Clinical evaluation of accelerated diffusion-weighted imaging of rectal cancer using a denoising neural network.

European journal of radiology
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effectiveness of a deep learning denoising approach to accelerate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and thus improve diagnostic accuracy and image quality in restaging rectal MRI following total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT).

Bio-inspired circular soft actuators for simulating defecation process of human rectum.

Journal of artificial organs : the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs
Soft robots have found extensive applications in the medical field, particularly in rehabilitation exercises, assisted grasping, and artificial organs. Despite significant advancements in simulating various components of the digestive system, the rec...

Online Adaptive Proton Therapy Facilitated by Artificial Intelligence-Based Autosegmentation in Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Online adaptive proton therapy (oAPT) is essential to address interfractional anatomical changes in patients receiving pencil beam scanning proton therapy. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based autosegmentation can increase the efficiency and a...

Automatic segmentation of high-risk clinical target volume and organs at risk in brachytherapy of cervical cancer with a convolutional neural network.

Cancer radiotherapie : journal de la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique
PURPOSE: This study aimed to design an autodelineation model based on convolutional neural networks for generating high-risk clinical target volumes and organs at risk in image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for cervical cancer.

Diagnosis of Hirschsprung disease by analyzing acetylcholinesterase staining using artificial intelligence.

Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition
OBJECTIVES: Classical Hirschsprung disease (HD) is defined by the absence of ganglion cells in the rectosigmoid colon. The diagnosis is made from rectal biopsy, which reveals the aganglionosis and the presence of cholinergic hyperinnervation. However...

AI-driven automatic compression system for colorectal anastomosis.

Journal of robotic surgery
Although circular staplers offer technical advancements over traditional hand-sewn techniques, their use remains challenging for unskilled users, necessitating substantial time and experience for mastery. In particular, it is challenging to apply a c...

Intraoperative left-sided colorectal anastomotic testing in clinical practice: a multi-treatment machine-learning analysis of the iCral3 prospective cohort.

Updates in surgery
BACKGROUND: Current evidence about intraoperative anastomotic testing after left-sided colorectal resections is still controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Indocyanine Green fluorescent angiography (ICG-FA) and air-leak te...
