A Gradient Mapping Guided Explainable Deep Neural Network for Extracapsular Extension Identification in 3D Head and Neck Cancer Computed Tomography Images [PDF]
Diagnosis and treatment management for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is guided by routine diagnostic head and neck computed tomography (CT) scans to identify tumor and lymph node features. Extracapsular extension (ECE) is a strong predictor of patients' survival outcomes with HNSCC.

Segmentation of 3D High-frequency Ultrasound Images of Human Lymph Nodes Using Graph Cut with Energy Functional Adapted to Local Intensity Distribution [PDF]
Previous studies by our group have shown that three-dimensional high-frequency quantitative ultrasound methods have the potential to differentiate metastatic lymph nodes from cancer-free lymph nodes dissected from human cancer patients. To successfully perform these methods inside the lymph node parenchyma, an automatic segmentation method is highly ...

Anatomy-Aware Lymph Node Detection in Chest CT using Implicit Station Stratification [PDF]
Finding abnormal lymph nodes in radiological images is highly important for various medical tasks such as cancer metastasis staging and radiotherapy planning. Lymph nodes (LNs) are small glands scattered throughout the body. They are grouped or defined to various LN stations according to their anatomical locations. The CT imaging appearance and context
