Use of superpixels for improvement of inter-rater and intra-rater reliability during annotation of medical images.

In the context of automatic medical image segmentation based on statistical learning, raters' variability of ground truth segmentations in training datasets is a widely recognized issue. Indeed, the reference information is provided by experts but bias due to their knowledge may affect the quality of the ground truth data, thus hindering creation of robust and reliable datasets employed in segmentation, classification or detection tasks. In such a framework, automatic medical image segmentation would significantly benefit from utilizing some form of presegmentation during training data preparation process, which could lower the impact of experts' knowledge and reduce time-consuming labeling efforts.

A new form of neurotherapy for a patient with anxiety disorder and anomic aphasia after neurosurgery for a ruptured brain aneurysm post-COVID-19.

Introduction And Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new, neuromarker-based form of neurotherapy for a patient with anxiety disorders and anomic aphasia after a neurosurgical operation for a ruptured brain aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA), detected after COVID-19.

Case Report: A 78-year-old right-handed patient, not previously treated for any chronic diseases except stage II hypertension, contracted COVID-19, confirmed by real time RT- PCR. He was treated on an outpatient basis.

Endovascular embolization of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms with the use of pCONus device: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The following study aimed to summarize the overall safety and efficacy of the pCONus device in the treatment of wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms.

Material And Methods: Major electronic medical databases were thoroughly searched to identify relevant studies. Data regarding the type of included studies, type of aneurysm and its location, treatment results measured in Raymond-Roy Occlusion Class (RROC) and its complications, as well as patients' neurological outcome at the discharge were extracted from the eligible studies and included in the meta-analysis.

Angiographic and clinical results of anterior communicating artery aneurysm endovascular treatment.

Introduction: The anterior communicating artery (ACoA) is the most common location of intracranial aneurysms, observed in 35% of cases. Endovascular treatment has become an alternative to surgical clipping and the primary method of choice.

Aim: To assess the treatment results of ruptured and unruptured ACoA aneurysms and to assess the incidence of intraprocedural complications and various factors influencing these aspects.
