BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease occurring mostly in women of childbearing age. Pregnant women with MS are usually excluded from clinical trials; as users of the internet, however, they are actively engaged in thr...
OBJECTIVES: The conceptus dose during diagnostic imaging procedures for pregnant patients raises health concerns owing to the high radiosensitivity of the developing embryo/fetus. The aim of this work is to develop a methodology for automated constru...

PURPOSE: To construct and validate an efficient artificial neural network (ANN) based on parameters with statistical correlation to live birth, to be used as a comprehensive tool for the prediction of the clinical outcome for patients undergoing ART.
The relationship between people and work has a direct impact on quality of life and health. The objective of this article is to compare perceived levels of Quality of Working Life (QWL) across three different groups of professionals. Cross-sectional ...
MR images of fetuses allow clinicians to detect brain abnormalities in an early stage of development. The cornerstone of volumetric and morphologic analysis in fetal MRI is segmentation of the fetal brain into different tissue classes. Manual segment...
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether a machine learning (ML) analysis employing MRI-derived texture analysis (TA) features could be useful in assessing the presence of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in patients with placenta previa (PP). The hypothesis is t...

Propensity score matching (PSM) and propensity score weighting (PSW) are popular tools to estimate causal effects in observational studies. We address two open issues: how to estimate propensity scores and assess covariate balance. Using simulations,...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the degree of inter-rater reliability (IRR) between human and artificial intelligence (AI) interpretation of fetal heart rate tracings (FHR), and to determine whether AI-assisted electronic fetal monitoring interpretation imp...
BACKGROUND: Little research based on the artificial neural network (ANN) is done on preterm birth (spontaneous preterm labor and birth) and its major determinants. This study uses an ANN for analyzing preterm birth and its major determinants.
Detecting acoustic shadows in ultrasound images is important in many clinical and engineering applications. Real-time feedback of acoustic shadows can guide sonographers to a standardized diagnostic viewing plane with minimal artifacts and can provid...
