BACKGROUND: Symptomatic lymphoceles present the most common complication of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND). No surgical technique has so far shown success in reducing the incidence rate,...
CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE: Cardiac diseases are the leading cause of death. Many diseases can be specifically treated once a valid diagnosis is established. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a central role in the workup of many cardiac p...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Accurately diagnosing malignant biliary strictures (MBSs) as benign or malignant remains challenging. It has been suggested that direct visualization and interpretation of cholangioscopy images provide greater accuracy for strict...
OBJECTIVE: 3D reconstruction of lumbar intervertebral foramen (LIVF) has been beneficial in evaluating surgical trajectory. Still, the current methods of reconstructing the 3D LIVF model are mainly based on manual segmentation, which is laborious and...

BACKGROUND: The demand for homogeneous and higher vascular contrast enhancement is critical to provide an appropriate interpretation of abnormal vascular findings in coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) allows for real-time intraoperative assessment of the perfusion of the gastric conduit during esophagectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the implementation of ICG-FA durin...

BACKGROUND: Automated segmentation of the placenta by MRI in early pregnancy may help predict normal and aberrant placenta function, which could improve the efficiency of placental assessment and the prediction of pregnancy outcomes. An automated seg...
PURPOSE: To present a deep learning algorithm for segmentation of geographic atrophy (GA) using en face swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) images that is accurate and reproducible for the assessment of GA growth over time.
INTRODUCTION: The transition from laparoscopic to robot-assisted procedures leads to potential increase in operative times and health care costs. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis can objectively study the learning curve to detect significant changes i...
