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...
Detecting cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) is important in diagnosing a variety of diseases including dementia, stroke and traumatic brain injury. However, manual detection of CMBs can be time-consuming and prone to errors, whereas the current automatic a...

Up to one-third of patients selected by current guidelines do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), the aim of this study was to find out novel analytical approaches to improve pre-implantation CRT response prediction. Among 31 pre-...
Computer-aided diagnosis has become a widely-used auxiliary tool for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we developed an extreme learning machine (ELM) model to discriminate between patients with AD and normal controls (NCs) usi...

BACKGROUND: Neuroimaging analysis is currently crucial for an early assessment of glioblastoma, to help improving treatment and tumor follow-up. To this end, multiple functional and morphological MRI sequences are usually employed, requiring the deve...
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) could provide improved detection of regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs) and differentiate among groups of coronary infarction territories from conventional ...

OBJECTIVE: The manual adjudication of disease classification is time-consuming, error-prone, and limits scaling to large datasets. In ischemic stroke (IS), subtype classification is critical for management and outcome prediction. This study sought to...
Neuropathologists assess vast brain areas to identify diverse and subtly-differentiated morphologies. Standard semi-quantitative scoring approaches, however, are coarse-grained and lack precise neuroanatomic localization. We report a proof-of-concept...
