Nowadays, pulmonary Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is the main tool for detecting Pulmonary Embolism (PE). However, manual interpretation of CTA volume requires a radiologist, which is time-consuming and error-prone due to the…

Deep learning models for pulmonary disease screening from Computed Tomography (CT) scans promise to alleviate the immense workload on radiologists. Still, their high computational cost, stemming from processing entire 3D volumes, remains a…

Accurate quantification of the extent of lung pathological patterns (fibrosis, ground-glass opacity, emphysema, consolidation) is prerequisite for diagnosis and follow-up of interstitial lung diseases. However, segmentation is challenging…

To characterize lobar and segmental airway volume differences between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and those without ILD (non-ILD) using a deep learning-based approach on non-contrast…

Pulmonary embolisms (PE) are known to be one of the leading causes for cardiac-related mortality. Due to inherent variabilities in how PE manifests and the cumbersome nature of manual diagnosis, there is growing interest in leveraging AI…

Background: Accurate chamber volumetry from gated, non-contrast cardiac CT (NCCT) scans can be useful for potential screening of heart failure. Objectives: To validate a new, fully automated, AI-based method for cardiac volume and…

Background: It is fundamental for accurate segmentation and quantification of the pulmonary vessel, particularly smaller vessels, from computed tomography (CT) images in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Objective: The…

CT Perfusion (CTP) imaging has gained importance in the diagnosis of acute stroke. Conventional perfusion analysis performs a deconvolution of the measurements and thresholds the perfusion parameters to determine the tissue status. We…

Accurate quantification in positron emission tomography (PET) is essential for accurate diagnostic results and effective treatment tracking. A major issue encountered in PET imaging is attenuation. Attenuation refers to the diminution of…

Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a group of life threatening conditions of the aorta. We have developed an end-to-end automatic approach to detect AAS in computed tomography (CT) images. Our approach consists of two steps. At first, we…

Computerized Tomography Angiography (CTA) based follow-up of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) treated with Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is essential to evaluate the progress of the patient and detect complications. In this context,…

Background. Fully automatic analysis of myocardial perfusion MRI datasets enables rapid and objective reporting of stress/rest studies in patients with suspected ischemic heart disease. Developing deep learning techniques that can analyze…

Pulmonary embolus (PE) refers to obstruction of pulmonary arteries by blood clots. PE accounts for approximately 100,000 deaths per year in the United States alone. The clinical presentation of PE is often nonspecific, making the diagnosis…

Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a fatal disease which potentially leads to dissection or rupture through progressive enlargement of the aorta. It is usually asymptomatic and screening recommendation are limited. The gold-standard…

Accurate segmentation of pulmonary vessels plays a very critical role in diagnosing and assessing various lung diseases. Currently, many automated algorithms are primarily targeted at CTPA (Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography) types…

Objective: In this work, we set out to investigate the accuracy of direct attenuation correction (AC) in the image domain for the myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging (MPI-SPECT) using two residual (ResNet) and UNet deep convolutional neural…

The widespread adoption of CT has notably increased the number of detected lung nodules. However, current deep learning methods for classifying benign and malignant nodules often fail to comprehensively integrate global and local features,…

Multi-window CT imaging captures complementary pathological information across anatomical structures of differing densities, yet existing deep learning methods fuse representations only at later stages, missing cross-density interactions.…

Pleural effusion semantic segmentation can significantly enhance the accuracy and timeliness of clinical diagnosis and treatment by precisely identifying disease severity and lesion areas. Currently, semantic segmentation of pleural…

We present a pulmonary vessel segmentation algorithm, which is fast, fully automatic and robust. It uses a coarse segmentation of the airway tree and a left and right lung labeled volume to restrict a vessel enhancement filter, based on an…
