OBJECTIVES: To describe and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven structured reporting system by direct comparison of automatically generated reports to results from actual clinical reports generated by nuclear cardiology experts.
IMPORTANCE: There has been wide interest in using artificial intelligence (AI)-based grading of retinal images to identify diabetic retinopathy, but such a system has never been deployed and evaluated in clinical practice.

AIMS: To predict the probability of a seizure-free (SF) state in patients with epilepsy (PWEs) after treatment with levetiracetam and to identify the clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) factors that affect outcomes.
OBJECTIVES: An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the result of co-operative actions performed by brain cells. In other words, it can be defined as the time course of extracellular field potentials that are generated due to the synchronous action of cells...
