RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop artificial intelligence (AI) system that assists in checking endotracheal tube (ETT) placement on chest X-rays (CXRs) and evaluate whether it can move into clinical validation as a quality improvement tool.
BACKGROUND: Improper endotracheal tube (ETT) positioning is frequently observed and potentially hazardous in the intensive care unit. The authors developed a deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm detecting the ETT tip and carina on portab...
BACKGROUND: Chest radiographs are routinely performed in intensive care unit (ICU) to confirm the correct position of an endotracheal tube (ETT) relative to the carina. However, their interpretation is often challenging and requires substantial time ...
Timely and accurate interpretation of chest radiographs obtained to evaluate endotracheal tube (ETT) position is important for facilitating prompt adjustment if needed. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the performance of a deep learning (DL...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of intravenous injection of iodine contrast agent on the tracheal diameter and lung volume. In this retrospective study, a total of 221 patients (71.1 ± 12.4 years, 174 males) who underwent vascular dynamic...
PURPOSE: To compare computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography and unenhanced CT to determine the effect of rapid iodine contrast agent infusion on tracheal diameter and lung volume.
In the realm of pulmonary tracheal segmentation, the scarcity of annotated data stands as a prevalent pain point in most medical segmentation endeavors. Concurrently, most Deep Learning (DL) methodologies employed in this domain invariably grapple wi...

Tracheal collapse is a chronic and progressively worsening disease; the severity of clinical symptoms experienced by affected individuals depends on the degree of airway collapse. Cutting-edge automated tools are necessary to modernize disease screen...
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) affects about 3-7% of the global population, but is often undiagnosed. It involves pauses in breathing during sleep, for at least 10 s, due to partial or total airway blockage. The current gold standard for diagnosing SAS i...

BACKGROUND: Enteral feeding intolerance, a common type of gastrointestinal dysfunction leading to underfeeding, is associated with increased mortality. Tracheal pepsin A, an indicator of microaspiration, was found in 39% of patients within 24 hours o...
