Objective: There exist several X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning strategies to reduce a radiation dose, such as (1) sparse-view CT, (2) low-dose CT, and (3) region-of-interest (ROI) CT (called interior tomography). To further reduce…
In this work, we address the challenge of binary lung nodule classification (benign vs malignant) using CT images by proposing a multi-level attention stacked ensemble of deep neural networks. Three pretrained backbones -- EfficientNet V2…
Candidate generation, the first stage for most computer aided detection (CAD) systems, rapidly scans the entire image data for any possible abnormality locations, while the subsequent stages of the CAD system refine the candidates list to…
Automatic nuclei detection and classification can produce effective information for disease diagnosis. Most existing methods classify nuclei independently or do not make full use of the semantic similarity between nuclei and their grouping…
Deep learning (DL) is a powerful tool in computational imaging for many applications. A common strategy is to reconstruct a preliminary image as the input of a neural network to achieve an optimized image. Usually, the preliminary image is…
