Uncertainty-aware deep learning for trustworthy prediction of long-term outcome after endovascular thrombectomy.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading global cause of mortality and morbidity. Improving long-term outcome predictions after thrombectomy can enhance treatment quality by supporting clinical decision-making. With the advent of interpretable deep learning methods in recent years, it is now possible to develop trustworthy, high-performing prediction models.

Automatic plane adjustment of orthopedic intraoperative flat panel detector CT-volumes.

To assess the result in orthopedic trauma surgery, usually three-dimensional volume data of the treated region is acquired. With mobile C-arm systems, these acquisitions can be performed intraoperatively, reducing the number of required revision surgeries. However, the acquired volumes are typically not aligned to the anatomical regions.

Computer-assisted contralateral side comparison of the ankle joint using flat panel technology.

Purpose: Reduction and osteosynthesis of ankle fractures is a challenging surgical procedure when it comes to the verification of the reduction result. Evaluation is conducted using intra-operative imaging of the injured ankle and depends on the expertise of the surgeon. Studies suggest that intra-individual variance of the ankle bone shape and pose is considerably lower than the inter-individual variance.
