Providing prognostic information at the time of cancer diagnosis has important implications for treatment and monitoring. Although cancer staging, histopathological assessment, molecular features, and clinical variables can provide useful prognostic ...
Since December 2019 the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has been identified as the cause of the pandemic COVID-19. Early symptoms overlap with other common conditions such as common cold and Influenza, making early screening and diagnosis are crucial go...
In the past decade, a new approach for quantitative analysis of medical images and prognostic modelling has emerged. Defined as the extraction and analysis of a large number of quantitative parameters from medical images, radiomics is an evolving fie...
INTRODUCTION: We previously developed a convolutional neural networks (CNN)-based algorithm to distinguish atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) from ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) using a mammographic dataset. The purpose of this study is to further va...
Starting renal replacement therapy (RRT) for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at an optimal time, either with hemodialysis or kidney transplantation, is crucial for patient's well-being and for successful management of the condition. In thi...

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is clinically significant regarding optimal treatment selection and avoidance of unnecessary surgical procedures. Cytopathology plays an important role in early screening of PM. We aimed to de...
PURPOSE: While neural networks gain popularity in medical research, attempts to make the decisions of a model explainable are often only made towards the end of the development process once a high predictive accuracy has been achieved.
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are crucial for public health and patient safety, which has aroused widespread concern in academia and industry. The existing computational DDI prediction methods are mainly divided into four categories: literature extra...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems for computer-aided diagnosis and image-based screening are being adopted worldwide by medical institutions. In such a context, generating fair and unbiased classifiers becomes of paramount importance. The research...
In this paper we propose a way of using depth maps transformed into 3D point clouds to classify human activities. The activities are described as time sequences of feature vectors based on the Viewpoint Feature Histogram descriptor (VFH) computed usi...
