Artificial intelligence, especially the deep learning paradigm, has posed a considerable impact on cancer imaging and interpretation. For instance, fusing transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and magnetic resonance (MR) images to guide prostate cancer biops...
To compare short- and midterm outcomes of the first 55 patients undergoing robot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) with patients undergoing open kidney transplant (OKT) during the same period in a tertiary care hospital. Data of all end-stage renal...
The cumulative sum (CUSUM) approach has been adopted to evaluate surgical competence in various contexts. The CUSUM method comprises sequential monitoring of cumulative differences from a target level in performance quality over time, allowing the d...
The coexistence of robots and humans in shared physical and social spaces is expected to increase. A key enabler of high-quality interaction is a mutual understanding of each other's actions and intentions. In this paper, we motivate and present a sy...
Rehabilitation requires repetitive and coordinated movements for effective treatment, which are contingent on patient compliance and motivation. However, the monotony, intensity, and expense of most therapy routines do not promote engagement. Gesture...
Key variables recorded as text in colonoscopy and pathology reports have been extracted using natural language processing (NLP) tools that were not easily adaptable to new settings. We aimed to develop a reliable NLP tool with broad adaptability. Dur...
Chordoma is a devastating rare cancer that affects one in a million people. With a mean-survival of just 6 years and no approved medicines, the primary treatments are surgery and radiation. In order to speed new medicines to chordoma patients, a drug...
Lung cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. As early detection can improve outcome, regular screening is of great interest, especially for certain risk groups. Besides low-dose computed tomography, chest X-ray is a potential option for screening...
Artificial intelligence has recently made a disruptive impact in medical imaging by successfully automatizing expert-level diagnostic tasks. However, replicating human-made decisions may inherently be biased by the fallible and dogmatic nature of hum...
