Deep learning ensembles for detecting brain metastases in longitudinal multi-modal MRI studies.

Metastatic brain cancer is a condition characterized by the migration of cancer cells to the brain from extracranial sites. Notably, metastatic brain tumors surpass primary brain tumors in prevalence by a significant factor, they exhibit an aggressive growth potential and have the capacity to spread across diverse cerebral locations simultaneously. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of individuals afflicted with metastatic brain tumors unveil a wide spectrum of characteristics.

Detecting liver cirrhosis in computed tomography scans using clinically-inspired and radiomic features.

Hepatic cirrhosis is an increasing cause of mortality in developed countries-it is the pathological sequela of chronic liver diseases, and the final liver fibrosis stage. Since cirrhosis evolves from the asymptomatic phase, it is of paramount importance to detect it as quickly as possible, because entering the symptomatic phase commonly leads to hospitalization and can be fatal. Understanding the state of the liver based on the abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans is tedious, user-dependent and lacks reproducibility.
