Explainable machine learning for neoplasms diagnosis via electrocardiograms: an externally validated study [PDF]
Background: Neoplasms remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with timely diagnosis being crucial for improving patient outcomes. Current diagnostic methods are often invasive, costly, and inaccessible to many populations. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data, widely available and non-invasive, has the potential to serve as a tool for neoplasms ...

Renal Cell Carcinoma Embolization for the Treatment of Budd–Chiari Syndrome
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the eighth most common malignancy, accounting for 3% of all newly diagnosed neoplasms. RCC venous invasion occurs in 4 to 10% of cases. We report a case of RCC with extensive vascular invasion and new-onset liver dysfunction.

A Conditional Point Cloud Diffusion Model for Deformable Liver Motion Tracking Via a Single Arbitrarily-Angled X-ray Projection [PDF]
Deformable liver motion tracking using a single X-ray projection enables real-time motion monitoring and treatment intervention. We introduce a conditional point cloud diffusion model-based framework for accurate and robust liver motion tracking from arbitrarily angled single X-ray projections (PCD-Liver), which estimates volumetric liver motion by ...

Hierarchical Convolutional-Deconvolutional Neural Networks for Automatic Liver and Tumor Segmentation [PDF]
Automatic segmentation of liver and its tumors is an essential step for extracting quantitative imaging biomarkers for accurate tumor detection, diagnosis, prognosis and assessment of tumor response to treatment. MICCAI 2017 Liver Tumor Segmentation Challenge (LiTS) provides a common platform for comparing different automatic algorithms on contrast ...

Deep Learning-Based Automatic Delineation of Liver Domes in kV Triggered Images for Online Breath-hold Reproducibility Verification of Liver Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy [PDF]
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) can be a precise, minimally invasive treatment method for liver cancer and liver metastases. However, the effectiveness of SBRT relies on the accurate delivery of the dose to the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. Challenges persist in ensuring breath-hold reproducibility, with current methods often requiring

Liver lesion segmentation informed by joint liver segmentation [PDF]
We propose a model for the joint segmentation of the liver and liver lesions in computed tomography (CT) volumes. We build the model from two fully convolutional networks, connected in tandem and trained together end-to-end. We evaluate our approach on the 2017 MICCAI Liver Tumour Segmentation Challenge, attaining competitive liver and liver lesion ...

End-to-End Discriminative Deep Network for Liver Lesion Classification [PDF]
Colorectal liver metastasis is one of most aggressive liver malignancies. While the definition of lesion type based on CT images determines the diagnosis and therapeutic strategy, the discrimination between cancerous and non-cancerous lesions are critical and requires highly skilled expertise, experience and time.
