Pars plana vitrectomy is a challenging, minimally invasive microsurgical procedure due to its intrinsic manoeuvres and physiological limits that constrain human capability. An important human limitation is physiological hand tremor, which can signifi...
INTRODUCTION: Convolutional neural networks have begun to surpass classical statistical- and atlas based machine learning techniques in medical image segmentation in recent years, proving to be superior in performance and speed. However, a major chal...
PURPOSE: Previous approaches using deep learning (DL) algorithms to classify glaucomatous damage on fundus photographs have been limited by the requirement for human labeling of a reference training set. We propose a new approach using quantitative s...

OBJECTIVES: To develop a health economic model that included a great diversity of patient characteristics and outcomes for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which can be used to inform decisions about stratified medicine in COPD.
Abnormality of the cardiac conduction system can induce arrhythmia - abnormal heart rhythm - that can frequently lead to other cardiac diseases and complications, and are sometimes life-threatening. These conduction system perturbations can manifest ...
The analysis of glandular morphology within colon histopathology images is an important step in determining the grade of colon cancer. Despite the importance of this task, manual segmentation is laborious, time-consuming and can suffer from subjectiv...
Ultrasonography images of breast mass aid in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Manually analyzing ultrasonography images is time-consuming, exhausting and subjective. Automated analyzing such images is desired. In this study, we develop a...
Soft-robotic devices such as polymeric microgrippers offer the possibility for pick and place of fragile biological cargo in hard-to-reach conduits with potential applications in drug delivery, minimally invasive surgery, and biomedical engineering. ...
We present DeepNovo-DIA, a de novo peptide-sequencing method for data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry data. We use neural networks to capture precursor and fragment ions across m/z, retention-time, and intensity dimensions. They are t...
