BACKGROUND: Quantitative coronary plaque parameters are increasingly being utilized as surrogate endpoints of pharmaceutical trials. However, little is known whether differences in segmentation significantly alter parameter values.
BACKGROUND: Although optimal treatment of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) requires accurate evaluation of cancer invasion depth, the current process is rather subjective and may vary by observer. We, therefore, aimed to develop a...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning has led to several endoscopic studies about the automated localization of digestive lesions and prediction of cancer invasion depth. Training and validation dataset collection are required for a disease in each digestive ...
To enable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiotherapy with real-time adaptation, motion must be quickly estimated with low latency. The motion estimate is used to adapt the radiation beam to the current anatomy, yielding a more conformal dos...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia has been confirmed as a poor prognostic indicator of lung cancer. However, the lack of abdominal computed tomography (CT) hindered the application to assess the status of sarcopenia. The purpose of this study was to assess the ...
Unplanned conversion from minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to open surgery is a significant challenge, although the frequency of conversion for robotic and laparoscopic kidney surgery is not well described. We aimed to compare rates of conversion fo...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread globally, and medical resources become insufficient in many regions. Fast diagnosis of COVID-19 and finding high-risk patients with worse prognosis for early prevention and medical resource optimisation ...
