TL;DR: In the setting of a challenge competition, some deep learning algorithms achieved better diagnostic performance than a panel of 11 pathologists participating in a simulation exercise designed to mimic routine pathology workflow; algorithm performance was comparable with an expert pathologist interpreting whole-slide images without time constraints.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel hybrid densely connected UNet (H-DenseUNet), which consists of a 2-D Dense UNet for efficiently extracting intra-slice features and a 3-D counterpart for hierarchically aggregating volumetric contexts under the spirit of the auto-context algorithm for liver and tumor segmentation.

TL;DR: This study corroborates that very deep CNNs with effective training mechanisms can be employed to solve complicated medical image analysis tasks, even with limited training data.

TL;DR: The LUNA16 challenge is described, an objective evaluation framework for automatic nodule detection algorithms using the largest publicly available reference database of chest CT scans, the LIDC‐IDRI data set, and the results so far are presented.

TL;DR: An auto‐context version of the VoxResNet is proposed by combining the low‐level image appearance features, implicit shape information, and high‐level context together for further improving the segmentation performance, and achieved the best performance in the 2013 MICCAI MRBrainS challenge.
