Article Synopsis
- The study explores how combining theoretical models with Monte Carlo simulations can improve predictions of cell survival following radiation-induced DNA damage.
- Methods were optimized for proton irradiation on the Chinese hamster V79 cell line, and discrepancies from existing survival data were analyzed using two different simulation approaches.
- The findings highlight the importance of accurate modeling, revealing a new method that reduces prediction error significantly, while also refining a user-friendly interface for easier comparison of predictive models in future research.
Article Synopsis
- Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is advancing medical image analysis, helping doctors understand AI decisions better for improved diagnostics.
- This study evaluates three XAI strategies using a deep learning model that analyzes both optical coherence tomography and infrared imaging to diagnose age-related macular degeneration, achieving a high accuracy of 0.94.
- The findings suggest that combining grad-CAM and guided grad-CAM offers effective visual justifications while providing detailed insights into retinal damage, leading to recommendations for designing automated screening tests.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of highly detailed ventral hernia repair (VHR) operative reports and associations between operative report detail and postoperative outcomes in a medico-legal dataset.
Background: VHR are one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States. Previous work has shown that VHR operative reports are poorly detailed, however, the relationship between operative report detail and patient outcomes is unknown.
