Esophageal varices (EV) represent a critical complication of portal hypertension, affecting approximately 60% of cirrhosis patients with a significant bleeding risk of ~30%. While traditionally diagnosed through invasive endoscopy,…
Early diagnosis of renal cancer can greatly improve the survival rate of patients. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a cost-effective and non-invasive imaging technique and has become more and more frequently used for renal tumor…
Objective: To systematically evaluate the value of endocytoscopy (ECS) in the diagnosis of early esophageal cancer (EC). Methods: Pubmed, Ovid and EMbase databases were searched to collect diagnostic tests of ECS assisted diagnosis of early…
Esophageal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and ranks sixth in cancer-related mortality. Accurate computer-assisted diagnosis of cancer progression can help physicians effectively customize personalized treatment…
Aims Late diagnosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) contributes significantly to its high global mortality rate, with over 50\% of cases detected at advanced stages and a 5-year survival rate below 50\% according to WHO statistics.…
Objectives Accurate MRI-based identification of extramural vascular invasion (EVI) and mesorectal fascia invasion (MFI) is crucial for risk-stratified rectal cancer treatment. However, subjective visual assessment and inter-institutional…
The early detection and nuanced subtype classification of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a predominant cause of cancer mortality worldwide, is a critical and complex issue. In this paper, we introduce an innovative integration of…
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory esophageal disease which is increasing in prevalence. The diagnostic gold-standard involves manual review of a patient's biopsy tissue sample by a clinical pathologist for the presence of 15…
The analysis of multi-modality positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) images for computer aided diagnosis applications requires combining the sensitivity of PET to detect abnormal regions with anatomical localization…
The early detection of a pulmonary embolism (PE) is critical for enhancing patient survival rates. Both image-based and non-image-based features are of utmost importance in medical classification tasks. In a clinical setting, physicians…
Pneumonia, a prevalent respiratory infection, remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among vulnerable populations. Chest X-rays serve as a primary tool for pneumonia detection; however, variations in…

Abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract significantly influence the patient's health and require a timely diagnosis for effective treatment. With such consideration, an effective automatic classification of these abnormalities from a…
Pancreatic cancer is a lethal form of cancer that significantly contributes to cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early detection is essential to improve patient prognosis and survival rates. Despite advances in medical imaging techniques,…
Early detection of myometrial invasion is critical for the staging and life-saving management of endometrial carcinoma (EC), a prevalent global malignancy. Transvaginal ultrasound serves as the primary, accessible screening modality in…
Optimizing vision models purely for classification accuracy can impose an alignment tax, degrading human-like scanpaths and limiting interpretability. We introduce EVA, a neuroscience-inspired hard-attention mechanistic testbed that makes…
We use X-ray phase-contrast tomography (XPCT) in a multi-organ approach to identify early imaging markers predictive of multiple sclerosis (MS) in EAE animal model. As the majority of neurodegenerative diseases, MS is characterized by a…
Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is commonly acquired for lung cancer screening, assessment of general abdominal pain or suspected renal stones, trauma evaluation, and many other indications. However, the absence of contrast limits…
Osteoporosis is a common condition that increases fracture risk, especially in older adults. Early diagnosis is vital for preventing fractures, reducing treatment costs, and preserving mobility. However, healthcare providers face challenges…
Despite recent surge of interest in deploying colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) for early diagnosis of colorectal diseases, there remains a large gap between the current state of CCE in clinical practice, and the state of its counterpart…
