BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: External drainage represents a well-established treatment option for acute intracerebral hemorrhage. The current standard of practice includes post-operative computer tomography imaging, which is subjectively evaluated. The im...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop an algorithm for the automatic detecting chest percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) and evaluating catheter positions on chest radiographs using deep learning.
OBJECTIVES: Prolonged air leak (PAL) is a common complication of lung resection. Research on predictors of PAL using a digital drainage system (DDS) remains insufficient. In this study, we investigated the predictive factors of PAL to establish a nov...

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of early chest tube removal after anatomic pulmonary resection, regardless of the drainage volume.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of endoscopic surgery (ES) versus robot CAS-R-2 assisted with stereotactic drainage on prognosis of basal ganglia hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).
Brain abscess is rare in clinic, the reported incidence is only 0.4 to 0.90 per 100,000 population, and most of them have a history of prodromal infection. Headache and fever are the most common clinical symptoms, and only a few are accompanied by ne...
OBJECTIVE: CT is the mainstay imaging modality for assessing change in ventricular volume in patients with ventricular shunts or external ventricular drains (EVDs). We evaluated the performance of a novel fully automated CT registration and subtracti...
