This paper aims to study the evolution of CO concentrations and emissions on a conventional farm with weaned piglets between 6.9 and 17.0 kg live weight based on setpoint temperature, outdoor temperature, and ventilation flow. The experimental trial ...
Fluorescence imaging is increasingly being implemented in surgery. One of the drawbacks of its application is the need to switch back-and-forth between fluorescence- and white-light-imaging settings and not being able to dissect safely under fluoresc...
OBJECTIVE: This feasibility study aimed to use optimized virtual contrast enhancement through generative adversarial networks (GAN) to reduce the dose of iodine-based contrast medium (CM) during abdominal computed tomography (CT) in a large animal mo...
Safe and secure closure of the vaginal cuff is a critical component of a robotic assisted hysterectomy procedure. Our aim in this study is to develop and validate a novel vaginal cuff closure model (VC) created from porcine heart that allows trainees...
BACKGROUND: Using conventional endoscope to perform endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is difficult because of the one-handed operation and blind dissection caused by gravity. Poor visualization of the submucosal plane causes ESD to be associated...
Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) reconstructs electrograms at the heart's surface using the potentials recorded at the body's surface. This is called the inverse problem of electrocardiography. This study aimed to improve on the current solution m...
BACKGROUND: MR-based methods for attenuation correction (AC) in PET/MRI either neglect attenuation of bone, or use MR-signal derived information about bone, which leads to a bias in quantification of tracer uptake in PET. In a previous study, we pres...
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the accuracy, safety, and feasibility of a computed tomography (CT)-guided robotic assistance system for percutaneous needle placement in the kidney.
Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition where the surgeon often has to make important but difficult decisions regarding resections and resection margins. Previous studies have shown that 3 h (hours) of warm full ischemia of the small bowel followe...
