Fibrosis-Net: A Tailored Deep Convolutional Neural Network Design for Prediction of Pulmonary Fibrosis Progression from Chest CT Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating chronic lung disease that causes irreparable lung tissue scarring and damage, resulting in progressive loss in lung capacity and has no known cure. A critical step in the treatment and management of pulmonary fibrosis is the assessment of lung function decline, with computed tomography (CT) imaging being a ...

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hyperpolarized (HP) gas pulmonary MR ventilation images are typically quantified using ventilation defect percent (VDP); however, the test‐retest variability of VDP has not been systematically established in multi‐center trials. Herein, we perform a systematic review of the test‐retest literature on the variability of VDP, and similar metrics,
