Dual-energy (DE) chest radiography provides the capability of selectively imaging two clinically relevant materials, namely soft tissues, and osseous structures, to better characterize a wide variety of thoracic pathology and potentially…
Chest X-rays (CXRs) are commonly utilized as a low-dose modality for lung screening. Nonetheless, the efficacy of CXRs is somewhat impeded, given that approximately 75% of the lung area overlaps with bone, which in turn hampers the…
Chest radiography is the most common clinical examination type. To improve the quality of patient care and to reduce workload, methods for automatic pathology classification have been developed. In this contribution we investigate the…
Chest X-ray radiography is one of the earliest medical imaging technologies and remains one of the most widely-used for diagnosis, screening, and treatment follow up of diseases related to lungs and heart. The literature in this field of…
Chest X-rays are the most commonly performed diagnostic examination to detect cardiopulmonary abnormalities. However, the presence of bony structures such as ribs and clavicles can obscure subtle abnormalities, resulting in diagnostic…
Suppression of thoracic bone shadows on chest X-rays (CXRs) has been indicated to improve the diagnosis of pulmonary disease. Previous approaches can be categorized as unsupervised physical and supervised deep learning models. Nevertheless,…
Dual-energy (DE) chest radiographs provide greater diagnostic information than standard radiographs by separating the image into bone and soft tissue, revealing suspicious lesions which may otherwise be obstructed from view. However,…
Knowledge of what spatial elements of medical images deep learning methods use as evidence is important for model interpretability, trustiness, and validation. There is a lack of such techniques for models in regression tasks. We propose a…
In this paper, we present a deep learning-based image processing technique for extraction of bone structures in chest radiographs using a U-Net FCNN. The U-Net was trained to accomplish the task in a fully supervised setting. To create the…
Chest X-ray (CXR) is a widely performed radiology examination that helps to detect abnormalities in the tissues and organs in the thoracic cavity. Detecting pulmonary abnormalities like COVID-19 may become difficult due to that they are…
Dark-field radiography is a novel X-ray imaging modality that enables complementary diagnostic information by visualizing the microstructural properties of lung tissue. Implemented via a Talbot-Lau interferometer integrated into a…
In the advent of a digital health revolution, vast amounts of clinical data are being generated, stored and processed on a daily basis. This has made the storage and retrieval of large volumes of health-care data, especially,…
The recent progress of computing, machine learning, and especially deep learning, for image recognition brings a meaningful effect for automatic detection of various diseases from chest X-ray images (CXRs). Here efficiency of lung…
Being one of the most common diagnostic imaging tests, chest radiography requires timely reporting of potential findings in the images. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end architecture for abnormal chest X-ray identification using…
Recent works show that Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can be successfully applied to chest X-ray data augmentation for lung disease recognition. However, the implausible and distorted pathology features generated from the less than…
In this paper, we present a deep-learning based method for estimating the 3D structure of a bone from a pair of 2D X-ray images. Our triplet loss-trained neural network selects the most closely matching 3D bone shape from a predefined set…
Chest radiography is climacteric in identifying different pulmonary diseases, yet radiologist workload and inefficiency can lead to misdiagnoses. Automatic, accurate, and efficient segmentation of lung from X-ray images of chest is…
Medical datasets are often highly imbalanced with over-representation of common medical problems and a paucity of data from rare conditions. We propose simulation of pathology in images to overcome the above limitations. Using chest X-rays…
Successful training of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) requires a substantial amount of data. With small datasets networks generalize poorly. Data Augmentation techniques improve the generalizability of neural networks by using…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging allows high resolution data acquisition with the downside of motion sensitivity due to relatively long acquisition times. Even during the acquisition of a single 2D slice, motion can severely corrupt the image.…
