Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the challenge of accurately identifying and measuring aortic aneurysms, which is crucial but often limited by the time-consuming nature of high-resolution 3D CMR sequences used for assessment.
- Researchers developed a 3D U-Net that can create detailed 3D segmentations of the aorta from standard 2D images with lower resolution, enhancing the efficiency of aortic assessments in clinical and population studies.
- The results showed that the new U-Net model produced 93% clinically suitable segmentations and achieved a high DICE score of 0.9, matching the accuracy of traditional high-resolution methods, indicating its potential for reliable clinical use.
Introduction: The number of applications for cardiothoracic surgery has been steadily dropping over the past decades. We aim to assess whether a 1-day cardiothoracic surgical skills conference could increase interest into the speciality.
Methods: Participants included in the study had to be medical students or junior doctors.
This is a report of a 31-year-old male refugee, who was admitted to Intensive Therapy Unit after being found in severe chest pain after escaping extreme torture from his home country.
