One hundred eighty-six CT scans from 48 PM patients were segmented by a VGG16/U-Net CNN. A radiologist modified the contours generated at a 0.5 probability threshold. Percent difference of tumor volume and overlap using the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) were compared between the reference standard provided by the radiologist and CNN outputs for thresholds ranging from 0.001 to 0.9. CNN-derived contours consistently yielded smaller tumor volumes than radiologist contours. Reducing the probability threshold from 0.5 to 0.01 decreased the absolute percent volume difference, on average, from 42.93% to 26.60%. Median and mean DSC ranged from 0.57 to 0.59, with a peak at a threshold of 0.2; no distinct threshold was found for percent volume difference. The CNN exhibited deficiencies with specific disease presentations, such as severe pleural effusion or disease in the pleural fissure. No single output threshold in the CNN probability maps was optimal for both tumor volume and DSC. This study emphasized the importance of considering both figures of merit when evaluating deep learning-based tumor segmentations across probability thresholds. This work underscores the need to simultaneously assess tumor volume and spatial overlap when evaluating CNN performance.

In this work, a novel two-branch and multi-scale residual attention-based network for low-dose CT image denoising is proposed. It adopts a two-branch framework structure, to extract and fuse image features at shallow and deep levels respectively, to recover image texture and structure information as much as possible. We propose the adaptive dynamic convolution block (ADCB) in the local information extraction layer. It can effectively extract the detailed information of low-dose CT denoising and enables the network to better capture the local details and texture features of the image, thereby improving the denoising effect and image quality. Multi-scale edge enhancement attention block (MEAB) is proposed in the global information extraction layer, to perform feature fusion through dilated convolution and a multi-dimensional attention mechanism. A multi-scale residual convolution block (MRCB) is proposed to integrate feature information and improve the robustness and generalization of the network. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, extensive comparison experiments are conducted and the performances evaluated on two publicly available datasets. Our model achieves 29.3004 PSNR, 0.8659 SSIM, and 14.0284 RMSE on the AAPM-Mayo dataset. It is evaluated by adding four different noise levels σ = 15, 30, 45, and 60 on the Qin_LUNG_CT dataset and achieves the best results.

Our comprehensive approach involved retrospective clinical and MRI data collection of 276 eligible NPC patients from three independent hospitals (180 in the training cohort, 46 in the validation cohort, and 50 in the external cohort) who underwent MRI scans twice, once within 2 months prior to treatment and once within 10 months after treatment. From the contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images before and after treatment, 3404 radiomics features were extracted. These features were not only derived from the primary lesion but also from the adjacent lymph nodes surrounding the tumor. We conducted appropriate feature selection pipelines, followed by Cox proportional hazards models for survival analysis. Model evaluation was performed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the Kaplan–Meier method, and nomogram construction.

The accurate localization of colorectal polyps in endoscopy images is pivotal for timely detection and removal, contributing significantly to CRC prevention. The manual analysis of images generated by gastrointestinal screening technologies poses a tedious task for doctors. Therefore, computer vision-assisted cancer detection could serve as an efficient tool for polyp segmentation. Numerous efforts have been dedicated to automating polyp localization, with the majority of studies relying on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to learn features from polyp images. Despite their success in polyp segmentation tasks, CNNs exhibit significant limitations in precisely determining polyp location and shape due to their sole reliance on learning local features from images. While gastrointestinal images manifest significant variation in their features, encompassing both high- and low-level ones, a framework that combines the ability to learn both features of polyps is desired. This paper introduces UViT-Seg, a framework designed for polyp segmentation in gastrointestinal images. Operating on an encoder-decoder architecture, UViT-Seg employs two distinct feature extraction methods. A vision transformer in the encoder section captures long-range semantic information, while a CNN module, integrating squeeze-excitation and dual attention mechanisms, captures low-level features, focusing on critical image regions. Experimental evaluations conducted on five public datasets, including CVC clinic, ColonDB, Kvasir-SEG, ETIS LaribDB, and Kvasir Capsule-SEG, demonstrate UViT-Seg’s effectiveness in polyp localization. To confirm its generalization performance, the model is tested on datasets not used in training. Benchmarking against common segmentation methods and state-of-the-art polyp segmentation approaches, the proposed model yields promising results. For instance, it achieves a mean Dice coefficient of 0.915 and a mean intersection over union of 0.902 on the CVC Colon dataset. Furthermore, UViT-Seg has the advantage of being efficient, requiring fewer computational resources for both training and testing. This feature positions it as an optimal choice for real-world deployment scenarios.</p>","PeriodicalId":50214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Digital Imaging","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140799442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
