Five years ago, robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATT) was introduced in the Netherlands. The major advantage of this technique, when compared to the conventional approach, is the prevention of a potentially disfiguring scar in the neck. I...
Late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE MRI) appears to be a promising alternative for scar assessment in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Automating the quantification and analysis of atrial scars can be challenging due to...
Background Cardiac MRI late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) scar volume is an important marker for outcome prediction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM); however, its clinical application is hindered by a lack of measurement standardizat...

Scar tissues have been important factors in determining the progression of myocardial diseases and the development of adverse cardiac failure outcomes. Accurate segmentation of the scar tissues can be helpful to the clinicians for risk prediction and...
Ischaemic heart disease is among the most frequent causes of death. Early detection of myocardial pathologies can increase the benefit of therapy and reduce the number of lethal cases. Presence of myocardial scar is an indicator for developing ischae...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a technique for the robot-assisted laparoscopic surgical management of cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy (CSP) and hysterotomy repair.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a deep learning (DL)-based reconstruction algorithm on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) image quality and to evaluate its influence on scar quantification.

BACKGROUND: Quantification of myocardium scarring in late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can be challenging due to low scar-to-background contrast and low image quality. To resolve ambiguous LGE regions, experienced read...
