Effective reduction of unnecessary biopsies through a deep-learning-assisted aggressive prostate cancer detector.

Scientific reports
Despite being one of the most prevalent cancers, prostate cancer (PCa) shows a significantly high survival rate, provided there is timely detection and treatment. Currently, several screening and diagnostic tests are required to be carried out in ord...

A Machine Learning Algorithm Avoids Unnecessary Paracentesis for Exclusion of SBP in Cirrhosis in Resource-limited Settings.

Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Despite the poor prognosis associated with missed or delayed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) diagnosis, <15% get timely paracentesis, which persists despite guidelines/education in the United States. Measures to exclude SBP...

Appropriate use of blood cultures in the emergency department through machine learning (ABC): study protocol for a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: The liberal use of blood cultures in emergency departments (EDs) leads to low yields and high numbers of false-positive results. False-positive, contaminated cultures are associated with prolonged hospital stays, increased antibiotic us...

Deep learning of mammogram images to reduce unnecessary breast biopsies: a preliminary study.

Breast cancer research : BCR
BACKGROUND: Patients with a Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4 mammogram are currently recommended for biopsy. However, 70-80% of the biopsies are negative/benign. In this study, we developed a deep learning classification algorithm...

Artificial intelligence may help in predicting the need for additional surgery after endoscopic resection of T1 colorectal cancer.

Endoscopy
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Decisions concerning additional surgery after endoscopic resection of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) are difficult because preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is problematic. We investigated whether artificia...

High-Risk Breast Lesions: A Machine Learning Model to Predict Pathologic Upgrade and Reduce Unnecessary Surgical Excision.

Radiology
Purpose To develop a machine learning model that allows high-risk breast lesions (HRLs) diagnosed with image-guided needle biopsy that require surgical excision to be distinguished from HRLs that are at low risk for upgrade to cancer at surgery and t...
