Esophageal virtual disease landscape using mechanics-informed machine learning [PDF]
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. 134 (2022) 102435, 2021 The pathogenesis of esophageal disorders is related to the esophageal wall mechanics. Therefore, to understand the underlying fundamental mechanisms behind various esophageal disorders, it is crucial to map the esophageal wall mechanics-based parameters onto physiological and pathophysiological conditions corresponding to altered bolus transit and ...

Prognostic Value of Bone Marrow Uptake Using 18F-FDG PET/CT Scans in Solid Neoplasms
Journal of Imaging, 2022 Background: Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) uptake is known to increase in infective and inflammatory conditions. Systemic inflammation plays a role in oncologic prognosis. Consequently,

Natural language processing to automatically extract the presence and severity of esophagitis in notes of patients undergoing radiotherapy [PDF]
, 2023 Radiotherapy (RT) toxicities can impair survival and quality-of-life, yet remain under-studied. Real-world evidence holds potential to improve our understanding of toxicities, but toxicity information is often only in clinical notes. We developed natural language processing (NLP) models to identify the presence and severity of esophagitis from notes of

Mechanics Informed Fluoroscopy of Esophageal Transport [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology. 20 (2021) 925-940, 2020 Fluoroscopy is a radiographic procedure for evaluating esophageal disorders such as achalasia, dysphasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It performs dynamic imaging of the swallowing process and provides anatomical detail and a qualitative idea of how well swallowed fluid is transported through the esophagus.

Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening Segmentation with Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks in High Resolution Cervical Auscultation [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (2020), 2020 Upper esophageal sphincter is an important anatomical landmark of the swallowing process commonly observed through the kinematic analysis of radiographic examinations that are vulnerable to subjectivity and clinical feasibility issues. Acting as the doorway of esophagus, upper esophageal sphincter allows the transition of ingested materials from ...
