Radiation dose in pregnancy

Due to the high radiosensitivity of the fetus and embryo, diagnostic imaging procedures for pregnant patients raise health concerns. Therefore, the authors of this work set out to develop a methodology for automated construction of patient-specific computational phantoms based on actual patient CT images with the aim of achieving accurate estimate of conceptus dose. Key points The conceptus dose during

Deep learning to differentiate parkinsonian disorders separately using single midsagittal MR imaging

In an attempt to determine whether deep learning with the convolutional neural networks (CNN) can be used for identifying parkinsonian disorder on MRI, the authors of this study trained the CNN to distinguish each parkinsonian disorder and then assessed the CNN’s performance. The levels of accuracy achieved confirmed that deep learning with CNN can discriminate parkinsonian disorders with high accuracy.

Taking artificial intelligence out of the black box: An “interpretable” deep learning system for liver tumour diagnosis

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have demonstrated the potential to become effective and accurate decision support tools for radiologists. A major barrier to clinical translation, however, is that the majority of such algorithms currently function like a “black box”. After training a CNN with a large set of input and output data, its internal layers are automatically adjusted to mathematically “map”

Convolutional neural networks: an overview and application in radiology

Numerous domains, including radiology, have shown interest in convolutional neural network (CNN) – a class of artificial neural networks that has become dominant in various computer vision tasks. It is designed to automatically and adaptively learn spatial hierarchies of features through backpropagation by using multiple building blocks, such as convolution layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers.
