BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus never identified before in humans. This virus causes respiratory disease (for instance, flu) with symptoms such as cough, fever and, in severe cas...
Radiology reports contain a radiologist's interpretations of images, and these images frequently describe spatial relations. Important radiographic findings are mostly described in reference to an anatomical location through spatial prepositions. Suc...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Deep learning detection and classification from medical imagery are key components for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems to efficiently support physicians leading to an accurate diagnosis of breast lesions.
PURPOSE: Imaging of the secondary electron bremsstrahlung (SEB) x rays emitted during particle-ion irradiation is a promising method for beam range estimation. However, the SEB x-ray images are not directly correlated to the dose images. In addition,...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a novel deep learning (DL) tool for fully automated measurements of the sagittal spinopelvic balance from X-ray images of the spine in comparison with manual measurements.
One of the first tasks in osteotomy and arthroplasty is to identify the lower limb varus and valgus deformity status. The measurement of a set of angles to determine this status is generally performed manually with the measurement accuracy depending ...
