Feasibility study of range verification based on proton-induced acoustic signals and recurrent neural network.

Physics in medicine and biology
Range verification in proton therapy is a critical quality assurance task. We studied the feasibility of online range verification based on proton-induced acoustic signals, using a bidirectional long-short-term-memory recurrent neural network and var...

Convolutional neural network based proton stopping-power-ratio estimation with dual-energy CT: a feasibility study.

Physics in medicine and biology
Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has shown a great potential for lowering range uncertainties, which is necessary for truly leveraging the Bragg peak in proton therapy. However, analytical stopping-power-ratio (SPR) estimation methods have limi...

Combining wearable sensor signals, machine learning and biomechanics to estimate tibial bone force and damage during running.

Human movement science
There are tremendous opportunities to advance science, clinical care, sports performance, and societal health if we are able to develop tools for monitoring musculoskeletal loading (e.g., forces on bones or muscles) outside the lab. While wearable se...

The Use of Artificial Neural Network to Predict Surgical Outcomes After Inguinal Hernia Repair.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. We developed and validated an artificial neural network (ANN) model for the prediction of surgical outcomes and the analysis of risk factors for inguinal he...

Central Reading of Ulcerative Colitis Clinical Trial Videos Using Neural Networks.

Gastroenterology
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic disease activity scoring in ulcerative colitis (UC) is useful in clinical practice but done infrequently. It is required in clinical trials, where it is expensive and slow because human central readers are needed. A ma...

Artificial intelligence-based detection of lymph node metastases by PET/CT predicts prostate cancer-specific survival.

Clinical physiology and functional imaging
INTRODUCTION: Lymph node metastases are a key prognostic factor in prostate cancer (PCa), but detecting lymph node lesions from PET/CT images is a subjective process resulting in inter-reader variability. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods ca...

Feasibility, safety and efficacy of argon beam coagulation in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for solid renal masses ≤ 7 cm in size.

Journal of robotic surgery
One of the most important steps of the partial nephrectomy (PN) is hemostatic control of tumor bed which also effects the warm ischemia time (WIT). Argon beam coagulation (ABC) for decades is a well-known method for surface controls during major open...

Early Feasibility of Automated Artificial Intelligence Angiography Based Fractional Flow Reserve Estimation.

The American journal of cardiology
Despite the evidence of improved patients' outcome, fractional flow reserve (FFR) is underused in current everyday practice. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a novel automated artificial intelligence angiography-based FFR software (AutocathFFR...

Myoelectric digit action decoding with multi-output, multi-class classification: an offline analysis.

Scientific reports
The ultimate goal of machine learning-based myoelectric control is simultaneous and independent control of multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs), including wrist and digit artificial joints. For prosthetic finger control, regression-based methods are ty...

Activity-based training with the Myosuit: a safety and feasibility study across diverse gait disorders.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Physical activity is a recommended part of treatment for numerous neurological and neuromuscular disorders. Yet, many individuals with limited mobility are not able to meet the recommended activity levels. Lightweight, wearable robots lik...
