Wavelet-based CNN for Predicting PAP Adherence Using Overnight Polysomnography Recordings: a Pilot Study.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder. Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is the first-line treatment, while its effectiveness is significantly limited by incomplete adherence in many patients. This work aims to find a predictive association between data from in-laboratory sleep studies during treatment (PAP titration polysomnogram, or PSG) and PAP adherence.

Benchmarking Various Radiomic Toolkit Features While Applying the Image Biomarker Standardization Initiative toward Clinical Translation of Radiomic Analysis.

The image biomarkers standardization initiative (IBSI) was formed to address the standardization of extraction of quantifiable imaging metrics. Despite its effort, there remains a lack of consensus or established guidelines regarding radiomic feature terminology, the underlying mathematics and their implementation across various software programs. This creates a scenario where features extracted using different toolboxes cannot be used to build or validate the same model leading to a non-generalization of radiomic results.
