BACKGROUND: Hospital Eye Services (HES) in the UK face an increasing number of optometric referrals driven by progress in retinal imaging. The National Health Service (NHS) published a 10-year strategy (NHS Long-Term Plan) to transform services to me...
While convolutional neural network (CNN) has been demonstrating powerful ability to learn hierarchical spatial features from medical images, it is still difficult to apply it directly to resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) and the derived brain fu...
PURPOSE: To predict the need for surgical intervention in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) using systemic data in electronic health records (EHRs).
OBJECTIVE: The objective is to develop and validate a predictive model for 15-month mortality using a random sample of community-dwelling Medicare beneficiaries.
In recent studies, neuroanatomical volume and shape asymmetries have been seen during the course of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and could potentially be used as preclinical imaging biomarkers for the prediction of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and AD ...
