The precise segmentation and three-dimensional reconstruction of the nasopharyngeal airway are crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of adenoid hypertrophy in children. However, traditional methods face challenges such as information loss and low c...
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) could aid the diagnosis of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) owing to its affordability and high-throughput capacity. MALDI-TOF MS has been proposed for use...
BACKGROUND: In this study, we propose the deep learning model-based framework to automatically delineate nasopharynx gross tumor volume (GTVnx) in MRI images.
A rapid and cost-effective method to detect the infection of SARS-CoV-2 is fundamental to mitigating the current COVID-19 pandemic. Herein, a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor with a deep learning algorithm has been developed for the ...
This paper presents a deep learning-driven portable, accurate, low-cost, and easy-to-use device to perform Reverse-Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) to facilitate rapid detection of COVID-19. The 3D-printed device-powered...
