat patients with complex anatomical considerations due to congenital anomalies or distortion of normal structures by solid organ tumors. There are multiple applications for three-dimensional visualization of th...
BACKGROUND: Methods to monitor cardiac functioning non-invasively can accelerate preclinical and clinical research into novel treatment options for heart failure. However, manual image analysis of cardiac substructures is resource-intensive and error...
The trend in the medical field is towards intelligent detection-based medical diagnostic systems. However, these methods are often seen as 'black boxes' due to their lack of interpretability. This situation presents challenges in identifying reasons ...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of a preoperative contrast-enhanced CT (CECT)-based deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLRN) for predicting murine double minute 2 (MDM2) gene amplification as a means of distinguishing between retroper...
