BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a routine neurosurgical procedure for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion. Despite standardized procedures, a considerable risk of infection remains. While CSF EVD-related infections (EVD-RI) are common and have been extensively studied, surgical...

Simple generalized thresholds for assessing functional impairment in clinical testing are limited, as they fail to consider patient-specific properties such as age, body height, and body mass index. A previously developed machine learning-based model for personalized testing using the five-repetition sit-to-stand (5R-S...

Digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) are synthetic projections derived from computed tomography (CT) data and are increasingly used in 3D synthetic image generation. However, variability in preprocessing and projection frameworks limits reproducibility and comparability across studies. We present a standardized p...

This work aims to train a multiclass vertebral subregion segmentation model with different model architectures, using a standard nnU-Net, a nnU-Net with residual encoder, and a shifted window U-Net transformer for semantic segmentation of thoracolumbar spine CTs.

Evaluation strategies for synthetic medical imaging showed substantial variability and no single metric captured fidelity, realism, diversity, and clinical validity simultaneously, suggesting a task-specific, layered evaluation framework could improve comparability and facilitate clinical adoption.

The deep learning model demonstrated high accuracy in segmenting meningiomas and modest performance for peritumoral edema on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, support the potential utility of automated segmentation tools in clinical workflows.
