Background and Objectives: Predicting patient response to treatment and survival in oncology is a prominent way towards precision medicine. To that end, radiomics was proposed as a field of study where images are used instead of invasive…

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common and lethal cancers and colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) is the major cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer. Multifocality occurs frequently in CRLM, but is relatively…

Medical head CT-scan imaging has been successfully combined with deep learning for medical diagnostics of head diseases and lesions[1]. State of the art classification models and algorithms for this task usually are based on 3d convolution…

Robust localization of lymph nodes (LNs) in multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is critical for the assessment of lymphadenopathy. Radiologists routinely measure the size of LN to distinguish benign from malignant nodes, which would require…

Purpose: Lymph nodes (LNs) in the chest have a tendency to enlarge due to various pathologies, such as lung cancer or pneumonia. Clinicians routinely measure nodal size to monitor disease progression, confirm metastatic cancer, and assess…

In the context of brain tumor characterization, we focused on two key questions: (a) stability of radiomics features to variability in multiregional segmentation masks obtained with fully-automatic deep segmentation methods and (b)…

We developed a deep ensemble learning model with a radiomics spatial encoding execution for improved glioma segmentation accuracy using multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI). This model was developed using 369 glioma patients with a 4-modality…

Machine learning models have utilized semantic features, deep features, or both to assess lung nodule malignancy. However, their reliance on manual annotation during inference, limited interpretability, and sensitivity to imaging variations…
