This study was aimed at exploring the application of image segmentation based on full convolutional neural network (FCN) in liver computed tomography (CT) image segmentation and analyzing the clinical features of acute liver injury caused by sepsis. ...
BACKGROUND: Both early detection and severity assessment of liver trauma are critical for optimal triage and management of trauma patients. Current trauma protocols utilize computed tomography (CT) assessment of injuries in a subjective and qualitati...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of machine learning-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) liver acceleration volume acquisition (LAVA) dynamic enhanced scanning for diagnosing hilar lesions.
Our purpose was to evaluate the biocompatibility and hepatotoxicity of a new bioceramic intracanal medicament, Bio-C Temp (BIO). The biological properties of BIO were compared with calcium hydroxide-based intracanal medicament (Calen; CAL), used as g...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and investigate the performance of a deep learning model based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the automatic segmentation of polycystic livers at CT imaging.

Minimally invasive surgery has been introduced for liver transplantations. Although laparoscopic or robot-assisted living donor hepatectomy is being used, minimally invasive surgery is rarely performed in recipients during liver transplantation. A 63...
BACKGROUND: The safety and efficiency of minimally invasive approaches for liver resection have been confirmed (Wakabayashi in Ann Surg, 2015). However, laparoscopy suffers from several limitations due to technical difficulties, particularly for diff...
