INTRODUCTION: A 12-year long, prospective, single center study was conducted, comparing two frameless systems for brain biopsies: ROSA robotic-assisted stereotaxy and BrainLab Varioguide image-guided stereotaxy (Image Guided Surgery, IGS).
Detecting the presence of prostate cancer (PCa) and distinguishing low- or intermediate-risk disease from high-risk disease early, and without the need for potentially unnecessary invasive biopsies remains a significant clinical challenge. The aim of...
Female accounts for approximately 50% of the total population worldwide and many of them had breast cancer. Computer-aided diagnosis frameworks could reduce the number of needless biopsies and the workload of radiologists. This research aims to detec...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) is an important medical evaluation tool for renal pathology. In the DIF images, the deposition appearances and locations of immunoglobulin on glomeruli involve immunological characteristics o...
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the impact of the duration between the biopsy and surgery on the biochemical recurrence (BCR) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Background Standardized manual region of interest (ROI) sampling strategies for hepatic MRI steatosis and iron quantification are time consuming, with variable results. Purpose To evaluate the performance of automatic MRI whole-liver segmentation (WL...
Although transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the most widely used treatment for intermediate-stage, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it is only effective in a subset of patients. In this study, we combine clinical, radiological, and...
