Background: Endoscopic resection (ER) is widely applied to treat early colorectal cancer (CRC). Predicting the invasion depth of early CRC is critical in determining treatment strategies. The use of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) algorithms could theoretically make accurate and objective predictions regarding the suitability of lesions for ER indication based on invasion depth. This study aimed to assess diagnostic test accuracy of CAD algorithms in predicting the invasion depth of early CRC and to compare the performance between the CAD algorithms and endoscopists.
Methods: Multiple databases were searched until June 30, 2022 for studies that evaluated the diagnostic performance of CAD algorithms for invasion depth of CRC. Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy using a bivariate mixed-effects model was performed.
Results: Ten studies consisting of 13 arms (13,918 images from 1472 lesions) were included. Due to significant heterogeneity, studies were stratified into Japan/Korea-based or China-based studies. For the former, the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity of the CAD algorithms were 0.89 (95% CI 0.86-0.91), 62% (95% CI 50-72%), and 96% (95% CI 93-98%), respectively. For the latter, AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.94 (95% CI 0.92-0.96), 88% (95% CI 78-94%), and 88% (95% CI 80-93%), respectively. The performance of the CAD algorithms in Japan/Korea-based studies was not significantly different from that of all endoscopists (0.88 vs. 0.91, P = 0.10) but was inferior to that of expert endoscopists (0.88 vs. 0.92, P = 0.03). The performance of the CAD algorithms in China-based studies was better than that of all endoscopists (0.94 vs. 0.90, P = 0.01).
Conclusion: The CAD algorithms showed comparable accuracy for prediction of invasion depth of early CRC compared to all endoscopists, which was still lower than expert endoscopists in diagnostic accuracy; more improvements should be achieved before it can be extensively applied to clinical practice.

A crucial role in many security and surveillance applications is crowd anomaly detection, where seeing unusual activity helps avert possible threats or interruptions. For precise anomaly identification, current models might not successfully incorporate spatial and temporal features. To overcome these drawbacks, a novel Crowd Anomaly Detection based on Opposition Behavior Learning updated Chimp Optimization Algorithm (CAD-OBLChoA) is proposed in this research to enhance the detection of abnormal crowd behaviours in dynamic environments.

Background: Computer-assisted surgery has transformed the approach to jaw resection and reconstruction in recent years. However, the extensive time and technical expertise needed for the planning and creation of patient-specific implants and guides have posed significant challenges for many surgeons in the field. This study introduces a novel algorithm designed to streamline the traditionally intricate and time-consuming Computer-Aided Design (CAD) process for developing patient-specific implants (PSIs).

The new 2024 European guideline on chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) is a pivotal document for clinical practice, updating the evidence and indications after five years, incorporating insights from the paradigm-shifting ISCHEMIA trial. This article explores the evolving role of functional and anatomical testing in assessing coronary artery disease (CAD), highlighting the introduction of a new risk probability score based on clinical and risk factors. Additionally, it provides a detailed comparison between these European recommendations and those from the most influential American guidelines, emphasizing key differences in the approach to risk stratification and diagnostic strategies.

In recent years, there has been increasing research on computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) using deep learning and image processing techniques. Still, most studies have focused on the benign-malignant classification of nodules. In this study, we propose an integrated architecture for grading thyroid nodules based on the Chinese Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (C-TIRADS).

Purpose: Various specialized and general collimators are used for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to assess different types of coronary artery disease (CAD). Alongside the wide variability in imaging characteristics, the apriori "learnt" information of left ventricular (LV) shape can affect the final diagnosis of the imaging protocol. This study evaluates the effect of prior information incorporation into the segmentation process, compared to deep learning (DL) approaches, as well as the differences of 4 collimation techniques on 5 different datasets.
