Purpose: Simple epididymal cysts (EC) are rare in childhood and are mostly diagnosed at puberty. Although there is no consensus on the treatment, a conservative approach is generally preferred. To evaluate patients diagnosed with EC at our clinic in terms of presenting symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment methods.

Article Synopsis
- - The study developed an AI-based system called XRAInet to help identify pediatric patients with pleural effusion or pneumothorax and assess the need for tube thoracostomy.
- - Using 510 X-ray images from 170 patients, XRAInet achieved a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.918, demonstrating strong accuracy in detecting conditions requiring intervention.
- - The results highlight the potential of XRAInet in improving medical imaging and decision-making for these pediatric conditions, while also suggesting future research to enhance its effectiveness and compliance with healthcare regulations.
