| Automatic Aortic Aneurysm Detection System through Deep-Learning
                
                An aortic aneurysm is a bulge that occurs in the aorta wall, which carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. In 2019, aortic aneurysms caused more than 9,000 deaths, with about 60% affecting men. Smoking accounts for the condition's leading risk factor and leads to 75% of all aortic aneurysms. Unfortunately, current diagnostic tools...

                Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a highly infectious disease that has led to a pandemic throughout the world. Since its emergence, over 117 million have become infected, with 2.6 million deaths. Although several highly effective vaccines have become FDA-approved, one of the biggest challenges is administering them to millions of people. Several software platforms...

                Deep neural networks (DNNs) help radiologists locate, characterize, and segment tumors. These software tools augment imagery in regions that are otherwise obscured by signal noise or streaks. DNNs reduce imaging session times and thereby reduce radiation exposure. On the other hand, “black box” DNNs defy clinical scrutiny, make patient consultations...
