Purposes: This study aimed to develop a computed tomography (CT)-based multi-organ segmentation model for delineating organs-at-risk (OARs) in pediatric upper abdominal tumors and evaluate its robustness across multiple datasets. Materials…
Lung cancer is a primary contributor to cancer-related mortality globally, highlighting the necessity for precise early detection of pulmonary nodules through low-dose CT (LDCT) imaging. Deep learning methods have improved nodule detection…
Online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) requires accurate and efficient auto-segmentation of target volumes and organs-at-risk (OARs) in mostly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Propagating expert-drawn contours from the pre-treatment…
Autonomous ultrasound (US) imaging has gained increased interest recently, and it has been seen as a potential solution to overcome the limitations of free-hand US examinations, such as inter-operator variations. However, it is still…
Cancers identified in CT scans are usually accompanied by detailed radiology reports, but publicly available CT datasets often lack these essential reports. This absence limits their usefulness for developing accurate report generation AI.…
Lung cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, is primarily linked to long-term tobacco smoking (85% of cases). Surprisingly, 10-15% of cases occur in non-smokers. In 2020, approximately 2 million people were affected…
In the medical field, accurate diagnosis of lung cancer is crucial for treatment. Traditional manual analysis methods have significant limitations in terms of accuracy and efficiency. To address this issue, this paper proposes a deep…
Chest X-ray (CXR) segmentation is an important step in computer-aided diagnosis, yet deploying large foundation models in clinical settings remains challenging due to computational constraints. We propose AdaLoRA-QAT, a two-stage…
