PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the variability in preimplantation kidney biopsy processing methods, emphasizing their impact on histological interpretation and allocation decisions driven by biopsy findings. With the increasing use of artifi...
The relationship between brain connections and non-imaging phenotypes is increasingly studied using deep neural networks. However, the local and global properties of the brain's white matter networks are often overlooked in convolutional network desi...
The inherent variability of lesions poses challenges in leveraging AI in 3D automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) for lesion detection. Traditional methods based on single scans have fallen short compared to comprehensive evaluations by experienced sono...
Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is a type of plaque that poses a significant risk of high mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Ultrasound has long been used for carotid atherosclerosis screening and plaque assessment due to its safety...
INTRODUCTION: Bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) have overlapping clinical presentations which may make it difficult for clinicians to distinguish them potentially resulting in misdiagnosis. This study combined structural MRI a...
OBJECTIVES: In Multiple Sclerosis (MS) cerebral MRI is essential for disease and treatment monitoring. For this purpose, software solutions are available to support the radiologist with image interpretation and reporting of follow up imaging. Aim of ...

Global blindness is substantially influenced by age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It significantly shortens people's lives and severely impairs their visual acuity. AMD is becoming more common, requiring improved diagnostic and prognostic metho...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) models can help assisting diagnosis by rapidly localising and classifying regions of interest (ROIs) within whole slide images (WSIs). Effective ML models for clinical decision support require a substantial dataset o...
