Comparison of the suitability of CBCT- and MR-based synthetic CTs for daily adaptive proton therapy in head and neck patients.

Physics in medicine and biology
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)- and magnetic resonance (MR)-images allow a daily observation of patient anatomy but are not directly suited for accurate proton dose calculations. This can be overcome by creating synthetic CTs (sCT) using deep c...

Clinically applicable approach for predicting mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19.

British journal of anaesthesia
BACKGROUND: Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring mechanical ventilation have high mortality and resource utilisation. The ability to predict which patients may require mechanical ventilation allows increased acuity of care and ...

Continuous and automatic mortality risk prediction using vital signs in the intensive care unit: a hybrid neural network approach.

Scientific reports
Mortality risk prediction can greatly improve the utilization of resources in intensive care units (ICUs). Existing schemes in ICUs today require laborious manual input of many complex parameters. In this work, we present a scheme that uses variation...

Simultaneous Diagnosis of Severity and Features of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fundus Photography Using Deep Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Deep learning methods for diabetic retinopathy (DR) diagnosis are usually criticized as being lack of interpretability in the diagnostic result, thus limiting their application in clinic. Simultaneous prediction of DR related features during the DR s...

Visual Field Estimation by Probabilistic Classification.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The gold standard clinical tool for evaluating visual dysfunction in cases of glaucoma and other disorders of vision remains the visual field or threshold perimetry exam. Administration of this exam has evolved over the years into a sophisticated, st...

ELEMENT: Multi-Modal Retinal Vessel Segmentation Based on a Coupled Region Growing and Machine Learning Approach.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Vascular structures in the retina contain important information for the detection and analysis of ocular diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Commonly used modalities in diagnosis of these diseases ...

Dehaze of Cataractous Retinal Images Using an Unpaired Generative Adversarial Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Cataracts are the leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. Examination of the retina through cataracts using a fundus camera is challenging and error-prone due to degraded image quality. We sought to develop an algorithm to dehaze such images to...

Ensemble machine learning for the prediction of patient-level outcomes following thyroidectomy.

American journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of thyroidectomy complications is necessary to inform treatment decisions. Ensemble machine learning provides one approach to improve prediction.

The LEukemia Artificial Intelligence Program (LEAP) in chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase: A model to improve patient outcomes.

American journal of hematology
Extreme gradient boosting methods outperform conventional machine-learning models. Here, we have developed the LEukemia Artificial intelligence Program (LEAP) with the extreme gradient boosting decision tree method for the optimal treatment recommend...
