BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules are extremely common and typically diagnosed with ultrasound whether benign or malignant. Imaging diagnosis assisted by Artificial Intelligence has attracted much attention in recent years. The aim of our study was to build...
OBJECTIVES: To reveal the utility of motion artifact reduction with convolutional neural network (MARC) in gadoxetate disodium-enhanced multi-arterial phase MRI of the liver.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Up to 30% of adenomas might be missed during screening colonoscopy-these could be polyps that appear on-screen but are not recognized by endoscopists or polyps that are in locations that do not appear on the screen at all. Comput...
BACKGROUND: Heartbeat interval Lorenz plot (LP) imaging is a promising method for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) in long-term monitoring, but the optimal segment window length for the LP images is unknown. We examined the performance of AF detect...
