Several artificial intelligence algorithms have been proposed to help diagnose glaucoma by analyzing the functional and/or structural changes in the eye. These algorithms require carefully curated datasets with access to ocular images. In the current...
We describe the first five robot-assisted radical prostatectomies (RARPs) performed with the new Hugo RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in Europe. The five patients underwent RARP ± lymph node dissection at OLV Hospital (Aalst, Belgium). A...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate tests to assess the risk of any cancer for patients referred to the NHS Urgent Suspected Cancer (2-week wait, 2WW) clinical pathways.
This paper proposes a representation learning framework HE-LSTM model for heterogeneous temporal events, which can automatically adapt to the multiscale sampling frequency of multisource heterogeneous data. The proposed model also demonstrates its su...

OBJECTIVES: We propose a framework of health outcomes modeling with dynamic decision making and real-world data (RWD) to evaluate the potential utility of novel risk prediction models in clinical practice. Lung transplant (LTx) referral decisions in ...
In this paper, we first classify different types of second opinions and evaluate the ethical and epistemological implications of providing those in a clinical context. Second, we discuss the issue of how artificial intelligent (AI) could replace the ...
IMPORTANCE: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in adults worldwide. Early detection and intervention can prevent blindness; however, many patients do not receive their recommended annual diabetic eye examinations, primarily owi...
Many experts have emphasised that chatbots are not sufficiently mature to be able to technically diagnose patient conditions or replace the judgements of health professionals. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has significantly increased the utilisatio...
The referral is the key source of information that enables radiologists and radiographers to provide quality services. However, the frequency of suboptimal referrals is widely reported. This research reviews the literature to illuminate the challenge...
