BACKGROUND: Isolated pancreatic metastasis from melanoma is extremely uncommon and accounts for approximately only 2% of visceral disseminations of melanoma. Interestingly, pancreatic localizations disproportionately derive from primary ocular melano...
BACKGROUND: Recently, several case reports and limited randomized studies have shown that quadratus lumborum blocks (QLB) are effective in providing pain relief after intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal operations. Additionally, robot-assisted partia...

PURPOSE: Noise-free ultrasound images are essential for organ monitoring during regional ultrasound-guided therapy. When the affected area is located under the ribs, however, acoustic shadow is caused by the reflection of sound from hard tissues such...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a favored surgical approach for treating prostate cancer. However, RALP does not decrease postoperative pain significantly despite its minimal invasiveness. The pain associated with robo...
BACKGROUND: Due to the low cancer-detection rate in patients with PIRADS category 3 lesions, we created machine learning (ML) models to facilitate decision-making about whether to perform prostate biopsies or monitor clinical information without biop...
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography for neuraxial anesthesia is increasingly being used to identify spinal structures and the identification of correct point of needle insertion to improve procedural success, in particular in obesity. We developed an ultraso...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Fast and robust alignment of pre-operative MRI planning scans to intra-operative ultrasound is an important aspect for automatically supporting image-guided interventions. Thus far, learning-based approaches have failed to t...
INTRODUCTION: There is still a lack of availability of high-quality multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) interpreted by experienced uro-radiologists to rule out clinically significant PC (csPC). Consequently, we developed a new imaging ...
AIMS: The aim of this study is to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) methodology capable of automated and accurate segmentation of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image sequences in real-time.
