Lung cancer is one of the deadliest diseases and the leading cause of illness and death. Since lung cancer cannot predicted at premature stage, it able to only be discovered more broadly once it has spread to other lung parts. The risk…

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the classification and detection of Silicosis-related lung inflammation. Our main contributions include 1) the creation of a newly curated chest X-ray (CXR) image dataset named SVBCX that is…

Survival prediction is a crucial task associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. This paper presents a novel approach to survival prediction by harnessing comprehensive information from CT and PET scans, along with associated…

Background and Purpose: Radiomics features are used to identify disease types and predict therapy outcomes. However, how the radiomics features are different among different anatomical structures has never been investigated. Hence, we…

Background: Accurate survival time estimates aid end-of-life medical decision-making. Objectives: Develop an interpretable survival model for elderly residential aged care residents using advanced machine learning. Setting: A major…

Purpose To develop and demonstrate a novel tumor shell feature for predicting distant failure in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and cervical cancer (CC) patients. Patients and Methods The shell predictive model was constructed using…

Computed Tomography (CT) is commonly used to image acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, but its interpretation by radiologists is time-consuming and subject to inter-observer variability. Deep learning (DL) techniques can provide automated…

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Conventional computed tomography (CT) imaging, while essential for detection and staging, has limitations in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions…

Despite the unprecedented performance of deep neural networks (DNNs) in computer vision, their practical application in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer using medical imaging has been limited. One of the critical challenges for…

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. While COPD diagnosis is based on lung function tests, early stages and progression of different aspects of the disease can be visible and…

Recent epidemiological data report that worldwide more than 53 million people have been infected by SARS-CoV-2, resulting in 1.3 million deaths. The disease has been spreading very rapidly and few months after the identification of the…

Intensive care clinicians need reliable clinical practice tools to preempt unexpected critical events that might harm their patients in intensive care units (ICU), to pre-plan timely interventions, and to keep the patient's family well…

Automated segmentation of lung abnormalities in computed tomography is an important step for diagnosing and characterizing lung disease. In this work, we improve upon a previous method and propose S-MEDSeg, a deep learning based approach…

Late-life depression (LLD) is a highly prevalent mood disorder occurring in older adults and is frequently accompanied by cognitive impairment (CI). Studies have shown that LLD may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the…

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a severe genetic hemoglobin disorder that results in premature destruction of red blood cells. Assessment of the severity of the disease is a challenging task in clinical routine since the causes of broad…

Chronic diseases such as diabetes are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Numerous research studies have been attempted with various deep learning models in diagnosis. However, most previous studies had certain…

Head Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scan remain the preferred primary imaging modality due to their widespread availability and speed. However, the current standard for manual annotations of abnormal brain tissue on head NCCT scans…

The cornerstone of stroke care is expedient management that varies depending on the time since stroke onset. Consequently, clinical decision making is centered on accurate knowledge of timing and often requires a radiologist to interpret…

The recent increase in morbidity is primarily due to chronic diseases including Diabetes, Heart disease, Lung cancer, and brain tumours. The results for patients can be improved, and the financial burden on the healthcare system can be…
