BACKGROUND: Complete upside-down stomach (cUDS) hernias are a subgroup of large hiatal hernias characterized by high risk of life-threatening complications and technically challenging surgical repair including complex mediastinal dissection. In a pro...
AIM: The aim of this study was to determine whether our deep convolutional neural network-based anomaly detection model can distinguish differences in esophagus images and stomach images obtained from gastric X-ray examinations.
The human stomach breaks down and transports food by coordinated radial contractions of the gastric walls. The radial contractions periodically propagate through the stomach and constitute the peristaltic contractions, also called the gastric motilit...
BACKGROUND: Recurrent gastroesophageal reflux symptoms in adolescents and young adults who underwent fundoplication in childhood present a technical challenge for the surgeon. The distal oesophagus and hiatus are difficult to access by laparotomy, th...
Segmentation of normal organs is a critical and time-consuming process in radiotherapy. Auto-segmentation of abdominal organs has been made possible by the advent of the convolutional neural network. We utilized the U-Net, a 3D-patch-based convolutio...
The retention of a capsule endoscope (CE) in the stomach and the duodenal bulb during the examination is a troublesome problem, which can make the medical staff spend several hours observing whether the CE enters the descending segment of the duodenu...
We present a comprehensive analysis of the submissions to the first edition of the Endoscopy Artefact Detection challenge (EAD). Using crowd-sourcing, this initiative is a step towards understanding the limitations of existing state-of-the-art comput...
Biological morphologies of cells and tissues represent their physiological and pathological conditions. The importance of quantitative assessment of morphological information has been highly recognized in clinical diagnosis and therapeutic strategies...
From cancer diagnosis to detailed characterization of arterial wall biomechanics, the elastic property of tissues is widely studied as an early sign of disease onset. The fibrous structural features of tissues are a direct measure of its health and f...
