A unified software framework for deriving, visualizing, and exploring abstraction networks for ontologies.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Software tools play a critical role in the development and maintenance of biomedical ontologies. One important task that is difficult without software tools is ontology quality assurance. In previous work, we have introduced different kinds of abstra...

High resolution ion chamber array delivery quality assurance for robotic radiosurgery: Commissioning and validation.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: High precision radiosurgery demands comprehensive delivery-quality-assurance techniques. The use of a liquid-filled ion-chamber-array for robotic-radiosurgery delivery-quality-assurance was investigated and validated using several test scena...

Scotland's knowledge network: a progress report on Knowledge into Action.

Scottish medical journal
Launched in 2012, Knowledge into Action is the national knowledge management strategy for the health and social care workforce in Scotland. It is transforming the role of the national digital knowledge service--NHS Education for Scotlands' Knowledge ...

Robotic radiosurgery system patient-specific QA for extracranial treatments using the planar ion chamber array and the cylindrical diode array.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Robotic radiosurgery system has been increasingly employed for extracranial treatments. This work is aimed to study the feasibility of a cylindrical diode array and a planar ion chamber array for patient-specific QA with this robotic radiosurgery sys...

Automated misspelling detection and correction in clinical free-text records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Accurate electronic health records are important for clinical care and research as well as ensuring patient safety. It is crucial for misspelled words to be corrected in order to ensure that medical records are interpreted correctly. This paper descr...

[Infection prevention check-in and infection prevention check-out to prevent nosocomial infections].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
BACKGROUND: A precondition for the success of the prevention of SSI is the complete realisation of the proven anti-infective measures in form of the multi-barrier strategy or the so-called bundles. In daily practice it is important to follow the fixe...

Uncertainty quantification-guided patient-specific quality assurance using Bayesian neural networks based on field complexity features and fluence maps.

Physics in medicine and biology
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven prediction models for measurement-based patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) necessitate uncertainty quantification (UQ) to ensure clinical safety.An uncertainty-guided framework was pro...

Automatic contour quality assurance using deep-learning based contours.

Physics in medicine and biology
Safe deployment of auto-contouring models requires the inclusion of automated quality assurance (QA). One such approach is to use two independent auto-contouring models and compare them geometrically for acceptability. This is not effective because g...

Assessment of the quality of different commercial providers using artificial intelligence for automated cephalometric analysis compared to human orthodontic experts.

Journal of orofacial orthopedics = Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie : Organ/official journal Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Kieferorthopadie
PURPOSE: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the accuracy of various skeletal and dental cephalometric parameters as produced by different commercial providers that make use of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted automated cephalometric a...

A prospectively deployed deep learning-enabled automated quality assurance tool for oncological palliative spine radiation therapy.

The Lancet. Digital health
BACKGROUND: Palliative spine radiation therapy is prone to treatment at the wrong anatomic level. We developed a fully automated deep learning-based spine-targeting quality assurance system (DL-SpiQA) for detecting treatment at the wrong anatomic lev...
