extent by low proton density in the lung parenchyma and static field inhomogeneities in the …

With the development of functional imaging modalities we now have the ability to study the
microenvironment of lung cancer and its genomic instability. Radiomics is defined as the use …

Purpose: The development of computer‐aided diagnostic (CAD) methods for lung nodule
detection, classification, and quantitative assessment can be facilitated through a well‐…

Background The use of non-invasive imaging to identify ruptured or high-risk coronary
