Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is highly contagious with limited treatment options. Early and accurate diagnosis of Covid-19 crucial in reducing the spread its accompanied mortality. Currently, detection by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) gold standard outpatient inpatient Covid-19. RT-PCR a rapid method; however, accuracy only ~70-75%. Another approved strategy computed tomography (CT) imaging. CT imaging has much higher sensitivity ~80-98%, but similar 70%. To...
To train a convolutional neural network (CNN) model from scratch to automatically detect tuberculosis (TB) chest X-ray (CXR) images and compare its performance with transfer learning based technique of different pre-trained CNNs.We used two publicly available datasets postero-anterior radiographs, which are Montgomery County, Maryland, Shenzhen, China. A CNN (ConvNet) was trained TB on radiographs. Also, CNN-based approach using five models, including Inception_v3, Xception, ResNet50, VGG19,...
PurposeTo establish the early prediction models of radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) based on baseline CT-based radiomic features (RFs), dosimetric data, and clinical by machine learning for head neck cancer (HNC) patients.MethodsIn this single-center prospective study, 49 HNCs treated with curative intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) were enrolled. Baseline CT images (i.e., simulation), dosimetric, collected. RIOM was assessed using CTCAE v.5.0. RFs extracted from...
Pneumonia is a lung infection and causes the inflammation of small air sacs (Alveoli) in one or both lungs. Proper faster diagnosis pneumonia at an early stage imperative for optimal patient care. Currently, chest X-ray considered as best imaging modality diagnosing pneumonia. However, interpretation images challenging. To this end, we aimed to use automated convolutional neural network-based transfer-learning approach detect paediatric radiographs.Herein, using four different pre-trained...

Background: Generalizability and domain dependency are critical challenges in developing predictive models for healthcare, particularly medical diagnostics radiation oncology. Predictive designed to assess tumor recurrence rely on comprehensive high-quality datasets, encompassing treatment planning parameters, imaging protocols, patient-specific data. However, dependency, arising from variations dose calculation algorithms, computed tomography (CT) density conversion curves, modalities,...
Artificial intelligence in automatic classification of invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer digital pathology images
Abstract In this study, an inter-fraction organ deformation simulation framework for the locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), which considers anatomical flexibility, rigidity, and motion within image deformation, was proposed. Data included 57 CT scans (7202 2D slices) of patients with LACC randomly divided into train ( n = 42) test 15) datasets. addition to images corresponding RT structure (bladder, cervix, rectum), bone segmented, coaches were eliminated. The correlated stochastic...
Purpose Evaluation of the organ dose in pediatric patients up to 15 years old and Estimation lifetime attributable risk (LAR) cancer incidence computed tomography procedures.Materials methods Data from 532 below was collected they were categorized into four age groups <1, 1–5, 5–10, 10–15 old. NCICT software used calculate dose, LAR has been estimated according BEIR VII report.Results The highest median all related eye lens (head scan), thyroid (chest colon (abdomen-pelvic scan). average...
Objectives This study investigated the potential of a clinical decision support approach for classification metastatic and tumor‐free cervical lymph nodes (LNs) in papillary thyroid carcinoma on basis radiologic textural analysis through ultrasound (US) imaging. Methods In this research, 170 LNs were examined by proposed method. To discover difference between groups, US imaging was used extraction features. The features B‐mode scans included echogenicity, margin, shape, presence...
This study was designed to assess the dose accumulation (DA) of bladder and rectum between brachytherapy fractions using hybrid-based deformable image registration (DIR) compare it with simple summation (SS) approach GEC-ESTRO in cervical cancer patients.Patients (n = 137) treated 3D conformal radiotherapy three high-dose-rate were selected. CT images acquired delineate organs at risk targets according recommendations. In order determine DA for rectum, DIR done different results compared...
Studies have shown that radiomic features are sensitive to the variability of imaging parameters (e.g., scanner models), and one major challenges in these studies lies improving robustness quantitative against variations datasets from multi-center studies. Here, we assess impact choice on computed tomography (CT)-derived predict association oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma with human papillomavirus (HPV). This experiment was performed CT image acquired two different manufacturers. We...
Metal artifacts are one of the major issues encountered in computed tomography (CT) images since they may make distinguishing healthy and tumor organs computing dose distribution through radiotherapy very difficult. Accordingly, designing generative adversarial neural networks (GANs) will help reduce metal artifacts. Training validating with without were simulated MATLAB. Then, these used as input data for GAN, while CT 30 patients head neck cancer testing GAN. Finally, quality metrics...
