OBJECTIVE: The manual adjudication of disease classification is time-consuming, error-prone, and limits scaling to large datasets. In ischemic stroke (IS), subtype classification is critical for management and outcome prediction. This study sought to...
BACKGROUND: Identifying people at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is a cornerstone of preventative cardiology. Risk prediction models currently recommended by clinical guidelines are typically based on a limited number of predictors with sub-op...
OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of a data-driven, model-based classification approach to discriminate idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) patients from healthy controls (HC) based on between-network connectivity in whole-brain resting-state functional MRI (rs-...
Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that generates high-resolution volumetric images. This modality finds widespread usage in ophthalmology for the diagnosis and management of various ocular conditi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: For diagnosis of arrhythmic heart problems, electrocardiogram (ECG) signals should be recorded and monitored. The long-term signal records obtained are analyzed by expert cardiologists. Devices such as the Holter monitor hav...
To develop a deep learning system based on 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and to automatically predict EGFR-mutant pulmonary adenocarcinoma in CT images. A dataset of 579 nodules with EGFR mutation status labels of mutant (Mut) or wild-type...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Apnea is one of the most common conditions that causes sleep-disorder breathing. With growing number of patients worldwide, more and more patients suffer from complications of apnea. But most of them stay untreated due to th...
Oscillometric blood pressure (BP) monitors currently estimate a single point but do not identify variations in response to physiological characteristics. In this paper, to analyze BP's normality based on oscillometric measurements, we use statistical...
Background Mammographic density improves the accuracy of breast cancer risk models. However, the use of breast density is limited by subjective assessment, variation across radiologists, and restricted data. A mammography-based deep learning (DL) mod...
