Abstract Saliency methods, which produce heat maps that highlight the areas of medical image influence model prediction, are often presented to clinicians as an aid in diagnostic decision-making. However, rigorous investigation accuracy and reliability these strategies is necessary before they integrated into clinical setting. In this work, we quantitatively evaluate seven saliency including Gr...

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused large-scale outbreaks in more than 150 countries worldwide, causing massive damage to the livelihood of many people. capacity identify contaminated patients early and get unique treatment is quite possibly primary stride battle against COVID-19. One quickest ways diagnose use radiography radiology images detect disease. Early studies have shown that chest X-rays...

Between November and April 2001 and 2005, 265 children with typical bronchiolitis were enrolled in a prospective cohort study. All patients were classified by Respiratory Disease Assessment Instrument (RDAI) clinical score, were treated with 2–3 consecutive nebulisations of 2.5 mg albuterol, and underwent chest radiography. Radiographs were interpreted by a radiologist as simple, complex or inc...

This paper proposes a new domain of human identification based on the classification of chest x-ray images. Like fingerprint, retina or face images have been used for human identification, the question whether chest x-ray images can provide valid, accurate and reliable information about the identity of an individual has not been investigated so far and is thus proposed here. Various approaches ...

An increasing number of diagnostic X-ray departments are opening their doors for direct referral of patients from general practitioners without the intervention of a clinical consultant before the patient is radiographed. Communication between diagnostic radiologist and practitioner is direct and hence increased responsibility falls upon both. With this in mind we are concerned with two associa...

The initial chest x-ray is used to classify the stage of sarcoidosis. This report shows x-rays with findings of Stages I to IV. Underwriting sarcoidosis requires information of the history, the stage and pulmonary function tests.

OBJECTIVE Mediastinal and pleural drains are routinely employed following open-heart surgery to prevent accumulation of blood and fluids in the mediastinum or the pleural cavities. Chest radiographs are obtained after removal of these drains to search for a pneumothorax. We hypothesised that clinical signs and symptoms are sensitive indicators of the presence of significant pneumothorax and rou...
