**Objectives** We sought to investigate if artificial medical images can blend with original ones and whether they adhere to the variable anatomical constraints provided. **Methods** Artificial images were generated with a generative model trained …
Objectives Estimating the maximum acceptable cost (MAC) per screened individual for low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer (LC) screening, and determining the effect of additionally screening for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), …
To investigate the effect of the slab thickness in maximum intensity projections (MIPs) on the candidate detection performance of a deep learning-based computer-aided detection (DL-CAD) system for pulmonary nodule detection in CT scans. The public …
In clinical practice, small lung nodules can be easily overlooked by radiologists. The paper aims to provide an efficient and accurate detection system for small lung nodules while keeping good performance for large nodules. We propose a multi-planar …
The aim of this phantom study was to investigate the effect of scan parameters and noise suppression techniques on the minimum radiation dose for acceptable image quality for CT emphysema densitometry. The COPDGene phantom was scanned on a third …
Lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and coronary artery disease (CAD) are expected to cause most deaths by 2050. State-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) allows early detection of lung cancer and simultaneous evaluation of …
Lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular disease are highly prevalent in the general population and expected to cause most deaths by 2050. For these “Big-3,” treatment might cure, delay, or stop the progression of …
