Abstract Lower back pain is one of the most common medical problems in the world and it is experienced by a huge percentage of people everywhere. Due to its ability to produce a detailed view of the soft tissues, including the spinal cord, nerves, intervertebral discs, and vertebrae, Magnetic Resonance Imaging is thought to be the most effective method for imaging the spine. The semantic segmentation of vertebrae plays a major role in the diagnostic process of lumbar diseases. It is difficult to semantically partition the vertebrae in Magnetic Resonance Images from the surrounding variety of… More >

Abstract The early symptom of lung tumor is always appeared as nodule on CT scans, among which 30% to 40% are malignant according to statistics studies. Therefore, early detection and classification of lung nodules are crucial to the treatment of lung cancer. With the increasing prevalence of lung cancer, large amount of CT images waiting for diagnosis are huge burdens to doctors who may missed or false detect abnormalities due to fatigue. Methods: In this study, we propose a novel lung nodule detection method based on YOLOv3 deep learning algorithm with only one preprocessing step is… More >
