Radiomics in predicting treatment response in non-small-cell lung cancer: current status, challenges and future perspectives

This literature review summarizes the current status and evaluates the scientific reporting quality of radiomics research in the prediction of treatment response in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The authors performed this literature review through a comprehensive literature search using the PubMed database, screening a total of 178 articles for eligibility. Key points The included studies reported several promising radiomic markers

Motion-corrected coronary calcium scores by a CNN: a robotic simulating study

The authors of this study aimed to classify motion-induced blurred images of calcified coronary plaques, in order to correct coronary calcium scored on non-triggered chest computed tomography (CT). They did so by using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) which was trained using a selection of images of motion artifacts. Key points A deep CNN architecture trained by CT images

Deep learning to convert unstructured CT pulmonary angiography reports into structured reports

We believe that the possibilities for artificial intelligence (AI) over the coming years will be limited only by our imagination. While there is a tremendous amount of warranted excitement for disease detection, characterization, and quantification with AI algorithms, less rousing but still valuable efforts can and should be made to improve operational efficiency and even reduce the growing problem of

Radiomic feature reproducibility in contrast-enhanced CT of the pancreas is affected by variabilities in scan parameters and manual segmentation

The goal of this study was to measure the reproducibility of radiomic features in pancreatic parenchyma and ductal adenocarcinomas in patients who underwent consecutive contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scans. A majority of features were not reproducible (as defined by a concordance correlation coefficient of greater than 0.9) when comparing their values across consecutive CECTs obtained within a two week period.
