PRECIS: Pegasus outperformed 5 of the 6 ophthalmologists in terms of diagnostic performance, and there was no statistically significant difference between the deep learning system and the "best case" consensus between the ophthalmologists. The agreem...
PURPOSE: In diabetic patients presenting with macular edema (ME) shortly after cataract surgery, identifying the underlying pathology can be challenging and influence management. Our aim was to develop a simple clinical classifier able to confirm a d...
The purpose of this study was to predict the survival time of patients with malignant glioma after radiotherapy with high accuracy by considering additional clinical factors and optimize the prescription dose and treatment duration for individual pat...
BACKGROUND: Because of the powerful abilities of self-learning and handling complex biological information, artificial neural network (ANN) models have been widely applied to disease diagnosis, imaging analysis, and prognosis prediction. However, the...
