Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown great promise in improving computer aided detection (CADe). From classifying tumors found via mammography as benign or malignant to automated detection of colorectal polyps in CT colonography,…
Whole-slide image classification for invasive lung adenocarcinoma subtyping remains vulnerable to real-world imaging perturbations that undermine model reliability at the decision boundary. We propose a margin consistency framework…
Automatic diagnosing lung cancer from Computed Tomography (CT) scans involves two steps: detect all suspicious lesions (pulmonary nodules) and evaluate the whole-lung/pulmonary malignancy. Currently, there are many studies about the first…
Cancer patient diagnosis and prognosis is informed by assessment of morphological properties observed in patient tissue. Pathologists normally carry out this assessment, yet advances in computational image analysis provide opportunities for…
Malignant mesothelioma is classified into three histological subtypes, Epithelioid, Sarcomatoid, and Biphasic according to the relative proportions of epithelioid and sarcomatoid tumor cells present. Biphasic tumors display significant…
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Early diagnosis of pulmonary nodules in Computed Tomography (CT) chest scans provides an opportunity for designing effective treatment and making financial and care plans.…
Early detection and quantification of tumour growth would help clinicians to prescribe more accurate treatments and provide better surgical planning. However, the multifactorial and heterogeneous nature of lung tumour progression hampers…
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…
Histopathological images are widely used for the analysis of diseased (tumor) tissues and patient treatment selection. While the majority of microscopy image processing was previously done manually by pathologists, recent advances in…
The limited sample size and insufficient diversity of lung nodule CT datasets severely restrict the performance and generalization ability of detection models. Existing methods generate images with insufficient diversity and…
