In the U.S., lung cancer is the second major cause of death. Early detection of suspicious lung nodules is crucial for patient treatment planning, management, and improving outcomes. Many approaches for lung nodule segmentation and…

The segmentation module which precisely outlines the nodules is a crucial step in a computer-aided diagnosis(CAD) system. The most challenging part of such a module is how to achieve high accuracy of the segmentation, especially for the…

This paper proposes novel end-to-end framework for detecting suspicious pulmonary nodules in chest CT scans. The method core idea is a new nodule segmentation architecture with a model-based feature projection block on three-dimensional…

Machine learning methods with quantitative imaging features integration have recently gained a lot of attention for lung nodule classification. However, there is a dearth of studies in the literature on effective features ranking methods…

Accurate lung nodule detection for computed tomography (CT) scan imagery is challenging in real-world settings due to the sparse occurrence of nodules and similarity to other anatomical structures. In a typical positive case, nodules may…

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors, evolving from the cerebral supportive cells. For clinical follow-up, the evaluation of the preoperative tumor volume is essential. Volumetric assessment of tumor volume with manual…

Early detection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is critical for improving patient outcomes, and novel approaches are needed to facilitate early diagnosis. In this study, we explore the use of automatic cough analysis as a…

Percolation theory from statistical physics has been applied to several aspects of tumor progression. Tumor growth on percolation clusters has been used to model spatial expansion, vascular percolation to describe nutrient supply and…

Accurate delineation of pathological lungs from computed tomography (CT) images remains mostly unsolved because available methods fail to provide a reliable generic solution due to high variability of abnormality appearance. Local…

Segmentation of certain hollow organs, such as the bladder, is especially hard to automate due to their complex geometry, vague intensity gradients in the soft tissues, and a tedious manual process of the data annotation routine. Yet,…

Purpose: The lung nodules localization in CT scan images is the most difficult task due to the complexity of the arbitrariness of shape, size, and texture of lung nodules. This is a challenge to be faced when coming to developing different…

The size of nuclei in histological preparations from excised breast tumors is predictive of patient outcome (large nuclei indicate poor outcome). Pathologists take into account nuclear size when performing breast cancer grading. In…

We introduce a new computer aided detection and diagnosis system for lung cancer screening with low-dose CT scans that produces meaningful probability assessments. Our system is based entirely on 3D convolutional neural networks and…

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality globally, highlighting the importance of understanding its mortality risks to design effective patient-centered therapies. The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) employed computed…

The 3D simulation model of the lung was established by using the reconstruction method. A computer aided pulmonary nodule detection model was constructed. The process iterates over the images to refine the lung nodule recognition model…

The performance of a computer-aided automated diagnosis system of lung cancer from Computed Tomography (CT) volumetric images greatly depends on the accurate detection and segmentation of tumor regions. In this paper, we present Recurrent…

In the management of lung nodules, we are desirable to predict nodule evolution in terms of its diameter variation on Computed Tomography (CT) scans and then provide a follow-up recommendation according to the predicted result of the…

Lung nodule classification is a class imbalanced problem, as nodules are found with much lower frequency than non-nodules. In the class imbalanced problem, conventional classifiers tend to be overwhelmed by the majority class and ignore the…

Lung cancer is a devastating disease with the highest mortality rate among cancer types. Over 60% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, which accounts for 87% of diagnoses, require radiation therapy. Rapid treatment initiation…
