Automated Identification of Thoracic Pathology from Chest Radiographs with Enhanced Training Pipeline [PDF]
Chest x-rays are the most common radiology studies for diagnosing lung and heart disease. Hence, a system for automated pre-reporting of pathologic findings on chest x-rays would greatly enhance radiologists' productivity. To this end, we investigate a deep-learning framework with novel training schemes for classification of different thoracic ...

Morphology of the Esophageal Hiatus: Is It Different in 3 Types of Hiatus Hernias? [PDF]
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

Tethered capsule en face optical coherence tomography for imaging Barrett's esophagus in unsedated patients [PDF]
Detection of Barrett's esophagus (BE) at points of care outside the endoscopy suite may improve screening access and reduce esophageal adenocarcinoma mortality. Tethered capsule optical coherence tomography (OCT) can volumetrically image esophageal mucosa and detect BE in unsedated patients.

Longitudinal detection of radiological abnormalities with time-modulated LSTM [PDF]
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been successfully employed in recent years for the detection of radiological abnormalities in medical images such as plain x-rays. To date, most studies use CNNs on individual examinations in isolation and discard previously available clinical information.
