Purpose: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are promising in predicting treatment outcome for pediatric craniopharyngioma while the decision mechanisms are difficult to interpret. We compared the activation maps of CNN with hand crafted…

'Radiomics' is a method that extracts mineable quantitative features from radiographic images. These features can then be used to determine prognosis, for example, predicting the development of distant metastases (DM). Existing radiomics…

Chest x-rays are the most common radiology studies for diagnosing lung and heart disease. Hence, a system for automated pre-reporting of pathologic findings on chest x-rays would greatly enhance radiologists' productivity. To this end, we…

Background: We aim to develop enriched radiomics features that integrate classical structural radiomics with novel functional radiomics derived from liver MRI for diagnosis and risk stratification in liver cancer. The proposed framework…

Methods: Our deep learning model, called AnatomyNet, segments OARs from head and neck CT images in an end-to-end fashion, receiving whole-volume HaN CT images as input and generating masks of all OARs of interest in one shot. AnatomyNet is…

This study leverages graph neural networks to integrate MELC data with Radiomic-extracted features for melanoma classification, focusing on cell-wise analysis. It assesses the effectiveness of gene expression profiles and Radiomic features,…

Objective: Deep Learning-based Radiomics (DLR) has achieved great success in medical image analysis and has been considered a replacement for conventional radiomics that relies on handcrafted features. In this study, we aimed to explore the…

Aim: In the present work, we aimed to evaluate a comprehensive radiomics framework that enabled prediction of EGFR and KRAS mutation status in NSCLC cancer patients based on PET and CT multi-modalities radiomic features and machine learning…

Various structures in human physiology follow a treelike morphology, which often expresses complexity at very fine scales. Examples of such structures are intrathoracic airways, retinal blood vessels, and hepatic blood vessels. Large…

Accurate brain tumor typing requires integrating heterogeneous clinical evidence, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), histopathology, and pathology reports, which are often incomplete at the time of diagnosis. We introduce CoRe-BT,…

Accurate three-dimensional delineation of liver tumors on contrast-enhanced CT is a prerequisite for treatment planning, navigation and response assessment, yet manual contouring is slow, observer-dependent and difficult to standardise…

Image features need to be robust against differences in positioning, acquisition and segmentation to ensure reproducibility. Radiomic models that only include robust features can be used to analyse new images, whereas models with non-robust…

Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) of Breast Cancer (BRCA) images has been an active area of research in recent years. The main goals of this research is to develop reliable automatic methods for detecting and diagnosing different types of BRCA…

Artificial intelligence (AI) enabled radiomics has evolved immensely especially in the field of oncology. Radiomics provide assistancein diagnosis of cancer, planning of treatment strategy, and predictionof survival. Radiomics in…

Accurate survival prediction in head and neck cancer (HNC) is essential for guiding clinical decision-making and optimizing treatment strategies. Traditional models, such as Cox proportional hazards, have been widely used but are limited in…

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Accurate determination of the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutation status is highly relevant for the proper treatment of this patients. Purpose: The aim of this…

Although the combined treatment of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and emerging target therapy has significantly improved the outcomes of patients with head and neck cancer, distant metastasis remains the leading cause of treatment…

Manual delineation of volumes of interest (VOIs) by experts is considered the gold-standard method in radiomics analysis. However, it suffers from inter- and intra-operator variability. A quantitative assessment of the impact of variations…

Radiomic features achieve promising results in cancer diagnosis, treatment response prediction, and survival prediction. Our goal is to compare the handcrafted (explicitly designed) and deep learning (DL)-based radiomic features extracted…

The rapid proliferation of open-source medical foundation models (FMs) raises a practical question: how well do their pre-trained representations transfer to clinically relevant but data-scarce classification tasks? Particularly in CT-based…
