PURPOSE: To establish the clinical applicability of deep-learning organ-at-risk autocontouring models (DL-AC) for brain radiotherapy. The dosimetric impact of contour editing, prior to model training, on performance was evaluated for both CT and MRI-...
BACKGROUND: Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is an interstitial pneumonia caused by pneumocystis jirovecii (PJ). The diagnosis of PJP primarily relies on the detection of the pathogen from lower respiratory tract specimens. However, it faces ch...

Dual-energy computed tomography (CT) is an excellent substitute for identifying bone marrow edema in magnetic resonance imaging. However, it is rarely used in practice owing to its low contrast. To overcome this problem, we constructed a framework ba...
BACKGROUND: Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) on CT may affect the clinical outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but their quantification remains unestablished. This study examined whether artificial intelligen...

BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) body compositions reflect age-related metabolic derangements. We aimed to develop a multi-outcome deep learning model using CT multi-level body composition parameters to detect metabolic syndrome (MS), osteoporosi...
BACKGROUND: Liver lesions mainly occur inside the liver parenchyma, which are difficult to locate and have complicated relationships with essential vessels. Thus, preoperative planning is crucial for the resection of liver lesions. Accurate segmentat...
