A mathematical framework for virtual IMRT QA using machine learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: It is common practice to perform patient-specific pretreatment verifications to the clinical delivery of IMRT. This process can be time-consuming and not altogether instructive due to the myriad sources that may produce a failing result. The...

Assessment of quality outcomes for robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy: identification of the learning curve.

JAMA surgery
IMPORTANCE: Quality assessment is an important instrument to ensure optimal surgical outcomes, particularly during the adoption of new surgical technology. The use of the robotic platform for complex pancreatic resections, such as the pancreaticoduod...

Utility of Arden Syntax for Representation of Fuzzy Logic in Clinical Quality Measures.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: Prior work has established that fuzzy logic is prevalent in clinical practice guidelines and that Arden Syntax is suitable for representing clinical quality measures (CQMs). Approved since then, Arden Syntax v2.9 (2012) has formal constru...

Assessment of an expert system for the automated validation of electrophoretic profiles.

Clinical laboratory
BACKGROUND: The Core-lab of the Greater Romagna Area Hub Laboratory carries out about 250,000 capillary electrophoresis assays/year. The huge workload demands the assessing of an Experimental Expert System (EES) capable to sort out the negative sampl...
