INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, most rectal tumours are treated open or minimally invasive, using laparoscopic, robot-assisted or transanal total mesorectal excision. However, insight into the total costs of these techniques is limited. Since all three techn...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a real-world screening, guideline-based deep learning (DL) system for referable diabetic retinopathy (DR) detection.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the reproducibility and replicability of studies that develop and validate segmentation methods for brain tumours on MRI and that follow established reproducibility criteria; and to evaluate whether the reporting guidelines a...
INTRODUCTION: Smoking and insufficient physical activity (PA), independently but especially in conjunction, often lead to disease and (premature) death. For this reason, there is need for effective smoking cessation and PA-increasing interventions. I...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery is a method of minimally invasive surgery performed through small incisions using a remote robotic console. Surgical residents and attendings participate in simulation training to be able to effectively perform robotic s...
OBJECTIVES: Complications due to peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) can be assessed using ultrasound imaging; however, it is not routinely conducted due to the need for training in image reading techniques. This study aimed to develop and valida...
