Pathological lung segmentation (PLS) is an important, yet challenging, medical image application due to the wide variability of pathological lung appearance and shape. Because PLS is often a pre-requisite for other imaging analytics,…

Pneumonia, a respiratory infection brought on by bacteria or viruses, affects a large number of people, especially in developing and impoverished countries where high levels of pollution, unclean living conditions, and overcrowding are…

Lung diseases are a leading cause of child mortality in the developing world, with India accounting for approximately half of global pneumonia deaths (370,000) in 2016. Timely diagnosis is crucial for reducing mortality rates. This paper…

Deep Learning (DL) holds enormous potential for improving medical imaging diagnostics, yet the lack of interpretability in most models hampers clinical trust and adoption. This paper presents an explainable deep learning framework for…

Pneumonia is caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi that infect the lungs, which, if not diagnosed, can be fatal and lead to respiratory failure. More than 250,000 individuals in the United States, mainly adults, are diagnosed with pneumonia…

Segmentation of lung tissue in computed tomography (CT) images is a precursor to most pulmonary image analysis applications. Semantic segmentation methods using deep learning have exhibited top-tier performance in recent years, however…

In this paper we present a methodology that uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for segmentation by iteratively growing predicted mask regions in each coordinate direction. The CNN is used to predict class probability scores in a…

We introduce a new computer aided detection and diagnosis system for lung cancer screening with low-dose CT scans that produces meaningful probability assessments. Our system is based entirely on 3D convolutional neural networks and…

Listening to lung sounds through auscultation is vital in examining the respiratory system for abnormalities. Automated analysis of lung auscultation sounds can be beneficial to the health systems in low-resource settings where there is a…

The adaptability of the convolutional neural network (CNN) technique for aerodynamic meta-modeling tasks is probed in this work. The primary objective is to develop suitable CNN architecture for variable flow conditions and object geometry,…

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…

An important part of breast cancer staging is the assessment of the sentinel axillary node for early signs of tumor spreading. However, this assessment by pathologists is not always easy and retrospective surveys often requalify the status…

Leaf disease is a common fatal disease for plants. Early diagnosis and detection is necessary in order to improve the prognosis of leaf diseases affecting plant. For predicting leaf disease, several automated systems have already been…

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…

Pneumothorax, also called a collapsed lung, refers to the presence of the air in the pleural space between the lung and chest wall. It can be small (no need for treatment), or large and causes death if it is not identified and treated on…

Pneumonia has been one of the fatal diseases and has the potential to result in severe consequences within a short period of time, due to the flow of fluid in lungs, which leads to drowning. If not acted upon by drugs at the right time,…

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…

To predict lung nodule malignancy with a high sensitivity and specificity, we propose a fusion algorithm that combines handcrafted features (HF) into the features learned at the output layer of a 3D deep convolutional neural network (CNN).…

The process of determining which disease or condition explains a person's symptoms and signs can be very complicated and may be inaccurate in some cases. The general belief is that diagnosing diseases relies on doctors' keen intuition, rich…

Covid-19 is a very serious deadly disease that has been announced as a pandemic by the world health organization (WHO). The whole world is working with all its might to end Covid-19 pandemic, which puts countries in serious health and…
