PURPOSE: Vestibular schwannomas (VSs) represent the most common cerebellopontine angle tumors, posing a challenge in preserving facial nerve (FN) function during surgery. We employed the Extreme Gradient Boosting machine learning classifier to predic...
BACKGROUND: Studies of cardiovascular disease risk prediction by machine learning algorithms often do not assess their ability to generalize to other populations and few of them include an analysis of the interpretability of individual predictions. T...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Carotid B-mode ultrasound (CBUS) imaging is often used to detect and assess atherosclerotic plaques. Doctors often need to segment plaques in the CBUS images to further examine them. Multiple studies have proposed two-dimens...
Chest X-rays (CXRs) are crucial for diagnosing and managing lung conditions. While CXR is a common and cost-effective diagnostic tool, interpreting the high volume of CXRs is challenging due to workforce limitations. Artificial intelligence (AI) offe...
