In cell-based research, the process of visually monitoring cells generates large image datasets that need to be evaluated for quantifiable information in order to track the effectiveness of treatments in vitro. With the traditional, end-point assay-b...
Survival data from 225 patients with resected pulmonary typical carcinoids were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier statistics (K-M) and "deep learning" methods to illustrate the difference between establishing "correlations" and "prognostications". Cases wer...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect of robot-assisted treatment of unstable pelvic fractures through a percutaneous iliac lumbar double rod fixation combined with a percutaneous pelvic anterior ring INFIX (internal fixator) fixation.

PURPOSE: Tumors often have different imaging properties, and there is no single imaging modality that can visualize all tumors. In CT-guided needle placement procedures, image fusion (e.g. with MRI, PET, or contrast CT) is often used as image guidanc...
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is underdiagnosed in the community. Thoracic CT scans are widely used for diagnostic and screening purposes for lung cancer. In this proof-of-concept study, we aimed to evaluate a software pipe...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of dose difference maps with a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect multi-leaf collimator (MLC) positional errors in patient-specific quality assurance for volumetric modulated radiation therapy (...
To present a stepwise description and outcomes of bladder neck sparing (BNS) robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP). Between March 2015 and December 2018, 30 consecutive patients with benign prostate hyperplasia underwent BNS RASP. Baseline cha...
