Background Patients who undergo surgery for cervical radiculopathy are at risk for developing adjacent segment disease (ASD). Identifying patients who will develop ASD remains challenging for clinicians. Purpose To develop and validate a deep learnin...
Despite progressive improvements over the decades, the rich temporally resolved data in an echocardiogram remain underutilized. Human assessments reduce the complex patterns of cardiac wall motion, to a small list of measurements of heart function. A...
BACKGROUND: The consistency of meningioma is a factor that may influence surgical planning and the extent of resection. The aim of our study is to develop a predictive model of tumor consistency using the radiomic features of preoperative magnetic re...
OBJECTIVE: Mortality following surgical resection of spinal tumors is a devastating outcome. Naïve Bayes machine learning algorithms may be leveraged in surgical planning to predict mortality. In this investigation, we use a Naïve Bayes classificatio...
Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain parenchymal tumor yet remains challenging to treat. The current standard of care-resection and chemoradiation-is limited in part due to the genetic heterogeneity of glioblastoma. Previous studies have i...
OBJECTIVES: To present a comprehensive report regarding our experience with single-port robotic surgery in our first 100 consecutive patients. We describe the diversity of procedures that can be performed with this platform as well as the challenges ...
PURPOSE: The type of pituitary adenoma (PA) cannot be clearly recognized with preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but can be classified with immunohistochemical staining after surgery. In this study, a model to precisely immunohistochemical...

OBJECTIVES: In Japan, endoscopic resection (ER) is often used to treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) when invasion depths are diagnosed as EP-SM1, whereas ESCC cases deeper than SM2 are treated by surgical operation or chemoradiotherapy. ...
The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) is the most commonly used free flap in mastectomy reconstruction. Preoperative imaging techniques are routinely used to detect location, diameter and course of perforators, with direct intervention from ...
