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...
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...

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...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of fully convolutional neural networks (FCNNs) to segment scar tissue in the left ventricle from cardiac magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement (CMR-LGE) images.

BACKGROUND: Acne scarring remains a difficult problem for patients and physicians. Often it is treated as a two-dimensional disease with lasers and similar devices, whereas it is really a three-dimensional problem. Fillers have been used for many yea...
The face, being central and exposed, is highly susceptible to trauma and subsequent scar formation. Laser therapy is a common and effective treatment method for facial scars. However, treatment outcomes vary substantially. Consequently, we aimed to i...
Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is considered the in vivo reference standard for assessing infarct size (IS) and microvascular obstruction (MVO) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Howeve...
BACKGROUND: Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is the most common subtype of porphyria and results from a deficiency of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase. Even after successful treatment, patients can be left with significant scarring, and there i...
