Computer-Aided Assessment of Catheters and Tubes on Radiographs: How Good is Artificial Intelligence for Assessment? [PDF]
, 2020 Catheters are the second most common abnormal finding on radiographs. The position of catheters must be assessed on all radiographs, as serious complications can arise if catheters are malpositioned. However, due to the large number of radiographs performed each day, there can be substantial delays between the time a radiograph is performed and when it

, 2011 Catheters are used for effective drainage of the bladder, either temporally or permanently, in the presence of physiological and anatomical defects or obstruction of the lower urinary tract. Catheters are used for a variety of reasons, as follows, to maintain bladder drainage during and following surgery or epidurals anesthesia for minimizing and ...

Automatic catheter detection in pediatric X-ray images using a scale-recurrent network and synthetic data [PDF]
, 2018 Catheters are commonly inserted life supporting devices. X-ray images are used to assess the position of a catheter immediately after placement as serious complications can arise from malpositioned catheters. Previous computer vision approaches to detect catheters on X-ray images either relied on low-level cues that are not sufficiently robust or only ...

Distal subgaleal-peritoneal shunt migration into the abdominal wall with subsequent formation of a pre-peritoneal pseudocyst: a rare complication. [PDF]
, 2010 Distal ventriculo-peritoneal shunt migration and extra-peritoneal CSF pseudocyst formation are unusual complications of shunt placement. We present a 65-year-old-female who received a subgaleal-peritoneal shunt to decompress a post-surgical subgaleal ...
