OBJECTIVE: To define the conversion risk to open procedure during robot-assisted thyroid surgery (RATS) identifying potential specific subclasses of procedures or accesses at higher conversion risk.
Ultrasound imaging technology has the advantage of being convenient, less harmful and widely applied, making ultrasonography one of the most popular methods for disease diagnosis. With the rapid development of Computer- Aided Diagnosis (CAD) technolo...
Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is an emerging contaminant prevalent in the environment as one of main substitutes of bisphenol A (BPA). It was found that BPAF exhibited estrogenic effects in zebrafish larvae in our previous study, while little is known about it...
OBJECTIVE: Natural language processing (NLP) systems convert unstructured text into analyzable data. Here, we describe the performance measures of NLP to capture granular details on nodules from thyroid ultrasound (US) reports and reveal critical iss...
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of thyroid diseases has been increasing year by year. In this study, we established and validated a deep learning method (Cascade region-based convolutional neural network, R-CNN) based on ultrasound videos for automatic de...
Digital pathology has recently been more broadly deployed, fueling artificial intelligence (AI) application development and more systematic use of image analysis. Here, two different AI models were developed to evaluate follicular cell hypertrophy in...
Surgeons must visually distinguish soft-tissues, such as nerves, from surrounding anatomy to prevent complications and optimize patient outcomes. An accurate nerve segmentation and analysis tool could provide useful insight for surgical decision-maki...
