Sepsis is the leading cause of death in non-coronary intensive care units. Moreover, a delay of antibiotic treatment of patients with severe sepsis by only few hours is associated with increased mortality. This insight makes accurate models for early...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the interobserver and intraobserver variability and corresponding learning curve in a semiautomatic approach for a standardized assessment of the fetal heart (fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography [FINE]).
BACKGROUND: Unlike Papanicolaou tests, there are no commercially available computer-assisted automated screening systems for urine specimens. Despite The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology, there still is poor interobserver agreement with ur...

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of most cancers is made by a board-certified pathologist based on a tissue biopsy under the microscope. Recent research reveals a high discordance between individual pathologists. For melanoma, the literature reports on 25-2...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of a deep learning based Artificial Intelligence (AI) software for detection of glaucoma from stereoscopic optic disc photographs, and to compare this performance to the performance of a large cohort of ophthal...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Capsule endoscopy has revolutionized investigation of the small bowel. However, this technique produces a video that is 8-10 hours long, so analysis is time consuming for gastroenterologists. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN...

As part of routine histological grading, for every invasive breast cancer the mitotic count is assessed by counting mitoses in the (visually selected) region with the highest proliferative activity. Because this procedure is prone to subjectivity, th...
PURPOSE: Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is a versatile and real-time imaging modality that is commonly used in image-guided prostate cancer interventions (e.g., biopsy and brachytherapy). Accurate segmentation of the prostate is key to biopsy needle p...
