Tuberculosis (TB) is among the leading causes of death worldwide from a single infectious agent. This disease usually affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) and can be cured in most cases with a quick diagnosis and proper treatment. Microscopic sputum smea...
BACKGROUND: Leptin plays a key role in the regulation of energy and inflammation in tuberculosis (TB). However, its correlation in children with TB remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the correlations between body mass index, IFN...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of a deep learning-based computer-aided detection (CAD) system in identifying active pulmonary tuberculosis on chest radiographs (CRs) of patients with positive interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) results in differ...
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a leading cause of death in children despite global efforts focused on early diagnosis and interventions to limit the spread of the disease. This challenge has been made more complex in the context of the coronavirus...
Chest X-rays are the most economically viable diagnostic imaging test for active pulmonary tuberculosis screening despite the high sensitivity and low specificity when interpreted by clinicians or radiologists. Computer aided detection (CAD) algorith...
There has been an explosive growth in research over the last decade exploring machine learning techniques for analyzing chest X-ray (CXR) images for screening cardiopulmonary abnormalities. In particular, we have observed a strong interest in screeni...
Chest X-ray (CXR) images are considered useful to monitor and investigate a variety of pulmonary disorders such as COVID-19, Pneumonia, and Tuberculosis (TB). With recent technological advancements, such diseases may now be recognized more precisely ...
