PURPOSE: Automated detection of solitary pulmonary nodules using positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) images shows good sensitivity; however, it is difficult to detect nodules in contact with normal organs, and additional e...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of a support vector machine algorithm that automatically and objectively identifies corneal patterns based on a combination of 22 parameters obtained from Pentacam measurements and to compare this method with othe...
BACKGROUND: Patients with the postural instability and gait difficulty subtype (PIGD) of Parkinson's disease (PD) are a refractory challenge in clinical practice. Despite previous attempts that have been made at studying subtype-specific brain altera...

AIMS OF STUDY: In this work, we enhanced the role of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test by examining the relation between free PSA (fPSA) and total PSA (tPSA) value and other biological information such as age and volume of prostate. Our primary go...
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to use natural language processing (NLP) as a supplement to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and laboratory values in an automated algorithm to better define and risk-stratif...
