BACKGROUND: Stroke severity is an important predictor of patient outcomes and is commonly measured with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores. Because these scores are often recorded as free text in physician reports, structur...
BACKGROUND: Diagnosing long QT syndrome (LQTS) remains challenging because of a considerable overlap in QT interval between patients with LQTS and healthy subjects. Characterizing T-wave morphology might improve LQTS diagnosis.
BACKGROUND: Deep learning has always been at the forefront of scientific research. It has also been applied to medical research. Hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is characterized by gait abnormalities and is usually evaluated semi-quantitative...
BACKGROUND: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, along with comorbid cognitive and psychosocial impairment. Current gold standards of assessment can quantify cognitive and motor performance, but may not capt...

PURPOSE: It is vital to appropriately power clinical trials towards discovery of novel disease-modifying therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD). Thus, it is critical to improve prediction of outcome in PD patients.
OBJECTIVE: We aim to characterise persistent high utilisers (PHUs) of healthcare services, and correspondingly, transient high utilisers (THUs) and non-high utilisers (non-HUs) for comparison, to facilitate stratifying HUs for targeted intervention. ...
OBJECTIVE: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) in patients with Parkinson's disease and dystonia improves motor symptoms and quality of life. Traditionally, pallidal borders have been demarcated by electr...

PURPOSE: We introduced and evaluated an end-to-end organs-at-risk (OARs) segmentation model that can provide accurate and consistent OARs segmentation results in much less time.
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to establish and validate an artificial intelligence-based radiomics strategy for predicting personalized responses of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to first transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) session by quantitatively analy...
OBJECTIVES: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) regularly undergo MRI for assessment of disease burden. However, interpretation may be time consuming and prone to intra- and interobserver variability. Here, we evaluate the potential of artificial n...
