OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine whether machine learning can be used to better identify patients at risk for death or congestive heart failure (CHF) rehospitalization after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of hospital admissions in the US. Readmission within 30 days after a HF hospitalization is both a recognized indicator for disease progression and a source of considerable financial burden to the health...
Background Coronary CT angiography contains prognostic information but the best method to extract these data remains unknown. Purpose To use machine learning to develop a model of vessel features to discriminate between patients with and without subs...
PURPOSE: Colorectal tumor segmentation is an important step in the analysis and diagnosis of colorectal cancer. This task is a time consuming one since it is often performed manually by radiologists. This paper presents an automatic postprocessing mo...
Deep learning has shown remarkable improvements in the analysis of medical images without the need for engineered features. In this work, we hypothesize that deep learning is complementary to traditional feature estimation. We propose a network desig...
PURPOSE: To develop and validate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model based on texture analysis of high-resolution T2 weighted MR images able 1) to predict pathologic Complete Response (CR) and 2) to identify non-responders (NR) among patients with ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM) for early colorectal cancer (CRC) is critical for determining treatment strategies after endoscopic resection. Some histologic parameters for predicting LNM have been established, b...
BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is standard staging procedure for nodal status in breast cancer, but lacks therapeutic benefit for patients with benign sentinel nodes. For patients with positive sentinel nodes, individualized surgical s...

As part of routine histological grading, for every invasive breast cancer the mitotic count is assessed by counting mitoses in the (visually selected) region with the highest proliferative activity. Because this procedure is prone to subjectivity, th...
