Study Objective: To assess the feasibility of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) of anterior abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) lesions and to describe its efficacy on clinical symptoms and on the volume of the lesion.
Design: Interventional, prospective, noncomparative, phase 1 clinical trial.
Setting: Patients consulting at the multidisciplinary endometriosis expert center at Croix Rousse University Hospital (Hospices Civils de Lyon).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to create a deep learning algorithm to infer the benign or malignant nature of breast nodules using two-dimensional B-mode ultrasound data initially marked as BI-RADS 3 and 4.
Materials And Methods: An ensemble of mask region-based convolutional neural networks (Mask-RCNN) combining nodule segmentation and classification were trained to explicitly localize the nodule and generate a probability of the nodule to be malignant on two-dimensional B-mode ultrasound. These probabilities were aggregated at test time to produce final results.
Purpose: The 2020 edition of these Data Challenges was organized by the French Society of Radiology (SFR), from September 28 to September 30, 2020. The goals were to propose innovative artificial intelligence solutions for the current relevant problems in radiology and to build a large database of multimodal medical images of ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) on these subjects from several French radiology centers.
Materials And Methods: This year the attempt was to create data challenge objectives in line with the clinical routine of radiologists, with less preprocessing of data and annotation, leaving a large part of the preprocessing task to the participating teams.
Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) haemodynamic changes and the degree of coeliac axis (CA) stenosis using phase-contrast MRI.
Methods: The study was institutional review board approved, and written informed consent was obtained from patients included prospectively. A two-dimensional phase-contrast MRI was performed in 23 patients scheduled for a potential complex supramesocolic surgery, in a plane perpendicular to the GDA, during inspiration and expiration.
Background: We wanted to assess whether there was a significant relationship between recruited lung volume (V(rec)) and change in density on digital processed chest x-ray measured at 2 different levels of inspiratory plateau pressure corresponding to 2 PEEP levels in patients with acute lung injury or ARDS.
Methods: In 14 subjects, PEEP 5 cm H2O and 15 cm H2O were prospectively applied in a random order for 10 min. At the end of each period, chest x-ray was taken using a digital portable device, and a pressure-volume curve of the respiratory system was performed.
