The swim bladder is crucial to underwater robots to enhance their overall performance and to expand their range of motion. However, previous attempts to incorporate this function have failed or have adopted mechanical swim bladders with high-disturba...
Postoperative acute urinary retention (pAUR) is a known occurrence after robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation via an extravesical approach (RALUR-EV). We hypothesized that the risk factor of pAUR after RALUR-EV might be similar to tha...

INTRODUCTION: Urethro-vesical anastomosis stenosis following radical prostatectomy is a rare complication but represents a challenging situation. While the first-line treatment is endoscopic, recurrences after urethrotomies require a radical approach...
The Khorana score (KS) is used to predict the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) for cancer patients. We sought to assess the association between KS and VTE for patients who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). We reviewed our pros...
OBJECTIVE: Accurate bladder size estimation is an important clinical parameter that assists physicians, enabling them to provide better treatment for patients who are suffering from urinary incontinence. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non...
Despite the relative ease of locating organs in the human body, automated organ segmentation has been hindered by the scarcity of labeled training data. Due to the tedium of labeling organ boundaries, most datasets are limited to either a small numbe...
Cancer patient classification using predictive biomarkers for anti-cancer drug responses is essential for improving therapeutic outcomes. However, current machine-learning-based predictions of drug response often fail to identify robust translational...

PURPOSE: To investigate machine segmentation of pelvic anatomy in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-assisted radiosurgery (MARS) for prostate cancer using prostate brachytherapy MRIs acquired with different pulse sequences and image contrasts.
PURPOSE: Auto-contouring may reduce workload, interobserver variation, and time associated with manual contouring of organs at risk. Manual contouring remains the standard due in part to uncertainty around the time and workload savings after accounti...
Efficient and accurate methods are needed to automatically segmenting organs-at-risk (OAR) to accelerate the radiotherapy workflow and decrease the treatment wait time. We developed and evaluated the use of a fused model Dense V-Network for its abil...
