Automated Assessment of Critical View of Safety in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is one of the most common procedures in the US, with more than 1.2M procedures annually. Compared with classical open cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is associated with significantly shorter recovery period, and hence is the preferred method.

Deep Learning for Classifying and Characterizing Atmospheric Ducting within the Maritime Setting [PDF]
, 2020 Real-time characterization of refractivity within the marine atmospheric boundary layer can provide valuable information that can potentially be used to mitigate the effects of atmospheric ducting on radar performance. Many duct characterization models are successful at predicting parameters from a specific refractivity profile associated with a given ...
