Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) estimates the underlying tissue magnetic susceptibility from MRI gradient-echo phase signal and typically requires several processing steps. These steps involve phase unwrapping, brain volume extraction, back...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation is frequently asymptomatic and thus underdetected but is associated with stroke, heart failure, and death. Existing screening methods require prolonged monitoring and are limited by cost and low yield. We aimed to deve...

Neuroimaging and genetic biomarkers have been widely studied from discriminative perspectives towards Alzheimer's disease (AD) classification, since neuroanatomical patterns and genetic variants are jointly critical indicators for AD diagnosis. Gener...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to explore the feasibility of using telepresence robots to encourage interactive communication in dementia care, from the perspective of family carers.
White matter hyperintensities (WMH) or white matter lesions exhibit high variability in their characteristics both at population- and subject-level, making their detection a challenging task. Population-level factors such as age, vascular risk factor...
Blepharospasm (BSP) is an adult-onset focal dystonia with phenomenologically heterogeneous effects, including, but not limited to, blinks, brief or prolonged spasms, and a narrowing or closure of the eyelids. In spite of the clear and well-known symp...
Previous work supports an age-specific impairment for recognition memory of pairs of words and other stimuli. The present study tested the generalization of an associative deficit across word, name, and nonword stimulus types in younger and older adu...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of deep learning to differentiate pancreatic diseases on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) images with the aid of generative adversarial network (GAN).
This study aims to present the stages related to the use of machine learning algorithms for predictive analyses in health. An application was performed in a database of elderly residents in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, who participated in the Healt...
