• Abstract: The ratio of airway tree lumen to lung size (ALR), assessed at full inspiration on high resolution full-lung computed tomography (CT), is a major risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There is growing interest to infer ALR from cardiac CT images, which are widely available in epidemiological cohorts, to investigate the relationship of ALR to severe COVID-19 and post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). Previously, cardiac scans included approximately 2/3 of the total lung volume with 5-6x greater slice thickness than high-resolution (HR) full-lung (FL) CT. In this study, we present a novel attention-based Multi-view Swin Transformer to infer FL ALR values from segmented cardiac CT scans. For the supervised training we exploit paired full-lung and cardiac CTs acquired in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Our network significantly outperforms a proxy direct ALR inference on segmented cardiac CT scans and achieves accuracy and reproducibility comparable with a scan-rescan reproducibility of the FL ALR ground-truth.

• Beyond the Lungs: Extending the Field of View in Chest CT with Latent Diffusion Models [15.573780808103985]
  Intermediary between the human lungs and other organs, such as the liver and kidneys, is crucial for understanding the underlying risks and effects of lung diseases. Most research chest CT imaging is focused solely on the lungs due to considerations of cost and radiation dose. This restricted field of view poses challenges to comprehensive analysis and hinders the ability to gain insights into the impact of lung diseases on other organs.

  We propose a hierarchical approach to reduce the computational cost of pulmonary disease screening. First, we propose a Computed Tomography Volume Compression (CTVC) method to select a small slice that comprehensively represents the whole CT volume. Second, the selected CT slices are used to detect pulmonary diseases subset via a lightweight classification model. Third, an uncertainty measurement strategy is applied to identify samples with low diagnostic confidence, which are re-detected by radiologists.

  Supervised deep learning methods have shown the ability to remove noise in images but require accurate ground truth. We propose a novel self-supervised framework for LDCT, in which ground truth is not required for training the convolutional neural network (CNN) Numerical and experimental results show that the reconstruction accuracy of N2I with sparse views is degrading while the proposed rotational augmented Noise2Inverse (RAN2I) method keeps better image quality over a different range of sampling angles.
