High precision localization of pulmonary nodules on chest CT utilizing axial slice number labels.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Reidentification of prior nodules for temporal comparison is an important but time-consuming step in lung cancer screening. We develop and evaluate an automated nodule detector that utilizes the axial-slice number of nodules found in radi...

Distant metastasis time to event analysis with CNNs in independent head and neck cancer cohorts.

Scientific reports
Deep learning models based on medical images play an increasingly important role for cancer outcome prediction. The standard approach involves usage of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automatically extract relevant features from the patient's...

Deep learning-based auto-delineation of gross tumour volumes and involved nodes in PET/CT images of head and neck cancer patients.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
PURPOSE: Identification and delineation of the gross tumour and malignant nodal volume (GTV) in medical images are vital in radiotherapy. We assessed the applicability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for fully automatic delineation of the GTV...

Applying artificial intelligence to longitudinal imaging analysis of vestibular schwannoma following radiosurgery.

Scientific reports
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied with considerable success in the fields of radiology, pathology, and neurosurgery. It is expected that AI will soon be used to optimize strategies for the clinical management of patients based on intensiv...

Radiomics to better characterize small renal masses.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: Radiomics is a specific field of medical research that uses programmable recognition tools to extract objective information from standard images to combine with clinical data, with the aim of improving diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive ...

Automated segmentation of endometrial cancer on MR images using deep learning.

Scientific reports
Preoperative MR imaging in endometrial cancer patients provides valuable information on local tumor extent, which routinely guides choice of surgical procedure and adjuvant therapy. Furthermore, whole-volume tumor analyses of MR images may provide ra...

Outcomes of surgical and/or medical treatment in patients with prolactinomas during long-term follow-up: a retrospective single-centre study.

Hormone molecular biology and clinical investigation
OBJECTIVES: Prolactinoma is the most common cause of pituitary tumours. Current medical guidelines recommend dopamine agonists (cabergoline or bromocriptine) as the initial therapy for prolactinoma. However, surgical removal can also be considered in...

Comparison of 11 automated PET segmentation methods in lymphoma.

Physics in medicine and biology
Segmentation of lymphoma lesions in FDG PET/CT images is critical in both assessing individual lesions and quantifying patient disease burden. Simple thresholding methods remain common despite the large heterogeneity in lymphoma lesion location, size...

Intraprostatic Tumor Segmentation on PSMA PET Images in Patients with Primary Prostate Cancer with a Convolutional Neural Network.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
Accurate delineation of the intraprostatic gross tumor volume (GTV) is a prerequisite for treatment approaches in patients with primary prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate-specific membrane antigen PET (PSMA PET) may outperform MRI in GTV detection. Howe...
