Breast lesion detection employing state of the art microwave systems provide a safe, non-ionizing technique that can differentiate healthy and non-healthy tissues by exploiting their dielectric properties. In this paper, a microwave apparatus for bre...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning classification approach to distinguish cancerous from noncancerous regions within optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of breast tissue for potential use in an intraoperative s...
From cancer diagnosis to detailed characterization of arterial wall biomechanics, the elastic property of tissues is widely studied as an early sign of disease onset. The fibrous structural features of tissues are a direct measure of its health and f...

Machine-learning techniques have led to remarkable advances in data extraction and analysis of medical imaging. Applications of machine learning to breast MRI continue to expand rapidly as increasingly accurate 3D breast and lesion segmentation allow...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was twofold: (a) To provide a robust and accurate method for image segmentation of dedicated breast CT (bCT) volume data sets, and (b) to improve Hounsfield unit (HU) accuracy in bCT by means of a postprocessing meth...
Background Computational models on the basis of deep neural networks are increasingly used to analyze health care data. However, the efficacy of traditional computational models in radiology is a matter of debate. Purpose To evaluate the accuracy and...
PURPOSE: This study investigated the effects of obesity on breast size, thoracic spine structure and function, upper torso musculoskeletal pain and physical activity participation in women living independently in the community.
BACKGROUND: There is ongoing debate about whether or not robot-assisted thyroidectomy is appropriate for modified radical neck dissection (MRND). The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robot-assisted MRND with those of a co...
