BACKGROUND: Measurement of cross-sectional muscle area (CSMA) at the mid third lumbar vertebra (L3) level from computed tomography (CT) images is becoming one of the reference methods for sarcopenia diagnosis. However, manual skeletal muscle segmenta...
PURPOSE: Urologists rely heavily on videourodynamics to identify patients with neurogenic bladders who are at risk of upper tract injury, but their interpretation has high interobserver variability. Our objective was to develop deep learning models o...
Healed coronary plaques, morphologically characterized by a layered phenotype, are signs of previous plaque destabilization and healing. Recent optical coherence tomography (OCT) studies demonstrated that layered plaque is associated with higher leve...

BACKGROUND: The examination of the optic nerve head (optic disc) is mandatory in patients with headache, hypertension, or any neurological symptoms, yet it is rarely or poorly performed in general clinics. We recently developed a brain and optic nerv...
IMPORTANCE: Earlier detection of emerging novel SARS-COV-2 variants is important for public health surveillance of potential viral threats and for earlier prevention research. Artificial intelligence may facilitate early detection of SARS-CoV2 emergi...
BACKGROUND: Robots are introduced into health care contexts to assist health care professionals. However, we do not know how the benefits and maintenance of robots influence nurse-robot engagement.

In this study, we aimed to democratize access to convolutional neural networks (CNN) for segmenting cartilage volumes, generating state-of-the-art results for specialized, real-world applications in hospitals and research. Segmentation of cross-secti...
The lamina cribrosa (LC) is a collagenous tissue located in the optic nerve head, and its dissection is observed in eyes with pathologic myopia as a LC defect (LCD). The diagnosis of LCD has been difficult because the LC is located deep beneath the r...
