Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become the state-of-the-art method for medical segmentation. However, repeated pooling and striding operations reduce the feature resolution, causing loss of detailed information. Additionally, tumors of diff...
BACKGROUND: Based on international diagnostic guidelines, high-resolution CT plays a central part in the diagnosis of fibrotic lung disease. In the correct clinical context, when high-resolution CT appearances are those of usual interstitial pneumoni...
Behavior analysis through posture recognition is an essential research in robotic systems. Sitting with unhealthy sitting posture for a long time seriously harms human health and may even lead to lumbar disease, cervical disease and myopia. Automatic...
PURPOSE: In this study, we compared deep learning (DL) with support vector machine (SVM), both of which use three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (3D-OCT) images for detecting epiretinal membrane (ERM).
BACKGROUND: How much anal sphincter dysfunction contributes to fecal incontinence (FI) is not clear. High-definition anorectal manometry (HDAM) and functional luminal imaging probe (Endoflip) are two new techniques to study anal sphincter function.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of a machine learning method based on texture features in multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to differentiate a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) from a primary cerebral nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
Intracortical brain computer interfaces can enable individuals with paralysis to control external devices through voluntarily modulated brain activity. Decoding quality has been previously shown to degrade with signal nonstationarities-specifically, ...

BACKGROUND: Clinical notes such as discharge summaries have a semi- or unstructured format. These documents contain information about diseases, treatments, drugs, etc. Extracting meaningful information from them becomes challenging due to their narra...
