Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a major complication of diabetic retinopathy characterized by fluid accumulation in the macula, leading to vision impairment. The standard treatment involves anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) therapy, but ...
Treatment decisions for an incidental renal mass are mostly made with pathologic uncertainty. Improving the diagnosis of benign renal masses and distinguishing aggressive cancers from indolent ones is key to better treatment selection. We analyze 132...

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a non-destructive, non-ionizing, and rapidly expanding hybrid biomedical imaging technique, yet it faces challenges in obtaining clear images due to limited data from detectors or angles. As a result, the methodology...
This paper presents a novel dual-branch framework for estimating blood pressure (BP) using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. The method combines deep learning with clinical prior knowledge and models different time periods (morning, afternoon, and ...
Perceptual recognition of tourist destinations is vital in representing the destination image, supporting destination management decision-making, and promoting tourism recommendations. However, previous studies on tourist destination perception have ...

BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and preclinical MCI (e.g., subjective cognitive decline, SCD) are considered risk states of dementia, such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, it is challenging to accurately predict conversion from norma...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is pivotal in radiology, offering non-invasive and high-quality insights into the human body. Precise segmentation of the MRIs into different organs and tissues would be very beneficial as it would allow more accurate...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading global cause of death, which requires the early and accurate detection of cardiac abnormalities. Abnormal heart sounds, indicative of potential cardiac problems, pose a challenge due to their low-frequen...
