Background: Dementia, with Alzheimer's disease (AD) being the most common type of this neurodegenerative disease, is an under-diagnosed health problem in older people. The creation of classification models based on AD risk factors using Deep Learning is a promising tool to minimize the impact of under-diagnosis.

Objective: To develop a Deep Learning model that uses clinical data from patients with dementia to classify whether they have AD.

Methods: A Deep Learning model to identify AD in clinical records is proposed. In addition, several rebalancing methods have been used to preprocess the dataset and several studies have been carried out to tune up the model.

Results: Model has been tested against other well-established machine learning techniques, having better results than these in terms of AUC with alpha less than 0.05.

Conclusions: The developed Neural Network Model has a good performance and can be an accurate assisting tool for AD diagnosis.

Image-to-image translation has gained popularity in the medical field to transform images from one domain to another. Medical image synthesis via domain transformation is advantageous in its ability to augment an image dataset where images for a given class are limited. From the learning perspective, this process contributes to the data-oriented robustness of the model by inherently broadening the model's exposure to more diverse visual data and enabling it to learn more generalized features.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the contact relationship and position of impacted mandibular third molar teeth (IMM) with the mandibular canal (MC) in panoramic radiography (PR) images using deep learning (DL) models trained with the help of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and DL to compare the performances of the architectures.

Methods: In this study, a total of 546 IMMs from 290 patients with CBCT and PR images were included. The performances of SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet, and Inception-v3 architectures in solving four problems on two different regions of interest (RoI) were evaluated.

Objectives: We evaluated the noise reduction effects of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) in brain computed tomography (CT).

Methods: CT images of a 16 cm dosimetry phantom, a head phantom, and the brains of 11 patients were reconstructed using filtered backprojection (FBP) and various levels of DLR and HIR. The slice thickness was 5, 2.

Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality among women in Taiwan and globally. Non-invasive imaging methods, such as mammography and ultrasound, are critical for early detection, yet standalone modalities have limitations in regard to their diagnostic accuracy. This study aims to enhance breast cancer detection through a cross-modality fusion approach combining mammography and ultrasound imaging, using advanced convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures.
