The long-term split renal function after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to assess long-term renal function of RAPN, using renal scintigraphy, and to identify clinical factors related to deteriorat...
BACKGROUND: BSI calculated from bone scintigraphy using technetium-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-MDP) is used as a quantitative indicator of metastatic bone involvement in bone metastasis diagnosis, therapeutic effect assessment, and prognosis predicti...

Metal artifacts are very common in CT scans since metal insertion or replacement is performed for enhancing certain functionality or mechanism of patient's body. These streak artifacts could degrade CT image quality severely, and consequently, they c...
In this paper, a simplified yet efficient architecture of a deep convolutional neural network is presented for lung image classification. The images used for classification are computed tomography (CT) scan images obtained from two scientifically use...
