The metabolic syndrome induced by obesity is closely associated with cardiovascular disease, and the prevalence is increasing globally, year by year. Obesity is a risk marker for detecting this diseas...
In this study, a benchmark Abdominal Adipose Tissue CT Image Dataset (AATCT-IDS) containing 300 subjects is prepared and published. AATCT-IDS publics 13,732 raw CT slices, and the researchers individu...
In the comparative study of image denoising, algorithms using a smoothing strategy suppress mixed noise at the expense of image details and obtain better evaluation data. Methods such as BM3D preserve...
AATCT-IDS contains the ground truth of adipose tissue regions in abdominal CT slices. This open-source dataset can attract researchers to explore the multi-dimensional characteristics of abdominal adi...
Advancements in cardiac imaging have revolutionized our understanding of ventricular contraction. While ejection fraction (EF) is still the gold standard parameter to assess left ventricle (LV) functi...
Retrospective monocenter study. Inclusion of every patient who underwent a CMR during a 15 months period with various clinical indication (congenital heart defect, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy). A mini...
GCS-SAX and GCS-LAX were correlated (...
This study highlights the need to integrate strain imaging techniques into clinical by incorporating strain parameters into EF calculations, because it gives a deeper understanding of cardiac mechanic...
Investigate the potential benefits of sequential deployment of two deep learning (DL) algorithms namely DL-Enhancement (DLE) and DL-based time-of-flight (ToF) (DLT). DLE aims to enhance the rapidly re...
Applying DLE + DLT reduced noise whilst improving lesion detectability, diagnostic confidence, and image reconstruction time. ToF-OSEM + DLE + DLT reconstructions demonstrated an increase in lesion SU...
The combination of DLE and DLT increased diagnostic confidence and lesion detectability compared to ToF-BSREM images. As DLE + DLT used input OSEM images, and because DL inferencing was fast, there wa...
It has been shown that AI models can learn race on medical images, leading to algorithmic bias. Our aim in this study was to enhance the fairness of medical image models by eliminating bias related to...
This study included 44,953 patients who identified as Asian, Black, or White (mean age, 60.68 years ±18.21; 23,499 women) for a total of 194,359 chest X-rays (CXRs) from MIMIC-CXR database. The includ...
In the detection of radiological findings, training a model using augmented CXR images was shown to reduce disparities in error rate among racial groups (-5.45%), age groups (-13.94%), and sex (-22.22...
The model trained using the augmented images was less likely to be influenced by demographic information in detecting image labels. These results demonstrate that the proposed augmentation scheme coul...

Investigations on plant-pathogen interactions require quantitative, accurate, and rapid phenotyping of crop diseases. However, visual assessment of disease symptoms is preferred over available numeric...
We developed an image analysis script in Python, called SeptoSympto. This script uses deep learning models based on the U-Net and YOLO architectures to quantify necrosis and pycnidia on detached, flat...
SeptoSympto takes the same amount of time as a visual assessment to evaluate STB symptoms. However, unlike visual assessments, it allows for data to be stored and evaluated by experts and non-experts ...
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of CT-like MR images reconstructed with an algorithm combining compressed sense (CS) with deep learning (DL) in patients with suspected osseous shoulder injury c...
Thirty-two patients (12 women, mean age 46 ± 14.9 years) with suspected traumatic shoulder injury were prospectively enrolled into the study. All patients received MR imaging of the shoulder, includin...
Compared to CT, all acute fractures (n = 23) and osseous pathologies were detected accurately on the CS only and CS DL images with almost perfect agreement between the CS DL and CS only images (κ 0.95...
Evaluation of traumatic shoulder pathologies is feasible using a DL-based algorithm for reconstruction of high-resolution CT-like MR imaging....
To explore the differences between low kiloelectron volt (keV) virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) using IQon spectral CT and conventional CT (120 kVp) in the diagnosis of osteoporosis....
This retrospective study included 317 patients who underwent IQon spectral CT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) examination. Commercial deep learning-based software was used for the fully aut...
Random forest-based prediction model obtained good overall performance among all classifiers, and macro/micro average AUC values of 0.820/840, 0.834/853, and 0.831/852 were obtained based on 40/70 keV...
The performance of the osteoporosis diagnosis model using IQon spectral CT simulating the low tube voltage scanning condition (less than 120 kVp) was also satisfactory. Bone density screening evaluati...

We aimed to compare the image quality and focal lesion detection ability of hepatobiliary phase (HBP) images obtained using compressed sensing (CS) and controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results ...
We retrospectively included 244 gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI from 244 patients with cirrhosis obtained by two HBP images using CS and CAIPIRINHA from July 2020 to December 2020. The optimized res...
CS-HBP showed comparable overall image quality (3.7 ± 0.9 vs. 3.6 ± 0.8, p = 0.680), superior liver edge sharpness (3.9 ± 0.6 vs. 3.6 ± 0.5, p < 0.001), and fewer respiratory motion artifacts (4.0 ± 0...
