Abstract

BACKGROUND: Automatically detecting and quantifying pneumothorax on chest computed tomography (CT) may impact clinical decision-making. Machine learning methods published so far struggle with the heterogeneity of technical parameters and the presence of additional pathologies, highlighting the importance of stable algorithms. METHODS: A deep residual UNet was developed and evaluated for automated…
