on imaging methods and histological assessment. However, imaging examinations are …

Background Microplastic pollution has become a serious global environmental threat. The
abundance of microplastics in the air is an order of magnitude higher than that in other …

Objective To develop a deep learning–based artificial intelligence (AI) scheme for predicting
the likelihood of the ground-glass nodule (GGN) detected on CT images being invasive …

Background Cryobiopsy enables specialists to perform high-quality, large, entirely
circumferential biopsies; therefore, it may improve the diagnostic yield of peripheral …

Suspicious nodules detected by radiography are often investigated by biopsy, but the
diagnostic yield of biopsies of small nodules is poor. Here we report a method—NIR-nCLE …

Pulmonary ground glass opacity (GGO) is becoming an important clinical dilemma in
oncology as its diagnosis in clinical practice is increasing due to the introduction of low dose …

For stage-I lung adenocarcinoma, the 5-years disease-free survival (DFS) rates of non-
invasive adenocarcinoma (non-IA) is different with invasive adenocarcinoma (IA). This study …

Objectives. This study aims to develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) scheme to
classify between benign and malignant ground glass nodules (GGNs), and fuse deep …

Background While lepidic-predominant lung adenocarcinomas are known to have better
outcomes than similarly sized solid tumors, the impact of smaller noninvasive foci within …
