Machine learning‐based classification of varicocoele grading: A promising approach for diagnosis and treatment optimization

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Varicocoele is a correctable cause of male infertility. Although physical examination is still being used in diagnosis and grading, it gives conflicting results when compared to ultrasonography‐based varicocoele grading. Objectives We aimed to develop a multi‐class machine learning model for the grading of varicocoeles based on ...

KEVS: Enhancing Segmentation of Visceral Adipose Tissue in Pre-Cystectomy CT with Gaussian Kernel Density Estimation [PDF]

arXiv
Purpose: The distribution of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in cystectomy patients is indicative of the incidence of post-operative complications. Existing VAT segmentation methods for computed tomography (CT) employing intensity thresholding have limitations relating to inter-observer variability. Moreover, the difficulty in creating ground-truth masks
