BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis has become an important public health issue. Most of the population, particularly elderly people, are at some degree of risk of osteoporosis-related fractures. Accurate identification and surveillance of patient populations w...
Dedicated brain positron emission tomography (PET) devices can provide higher-resolution images with much lower doses compared to conventional whole-body PET systems, which is important to support PET neuroimaging and particularly useful for the diag...

Early detection of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is crucial to prevent stroke recurrence. New tools for monitoring cardiac rhythm are important for risk stratification and stroke prevention. As many of new approaches to long-term AFib detection are now ...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive thymectomy (MIT) has demonstrated improved short-term outcomes compared with open thymectomy (OT). Although adoption of MIT for thymoma is increasing, oncologic outcomes have not been well characterized.
Background and purpose - Artificial intelligence has rapidly become a powerful method in image analysis with the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We assessed the ability of a CNN, with a fast object detection algorithm previously identify...
BACKGROUND: In a clinical setting, an individual subject classification model rather than a group analysis would be more informative. Specifically, the subtlety of cortical atrophy in some frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients and overlapping patter...
PURPOSE: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with a poor prognosis and a substantial reduction in quality of life. The rate of misdiagnosis of FTD is very high, with patients often waiting for years without a firm...

PURPOSE: An excessive amount of total hospitalization is caused by delays due to patients waiting to be placed in a rehabilitation facility or skilled nursing facility (RF/SNF). An accurate preoperative prediction of who would need a RF/SNF place aft...
OBJECTIVE: To identify the feasibility of using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for the detection and localization of hip fractures on plain frontal pelvic radiographs (PXRs). Hip fracture is a leading worldwide health problem for the elde...
BACKGROUND: In the appropriate clinical setting, the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) requires a pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia to be present on high-resolution chest CT (HRCT) or surgical lung biopsy. A molecular usual inter...
