Spatial Modeling for Correlated Cancers Using Bivariate Directed Graphs [PDF]
, 2019 Disease maps are an important tool in cancer epidemiology used for the analysis of geographical variations in disease rates and the investigation of environmental risk factors underlying spatial patterns. Cancer maps help epidemiologists highlight geographic areas with high and low prevalence, incidence, or mortality rates of cancers, and the ...

A 3D fully convolutional neural network and a random walker to segment the esophagus in CT [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Precise delineation of organs at risk (OAR) is a crucial task in radiotherapy treatment planning, which aims at delivering high dose to the tumour while sparing healthy tissues. In recent years algorithms showed high performance and the possibility to automate this task for many OAR. However, for some OAR precise delineation remains challenging.

Volumetric laser endomicroscopy and its application to Barrett's esophagus: results from a 1,000 patient registry. [PDF]
, 2019 Volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) for real-time, microscopic cross-sectional imaging. A US-based multi-center registry was constructed to prospectively collect data on patients undergoing upper endoscopy during

Morphology of the Esophageal Hiatus: Is It Different in 3 Types of Hiatus Hernias? [PDF]
, 2020 Background/aimsThe esophageal hiatus is formed by the right crus of the diaphragm in the majority of subjects. Contraction of the hiatus exerts a sphincter-like action on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The aim is to study the hiatal anatomy (using
