Current clinical treatment of pulmonary diseases requires an advanced three-dimensional (3D) pathological atlas of the microenvironment, particularly the trachea, which is predominantly affected by lung disorders. In this study, the gridded cyclodext...
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess and compare two state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for segmenting four thoracic organs at risk (OAR)-the esophagus, trachea, heart, and aorta-in CT images in the context of radiotherapy planning.
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) affects about 3-7% of the global population, but is often undiagnosed. It involves pauses in breathing during sleep, for at least 10 s, due to partial or total airway blockage. The current gold standard for diagnosing SAS i...

Tracheal collapse is a chronic and progressively worsening disease; the severity of clinical symptoms experienced by affected individuals depends on the degree of airway collapse. Cutting-edge automated tools are necessary to modernize disease screen...
In the realm of pulmonary tracheal segmentation, the scarcity of annotated data stands as a prevalent pain point in most medical segmentation endeavors. Concurrently, most Deep Learning (DL) methodologies employed in this domain invariably grapple wi...
PURPOSE: To compare computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography and unenhanced CT to determine the effect of rapid iodine contrast agent infusion on tracheal diameter and lung volume.

Timely and accurate interpretation of chest radiographs obtained to evaluate endotracheal tube (ETT) position is important for facilitating prompt adjustment if needed. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the performance of a deep learning (DL...
BACKGROUND: Chest radiographs are routinely performed in intensive care unit (ICU) to confirm the correct position of an endotracheal tube (ETT) relative to the carina. However, their interpretation is often challenging and requires substantial time ...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop artificial intelligence (AI) system that assists in checking endotracheal tube (ETT) placement on chest X-rays (CXRs) and evaluate whether it can move into clinical validation as a quality improvement tool.
