Brain tumor is a life-threatening problem and hampers the normal functioning of the human body. The average five-year relative survival rate for malignant brain tumors is 35.6 percent. For proper diagnosis and efficient treatment planning,…

Background and Purpose: Radiomics features are used to identify disease types and predict therapy outcomes. However, how the radiomics features are different among different anatomical structures has never been investigated. Hence, we…

Chest X-rays have been widely used for COVID-19 screening; however, 3D computed tomography (CT) is a more effective modality. We present our findings on COVID-19 severity prediction from chest CT scans using the STOIC dataset. We developed…

An automatic segmentation algorithm for delineation of the gross tumour volume and pathologic lymph nodes of head and neck cancers in PET/CT images is described. The proposed algorithm is based on a convolutional neural network using the…

Accurate prediction of malignancy in renal tumors is crucial for informing clinical decisions and optimizing treatment strategies. However, existing imaging modalities lack the necessary accuracy to reliably predict malignancy before…

Purpose: To identify optimal classification methods for computed tomography (CT) radiomics-based preoperative prediction of clear cells renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) grade. Methods and material: Seventy one ccRCC patients were included in…

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widely-used medical test, typically consisting of 12 voltage versus time traces collected from surface recordings over the heart. Here we hypothesize that a deep neural network can predict an important…

Predicting the risk of mortality for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using electronic health records (EHRs) data can help identify risky patients who might need more tailored care. In our previous work, we built…

Automated brain tumor segmentation plays an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis of the patient. In addition, features from the tumorous brain help in predicting patients overall survival. The main focus of this paper is to segment…

Since, cancer is curable when diagnosed at an early stage, lung cancer screening plays an important role in preventive care. Although both low dose computed tomography (LDCT) and computed tomography (CT) scans provide more medical…

Background: Radiomics shows promise in characterizing glioblastoma, but its added value over clinical and molecular predictors has yet to be proven. This study assessed the added value of conventional radiomics (CR) and deep learning (DL)…

Age prediction from medical images or other health-related non-imaging data is an important approach to data-driven aging research, providing knowledge of how much information a specific tissue or organ carries about the chronological age…
