Application of artificial intelligence centric workflows for evaluation of neuroradiology emergencies.

The goal of this study was to perform a pilot study to assess user-interface of radiologists with an artificial-intelligence (AI) centric workflow for detection of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and cervical spine fractures (CSFX). Over 12-month period, interaction and usage of AI software implemented in our institution, Aidoc, on head and cervical spine CT scans were obtained. Several interaction ...

Learning Curve of Robot-Assisted Lymph Node Dissection of the Left Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: A Retrospective Study of 417 Patients.

OBJECTIVE: Left recurrent laryngeal nerve (no.106recL) lymph node dissection is a challenging procedure, and robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) may have some advantages. This study aimed to determine the learning curve of no.106recL lymph node dissection.

Rethinking causality-driven robot tool segmentation with temporal constraints.

PURPOSE: Vision-based robot tool segmentation plays a fundamental role in surgical robots perception and downstream tasks. CaRTS, based on a complemen...

No prostate? No problem: robotic inguinal hernia repair after prostatectomy.
