Beyond the Lungs: Extending the Field of View in Chest CT with Latent Diffusion Models

Lianrui Zuo, Kaiwen Xu, Dingjie Su +8

The interconnection between the human lungs and other organs, such as the liver and kidneys, is crucial for understanding the underlying risks and effects of lung diseases and impr…

No winners: Performance of lung cancer prediction models depends on screening-detected, incidental, and biopsied pulmonary nodule use cases

Thomas Z. Li, Kaiwen Xu, Aravind Krishnan +14

Statistical models for predicting lung cancer have the potential to facilitate earlier diagnosis of malignancy and avoid invasive workup of benign disease. Many models have been pu…

Inter-vendor harmonization of Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction kernels using unpaired image translation

Aravind R. Krishnan, Kaiwen Xu, Thomas Li +9

The reconstruction kernel in computed tomography (CT) generation determines the texture of the image. Consistency in reconstruction kernels is important as the underlying CT textur…

Time-distance vision transformers in lung cancer diagnosis from longitudinal computed tomography

Thomas Z. Li, Kaiwen Xu, Riqiang Gao +5

Features learned from single radiologic images are unable to provide information about whether and how much a lesion may be changing over time. Time-dependent features computed fro…

Body Composition Assessment with Limited Field-of-view Computed Tomography: A Semantic Image Extension Perspective

Kaiwen Xu, Thomas Li, Mirza S. Khan +6

Field-of-view (FOV) tissue truncation beyond the lungs is common in routine lung screening computed tomography (CT). This poses limitations for opportunistic CT- based body composi…

A Comparative Study of Confidence Calibration in Deep Learning: From Computer Vision to Medical Imaging

Riqiang Gao, Thomas Li, Yucheng Tang +7

Although deep learning prediction models have been successful in the discrimination of different classes, they can often suffer from poor calibration across challenging domains inc…

Technical Report: Quality Assessment Tool for Machine Learning with Clinical CT

Riqiang Gao, Mirza S. Khan, Yucheng Tang +6

Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is important for scientific inquiry, especially in medical imaging and machine learning. Potential data quality issues can be exacerbated when human-…

Lung Cancer Risk Estimation with Incomplete Data: A Joint Missing Imputation Perspective

Riqiang Gao, Yucheng Tang, Kaiwen Xu +7

Data from multi-modality provide complementary information in clinical prediction, but missing data in clinical cohorts limits the number of subjects in multi-modal learning contex…

Development and Characterization of a Chest CT Atlas

Kaiwen Xu, Riqiang Gao, Mirza S. Khan +8

A major goal of lung cancer screening is to identify individuals with particular phenotypes that are associated with high risk of cancer. Identifying relevant phenotypes is complic…

Internal-transfer Weighting of Multi-task Learning for Lung Cancer Detection

Yiyuan Yang, Riqiang Gao, Yucheng Tang +6

Recently, multi-task networks have shown to both offer additional estimation capabilities, and, perhaps more importantly, increased performance over single-task networks on a "main…

Deep Multi-task Prediction of Lung Cancer and Cancer-free Progression from Censored Heterogenous Clinical Imaging

Riqiang Gao, Lingfeng Li, Yucheng Tang +6

Annual low dose computed tomography (CT) lung screening is currently advised for individuals at high risk of lung cancer (e.g., heavy smokers between 55 and 80 years old). The reco…
