TL;DR

3D-CNNs trained with vertebra-level labels can accurately and reliably classify vertebral metastatic lesion quality from CT scans, offering a scalable path toward automated characterization of metastatic spine disease to support clinical decision-making and large-scale radiomics research.

Artifact-Controlled Multi-Vertebral Transfer Learning Ensemble for Patient-Level Three-Class Osteoporosis Screening Using Thoracoabdominal CT-Derived Lumbar Images

Background/Objectives: Osteoporosis and osteopenia remain underdiagnosed despite routine CT examinations containing potentially useful bone information. This study evaluated the feasibility of patient-level three-class classification of Normal, Osteopenia, and Osteoporosis classes using lumbar vertebral PNG images deri...

Deep Learning-Based Anatomical Level Classification of Craniofacial CT Slices: Comparison of CNN Architectures and Ensemble Methods

Computed tomography (CT) interpretation requires recognition of the anatomical level of each slice. Classification may facilitate preprocessing and AI-assisted fracture diagnosis. We developed deep learning models to classify craniofacial CT slices into six anatomical categories. A total of 11,769 images were collected...

MRI-Based 2.5D Multi-Instance Deep Learning for Differentiating Pathological Subtypes of Brain Metastases From Lung Cancer.

BACKGROUND Distinct treatment strategies for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) brain metastases require accurate noninvasive subtyping. PURPOSE To develop and externally validate a biparametric MRI-based 2.5D multi-instance learning (MIL) deep learning (DL) model for discriminating...

Computed Tomography-Derived Sarcopenia and Two- Versus Three-Dimensional Body Composition for Prognostication in Colorectal Cancer Patients Receiving Chemoradiotherapy: An Automated Deep Learning Segmentation Study with External Reproducibility Assessment

Background: Skeletal muscle depletion predicts poor outcomes in gastrointestinal cancers, but whether volumetric three-dimensional (3D) body composition adds anything over the standard two-dimensional (2D) single-slice approach in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients receiving chemoradiotherapy is unclear. We quantified CT...
