The aim of this work was to investigate radiomic analysis contrast and non-contrast enhanced planning CT images oesophageal cancer (OC) patients in terms stability, dimensionality agent dependency. prognostic significance CT-based features also evaluated. Different 2D 3D were extracted from 213 the multi-centre SCOPE1 randomised controlled trial (RCT) OC. Feature stability evaluated by randomly dividing into three groups identifying textures with similar distributions among a Kruskal-Wallis...

To propose a nearly automated left ventricular (LV) three-dimensional (3D) surface segmentation procedure, based on active shape modelling (ASM) and built database of 3D echocardiographic (3DE) LV surfaces, for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images, to test its accuracy volumes computation compared with ‘gold standard’ manual tracings discs-summation method. The ASM was created segmented surfaces (4D analysis, Tomtec) from 3DE datasets 205 patients. Then, it applied the imaging short-axis...

Accurate classification of haematological cells is critical for diagnosing blood disorders, but presents significant challenges machine automation owing to the complexity cell morphology, heterogeneities biological, pathological, and imaging characteristics, imbalance type frequencies. We introduce CytoDiffusion, a diffusion-based classifier that effectively models combining accurate with robust anomaly detection, resistance distributional shifts, interpretability, data efficiency,...

Target volume delineation (TVD) has been identified as a weakness in the accuracy of radiotherapy, both within and outside clinical trials due to intra/interobserver variations affecting TVD quality. Sources such poor compliance or protocol violation may have adverse effect on treatment outcomes. In this paper, we present describe FIELDRT software developed for ARENA project improve quality through qualitative quantitative feedbacks individual personalized summary trainee"s performance.For...

Statistical shape models (SSMs) represent a powerful tool used in patient-specific modeling to segment medical images because they incorporate a-priori knowledge that guide the model during deformation. Our aim was evaluate segmentation accuracy terms of left ventricular (LV) volumes obtained using four different SSMs versus manual gold standard tracing on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. A database 3D echocardiographic (3DE) LV surfaces 435 patients generate SSMs, based phase...

Statistical shape modelling (SSM) approaches have been proposed as a powerful tool to segment the left ventricle in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images.Our aim was extend this method RV cavity CMR images and validate it compared conventional gold-standard (GS) manual tracing.A SSM of built using database 4347 intrinsically 3D surfaces, extracted from transthoracic echocardiographic (3DE) 219 retrospective patients.The then scaled deformed on base some features extracted, with different...
