Automated identification of chest radiographs with referable abnormality with deep learning: need for recalibration

European Radiology November 2020

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the calibration of a deep learning (DL) model in a diagnostic cohort, as well as to improve the model’s calibration through recalibration procedures. The authors found that the calibration of the DL algorithm can be augmented through simple recalibration procedures, and improved calibration may enhance the interpretability and credibility of the model

Emphysema quantification using low-dose computed tomography with deep learning-based kernel conversion comparison

European Radiology November 2020

This study used a sample of 131 participants who underwent low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and standard-dose computed tomography (SDCT) to determine the effect of dose reduction and kernel selection on quantifying emphysema. The authors determined that the deep learning-based CT kernel conversation of sharp kernel in LDCT significantly reduced the variation in emphysema quantification. Key points Low-dose computed tomography with

Deep learning for the determination of myometrial invasion depth and automatic lesion identification in endometrial cancer MR imaging

He Zhang July 2020

Endometrial cancer (EC) has the highest rate of malignancy in women in the entire world, including China, which has the largest population. Accurately staging EC prior to an invasive procedure still poses a challenge for clinicians. In the present study, we used more than five hundred EC patients’ MR images to train the computer to establish a deep learning diagnostic

Optimal matrix size of chest radiographs for computer-aided detection on lung nodule or mass with deep learning

European Radiology June 2020

In this study, the authors retrospectively collected 2,088 abnormal and 352 normal chest radiographs from two institutions in order to investigate the optimal input matrix size for deep learning-based computer-aided detection (CAD) of nodules and masses on chest radiographs. This resulted in the matrix size 896 as having the highest performance for various sizes of abnormalities using different convolutional neural

Accurate prediction of responses to transarterial chemoembolization for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma by using artificial intelligence in contrast-enhanced ultrasound

European Radiology April 2020

The aim of this study was to establish and validate an artificial intelligence-based radiomics strategy in order to predict personalized responses to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to first transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) by analyzing contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) cines quantitatively. This was done using 130 HCC patients, showing that a deep learning-based radiomics method can effectively utilize CEUS, resulting in accurate and personalized
