BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory intestinal disease that primarily affects premature infants and is a major cause of death in the neonatal period. Approximately half of the affected infants require surgical intervention,...
Proposed methods for prostate cancer screening are currently prohibitively expensive (due to the high costs of imaging equipment such as magnetic resonance imaging and traditional ultrasound systems), inadequate in their detection rates, require high...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning-accelerated single-shot turbo-spin-echo techniques (DL-HASTE) enable single-breath-hold T2-weighted abdominal imaging. However, studies evaluating the image quality of DL-HASTE with and without fat saturation (FS) remain lim...
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis remains a challenge, particularly in low-resource settings. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has shown promise, but most studies focus on HIV-infected populations. In the case of TB, data on lung ultrasound (LU...
To assess the image quality and radiation dose between reduced-dose CT with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) using SilverBeam filter and standard dose with iterative reconstruction (IR) in abdominopelvic CT. In total, 182 patients (mean age ± stand...
Deep learning methods have made significant progress in the field of biomedical automatic segmentation but still open to developments, especially due to the insufficient use of preprocessing methods. In this study, a pre-processing step is proposed b...

Noninvasive fetal ECG (FECG) monitoring holds significant importance in ensuring the normal development of the fetus. Since FECG is usually submerged by maternal ECG (MECG) and background noise in abdominal ECG (AECG), it is challenging to exactly re...
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive needle-based interventions are commonly used in cancer diagnosis and treatment, including procedures, such as biopsy, brachytherapy, and microwave ablation. Although MR-guided needle placement offers several distinct advan...
