Machine Learning Models for Prediction of Reinjury After Penetrating Trauma.

This study compares several machine learning models for prediction of reinjury after penetrating trauma.

Automatic Calcium Scoring in Low-Dose Chest CT Using Deep Neural Networks With Dilated Convolutions.

Heavy smokers undergoing screening with low-dose chest CT are affected by cardiovascular disease as much as by lung cancer. Low-dose chest CT scans acquired in screening enable quantification of atherosclerotic calcifications and thus enable identification of subjects at increased cardiovascular risk. This paper presents a method for automatic detection of coronary artery, thoracic aorta, and card...

Origins of Robotic Surgery: From Skepticism to Standard of Care.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The uses of robotics in surgery were hypothesized as far back as 1967, but it took nearly 30 years and the nation's largest...
