The study aimed to develop and evaluate an algorithm based on the YOLOv8x framework to automatically detect and identify cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt valves. This approach seeks to streamline the diagnostic process identifying shunt valve types an...
The identification of factors associated with chronic shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (CSDH) following spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains challenging, despite numerous studies. Early recognition of patients at higher risk for requiring s...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of machine learning models in identifying factors associated with the need for permanent ventricular shunt placement in patients experiencing intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who require emergency cerebrospinal fluid (...
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a reversible cause of dementia, typically treated with shunt surgery, although outcomes vary. Artificial intelligence (AI) advancements could improve predictions of shunt response (SR) by...
While ventricular shunts are the main treatment for adult hydrocephalus, shunt malfunction remains a common problem that can be challenging to diagnose. Computer vision-derived algorithms present a potential solution. We designed a feasibility study ...
BACKGROUND: Over the recent decades, the number of different manufacturers and models of cerebrospinal fluid shunt valves constantly increased. Proper identification of shunt valves on X-ray images is crucial to neurosurgeons and radiologists to deri...
OBJECTIVE: Standard MRI protocols lack a quantitative sequence that can be used to evaluate shunt-treated patients with a history of hydrocephalus. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI), a quantitative ...
BACKGROUND: An Ommaya reservoir can be used to treat posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus secondary to intraventricular hemorrhage of prematurity until an acceptable weight can be obtained to place a permanent shunt. Identifying newborns at higher risk of d...
BACKGROUND: Shunt-dependent hydrocephalus significantly complicates subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and reliable prognosis methods have been sought in recent years to reduce morbidity and costs associated with delayed treatment or neglected onset. Mac...
