BACKGROUND: The most recent advances in Computed Tomography (CT) image reconstruction technology are Deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithms. Due to drawbacks in Iterative reconstruction (IR) techniques such as negative image texture and...
The recent prevalence of deep neural networks has led semantic segmentation networks to achieve human-level performance in the medical field, provided they are given sufficient training data. However, these networks often fail to generalize when task...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The effective segmentation of esophageal squamous carcinoma lesions in CT scans is significant for auxiliary diagnosis and treatment. However, accurate lesion segmentation is still a challenging task due to the irregular for...
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has variable efficacy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet reliable noninvasive predictive markers are lacking. This study aimed to develop a radiomics model predicting pathological complete re...
This work aims to investigate the clinical feasibility of deep learning-based synthetic CT images for cervix cancer, comparing them to MR for calculating attenuation (MRCAT). Patient cohort with 50 pairs of T2-weighted MR and CT images from cervical ...
BACKGROUND: In medical imaging courses, due to the complexity of anatomical relationships, limited number of practical course hours and instructors, how to improve the teaching quality of practical skills and self-directed learning ability has always...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate tumor heterogeneity of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) and stratify the patients into different risk groups of prognoses following liver resection by applying an unsupervised radiomics machine-learning a...
BACKGROUND: Traumatic knee injuries are challenging to diagnose accurately through radiography and to a lesser extent, through CT, with fractures sometimes overlooked. Ancillary signs like joint effusion or lipo-hemarthrosis are indicative of fractur...
