1. Emphysema Classification via Deep Learning
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskapAbstract : Emphysema is an incurable lung airway disease and a hallmark of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In recent decades, Computed Tomography (CT) has been used as a powerful tool for the detection and quantification of different diseases, including emphysema. The use of CT comes with a potential risk: ionizing radiation. READ MORE
