PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capabilities of photon-counting (PC) CT combined with artificial intelligence-derived coronary computed tomography angiography (PC-CCTA) stenosis quantification and fractional flow reserve predic...
BACKGROUND: Anterior knee pain (AKP) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with patellar preservation is a common complication that significantly affects patients' quality of life. This study aimed to develop a machine-learning model to predict the...
OBJECTIVES: Total-body PET/CT scanners with long axial fields of view have enabled unprecedented image quality and quantitative accuracy. However, the ionizing radiation from CT is a major issue in PET imaging, which is more evident with reduced radi...
BACKGROUND: Rapid evaluation for pneumothorax is a common clinical priority. Although lung ultrasound (LUS) often is used to assess for pneumothorax, its diagnostic accuracy varies based on patient and provider factors. To enhance the performance of ...
BACKGROUND/AIM: Efficient discharge for stroke patients is crucial but challenging. The study aimed to develop early predictive models to explore which patient characteristics and variables significantly influence the discharge planning of patients, ...
BACKGROUND: To develop machine learning (ML) models predicting unplanned readmission and reoperation among patients undergoing free flap reconstruction for head and neck (HN) surgery.
AIM: To evaluate arterial enhancement, its depiction, and image quality in low-tube potential whole-body computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) with extremely low iodine dose and compare the results with those obtained by hybrid-iterative reconst...
