Weakly Supervised Deep Learning for COVID-19 Infection Detection and Classification from CT Images [PDF]
An outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (i.e., COVID-19) has been recorded in Wuhan, China since late December 2019, which subsequently became pandemic around the world. Although COVID-19 is an acutely treated disease, it can also be fatal with a risk of fatality of 4.03% in China and the highest of 13.04% in Algeria and 12.67% Italy (as of 8th ...

Pressure- and time-dependent alveolar recruitment/derecruitment in a spatially resolved patient-specific computational model for injured human lungs [PDF]
We present a novel computational model for the dynamics of alveolar recruitment/derecruitment (RD), which reproduces the underlying characteristics typically observed in injured lungs. The basic idea is a pressure- and time-dependent variation of the stress-free reference volume in reduced dimensional viscoelastic elements representing the acinar ...

A Comparative Study of U-Net Topologies for Background Removal in Histopathology Images [PDF]
During the last decade, the digitization of pathology has gained considerable momentum. Digital pathology offers many advantages including more efficient workflows, easier collaboration as well as a powerful venue for telepathology. At the same time, applying Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) on Whole Slide Images (WSIs) has received substantial attention

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Segmentation in CBCT images using Connectivity-Based Selective Re-training [PDF]
Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) canal detection in CBCT is an important step in many dental and maxillofacial surgery applications to prevent irreversible damage to the nerve during the procedure.The ToothFairy2023 Challenge aims to establish a 3D maxillofacial dataset consisting of all sparse labels and partial dense labels, and improve the ability of ...

Fluid-structure interaction analysis of airflow in the lung alveolus [PDF]
The flow simulation in alveolar region is imperative in understanding transport of particles and designing aerosol drug delivery systems. Air flow is dependent on alveolar geometry and ventilation conditions. In this work a three dimensional honey-comb like geometry is constructed.
