Despite technological advances, two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) of biological fluids, such as vitreous, remains a major challenge. In this study, artificial neural network was applied to optimize the recovery of vitreous proteins and its detect...
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a highly heterogeneous disease of malignant plasma cells. Diagnosis and monitoring of MM patients is based on bone marrow biopsies and detection of abnormal immunoglobulin in serum and/or urine. However, biopsies have a singl...
BACKGROUND: We designed a deep learning model for assessing F-FDG PET/CT for early prediction of local and distant failures for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

The recovery of the orthostatism after a severe acquired brain injury (sABI) is an essential objective to pursue in order to avoid the occurrence of secondary complications resulting from prolonged immobilization to which the patient is subjected dur...
The question of whether ultrasound point shear wave elastography can differentiate renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from angiomyolipoma (AML) is controversial. This study prospectively enrolled 51 patients with 52 renal tumors (42 RCCs, 10 AMLs). We obtain...
BACKGROUND: Hippocampus is one of the first structures affected by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Hippocampal atrophy can be evaluated in terms of hippocampal volumes and shapes using ...
Numerous brain disorders are associated with ventriculomegaly, including both neuro-degenerative diseases and cerebrospinal fluid disorders. Detailed evaluation of the ventricular system is important for these conditions to help understand the pathog...
PURPOSE: Recent advances in machine learning have enabled better understanding of large and complex visual data. Here, we aim to investigate patient outcome prediction with a machine learning method using only an image of tumour sample as an input.
Background Risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules are often complicated and affected by low specificity. Continual improvement of these systems is necessary to reduce the number of unnecessary thyroid biopsies. Purpose To use artificial inte...
