This study employed deep-learning convolutional neural networks to stage lung disease severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection on portable chest x-ray (CXR) with radiologist score of disease severity as ground truth. This study consi...
Accurate outcome prediction in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) would allow for better treatment planning, risk adjustment of study populations, and overall improvements in patient care. In the past, prognostic models have focused on mortality using simpl...

Cardiac CT using non-enhanced coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and coronary CT angiography (cCTA) has been proven to provide excellent evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) combining anatomical and morphological assessment of CAD for card...
We aimed to develop machine learning models to accurately predict bronchiolitis severity, and to compare their predictive performance with a conventional scoring (reference) model. In a 17-center prospective study of infants (aged < 1 year) hospitali...
Due to acromegaly's insidious onset and slow progression, its diagnosis is usually delayed, thus causing severe complications and treatment difficulty. A convenient screening method is imperative. Based on our previous work, we herein developed a new...

We have summarized the past efforts and results of objective measurement methods for conjunctival hyperemia classification. Severity classification using conjunctival blood vessel occupancy rate, ocular surface temperature analysis, and artificial in...
Low CFR is associated with poor prognosis, whereas it is a heterogeneous condition according to the actual coronary flow, such as high resting or low hyperemic coronary flow, which should have different physiological traits and clinical implications....
OBJECTIVES: We have previously shown that neural network technology can be used for scoring arthritis disease activity in ultrasound images from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, giving scores according to the EULAR-OMERACT grading system. We have ...
Starting renal replacement therapy (RRT) for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at an optimal time, either with hemodialysis or kidney transplantation, is crucial for patient's well-being and for successful management of the condition. In thi...
