BACKGROUND: The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) comprises 6 categories used for the diagnosis of thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Each category has an associated risk of malignancy, which is important in the ...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of image quality of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) on the diagnostic performance of a machine learning-based CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR).
Accurate tracking of tissue motion is critically important for several ultrasound elastography methods. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using three published convolution neural network (CNN) models built for optical flow (hereafter r...
By training the deep neural network model, the hidden features in Surface Electromyography(sEMG) signals can be extracted. The motion intention of the human can be predicted by analysis of sEMG. However, the models recently proposed by researchers of...

OBJECTIVES: In Japan, endoscopic resection (ER) is often used to treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) when invasion depths are diagnosed as EP-SM1, whereas ESCC cases deeper than SM2 are treated by surgical operation or chemoradiotherapy. ...
Pancreas segmentation is a challenging task in medical image analysis especially for the patients with pancreatic cancer. First, the images often have poor contrast and blurred boundaries. Second, there exist large variations in gray scale, texture, ...

Numerous societal trends are compelling a transition from inpatient to outpatient venues of care for medical rehabilitation. While there are advantages to outpatient rehabilitation (e.g., lower cost, more relevant to home and community function), the...
OBJECTIVE: Electroencephalography (EEG) recorded during transcranial alternating current simulation (tACS) is highly desirable in order to investigate brain dynamics during stimulation, but is corrupted by large amplitude stimulation artefacts. Artef...

BACKGROUND: Assessment of psoriasis severity is strongly observer-dependent, and objective assessment tools are largely missing. The increasing number of patients receiving highly expensive therapies that are reimbursed only for moderate-to-severe ps...
Septic shock is induced by an uncontrolled inflammatory immune response to pathogens and the survival rate of patients with pediatric septic shock (PSS) is particularly low, with a mortality rate of 25‑50%. The present study explored the mechanisms o...
