Automated diagnosis of lung diseases using vision transformer: a comparative study on chest x-ray classification [PDF]
arXivBackground: Lung disease is a significant health issue, particularly in children and elderly individuals. It often results from lung infections and is one of the leading causes of mortality in children. Globally, lung-related diseases claim many lives each year, making early and accurate diagnoses crucial.

Autophagy and pulmonary disease
Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2019 Autophagy is a process of cell self-renewal that is dependent on the degradation of the cytoplasmic proteins or organelles of lysosomes. Many diseases, such as metabolic diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and lung diseases, have been confirmed

Deformable Image Registration of Dark-Field Chest Radiographs for Local Lung Signal Change Assessment [PDF]
arXivDark-field radiography of the human chest has been demonstrated to have promising potential for the analysis of the lung microstructure and the diagnosis of respiratory diseases. However, previous studies of dark-field chest radiographs evaluated the lung signal only in the inspiratory breathing state.

Subject2Vec: Generative-Discriminative Approach from a Set of Image Patches to a Vector [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We propose an attention-based method that aggregates local image features to a subject-level representation for predicting disease severity. In contrast to classical deep learning that requires a fixed dimensional input, our method operates on a set of image patches; hence it can accommodate variable length input image without image resizing. The model

Multi-View Transformers for Airway-To-Lung Ratio Inference on Cardiac CT Scans: The C4R Study [PDF]
arXivThe ratio of airway tree lumen to lung size (ALR), assessed at full inspiration on high resolution full-lung computed tomography (CT), is a major risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There is growing interest to infer ALR from cardiac CT images, which are widely available in epidemiological cohorts, to investigate the ...

Age-related changes in the respiratory system [PDF]
, 1999 This article summarises the main structural and physiological changes which take place in the lung from young adulthood to senescence. An understanding of these changes helps the clinician to correctly interpret some results of radiology and pulmonary ...
