BACKGROUND: Persistent smoking after cancer diagnosis is associated with increased overall mortality (OM) and cancer mortality (CM). According to the 2020 Surgeon General's report, smoking cessation may reduce CM but supporting evidence is not wide. ...
Kidney volume is an essential biomarker for a number of kidney disease diagnoses, for example, chronic kidney disease. Existing total kidney volume estimation methods often rely on an intermediate kidney segmentation step. On the other hand, automati...
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a gradually recognized health problem with risks related to disease history and living habits. This study aims to establish the optimal prediction model by comparing the performance of four prediction models that incorpora...

Since the development of phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI), quantification of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow across the cerebral aqueduct has been utilized for diagnosis of conditions such as normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). This...
PURPOSE: Coronary artery events are mainly associated with atherosclerosis in adult population, which is recognized as accumulation of plaques in arterial wall tissues. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a light-based imaging system used in cardio...
Background The interpretation of radiographs suffers from an ever-increasing workload in emergency and radiology departments, while missed fractures represent up to 80% of diagnostic errors in the emergency department. Purpose To assess the performan...
IMPORTANCE: Anticipating the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) when initiating antithrombotic treatment (oral antiplatelets or anticoagulants) is limited by existing risk prediction models. Machine learning algorithms may result in superior pre...
Healthy aging is the prime goal of aging research and interventions. Healthy aging or not can be quantified by biological aging rates estimated by aging clocks. Generation and accumulation of large scale high-dimensional biological data together with...
This cross-sectional study aimed to build a deep learning model for detecting neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and to distinguish retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) from polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) using a convoluti...
