Pneumothorax and chest tube classification on chest x-rays for detection of missed pneumothorax [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Chest x-ray imaging is widely used for the diagnosis of pneumothorax and there has been significant interest in developing automated methods to assist in image interpretation. We present an image classification pipeline which detects pneumothorax as well as the various types of chest tubes that are commonly used to treat pneumothorax.

Bottom-Up Instance Segmentation of Catheters for Chest X-Rays [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Chest X-ray (CXR) is frequently employed in emergency departments and intensive care units to verify the proper placement of central lines and tubes and to rule out related complications. The automation of the X-ray reading process can be a valuable support tool for non-specialist technicians and minimize reporting delays due to non-availability of ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.There is an unmet need in metastatic breast cancer patients to monitor therapy response in real time. In this study, we show how a noninvasive and affordable strategy based on sequencing of plasma samples with longitudinal tracking of tumour fraction paired with a statistical model provides valuable information on treatment response in advance of the ...
