Background A common promoter polymorphism (rs35705950) in MUC5B, the gene encoding
mucin 5B, is associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It is not known whether this …

Rationale: The relationship between the development and/or progression of interstitial lung
abnormalities (ILA) and clinical outcomes has not been previously investigated. Objectives: …

Purpose To assess the robustness and repeatability of intravoxel incoherent motion model (IVIM)
parameter estimation for the diffusion‐weighted MRI in the abdominal organs under …

Kidney function evaluation using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) images could
help in diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases of children. Automatic segmentation of …

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have recently achieved superior performance at
the task of medical image segmentation compared to classic models. However, training a …

Automatic aorta segmentation in thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans is important for
aortic calcification quantification and to guide the segmentation of other central vessels. We …

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to develop a fully automated pipeline to compute aorta
morphology and calcification measures in large cohorts of CT scans that can be used to …

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) images skin noninvasively, with optical sectioning
and nuclear-level resolution comparable with that of pathology. On the basis of the …

Deep learning with convolutional neural networks (CNN) has achieved unprecedented
success in segmentation, however it requires large training data, which is expensive to obtain. …

The goal of functional renal imaging is to identify and quantitate irreversible renal damage
and nephron loss, as well as potentially reversible hemodynamic changes. MR urography has …
