BACKGROUND: In this age of big data, certain models require very large data stores in order to be informative and accurate. In many cases however, the data are stored in separate locations requiring data transfer between local sites which can cause v...
This study investigated whether using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) can identify different walking conditions, including level walking (LW), descent (DC) and ascent (AC) slope walking as well as downstairs (DS) and upstairs (US) walking. Thirty ...
UNLABELLED: The effect of untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) on cerebral haemodynamics and CA impairment is an active field of research interest. A breath-hold challenge is usually used in clinical and research settings to simulate cardiovascul...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Manual contouring is labor intensive, and subject to variations in operator knowledge, experience and technique. This work aims to develop an automated computed tomography (CT) multi-organ segmentation method for prostate canc...
BACKGROUND: Current lung cancer screening guidelines use mean diameter, volume or density of the largest lung nodule in the prior computed tomography (CT) or appearance of new nodule to determine the timing of the next CT. We aimed at developing a mo...
BACKGROUND: Poor quality primary health care is a major issue in China, particularly in blindness prevention. Artificial intelligence (AI) could provide early screening and accurate auxiliary diagnosis to improve primary care services and reduce unne...
Predicting the onset of psychosis in individuals at-risk is based on robust prognostic model building methods including a priori clinical knowledge (also termed clinical-learning) to preselect predictors or machine-learning methods to select predicto...
