Here we assessed changes in subcortical volumes in alcohol use disorder (AUD). A simple morphometry-based classifier (MC) was developed to identify subcortical volumes that distinguished 32 healthy controls (HCs) from 33 AUD patients, who were scanne...
BACKGROUND: Currently, only a fraction of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) experience a durable clinical benefit (DCB). According to NCCN guidelines, Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) e...

To examine a new technique of robot-assisted nephroureterectomy without robot reldocking or patient repositioning. Patients diagnosed as upper tract urothelial carcinoma treated with this modality between November 2015 and January 2019 at Departmen...
BACKGROUND: The tumour stroma microenvironment plays an important part in disease progression and its composition can influence treatment response and outcomes. Histological evaluation of tumour stroma is limited by access to tissue, spatial heteroge...
IMPORTANCE: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to analysis of medical imaging in recent years, but AI to guide the acquisition of ultrasonography images is a novel area of investigation. A novel deep-learning (DL) algorithm, trained on mor...
OBJECTIVE: The paraspinal muscles have been extensively studied on axial lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for better understanding of back pain; however, the acquisition of measurements mainly relies on manual segmentation, which is time consu...
BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) in gastric cancer is a prognostic factor and has implications for the extent of lymph node dissection. The lymphatic drainage of the stomach involves multiple nodal stations with different risks of metastases. ...
To evaluate the rib fracture detection performance in computed tomography (CT) images using a software based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and compare it with the rib fracture diagnostic performance of doctors.We included CT images fr...
