PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to collect knee laxity data using a robotic testing device. The data collected were then compared to the results obtained from manual clinical examination.
Early and accurate diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains challenging. Neuropathological studies using brain bank specimens have estimated that a large percentages of clinical diagnoses of PD may be incorrect especially in the early stages. In...
To carry out a pulse diagnosis, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) physician presses the patient's wrist artery at three incremental depths, namely Fu (superficial), Zhong (medium), and Chen (deep). However, the definitions of the three depths are ...
The advent of digital health and artificial intelligence (AI) has promised to revolutionize clinical care, but real-world patient evaluation has yet to witness transformative changes. As history taking and physical examination continue to rely on lon...
Health and risk of disease are determined by exposure to the physical, socio-economic, and political environment and to this has been added exposure to the digital environment. Our increasingly digital lives have major implications for people's healt...
Background Deep learning (DL)-based MRI reconstructions can reduce imaging times for turbo spin-echo (TSE) examinations. However, studies that prospectively use DL-based reconstructions of rapidly acquired, undersampled MRI in the shoulder are lackin...
