A Mixed-Supervision Multilevel GAN Framework for Image Quality Enhancement [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Deep neural networks for image quality enhancement typically need large quantities of highly-curated training data comprising pairs of low-quality images and their corresponding high-quality images. While high-quality image acquisition is typically expensive and time-consuming, medium-quality images are faster to acquire, at lower equipment costs, and ...

Augmenting endometriosis analysis from ultrasound data with deep learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Endometriosis is a non-malignant disorder that affects 176 million women globally. Diagnostic delays result in severe dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. Therefore, there is a significant need to diagnose patients at an early stage.

Unpaired Translation from Semantic Label Maps to Images by Leveraging Domain-Specific Simulations [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Photorealistic image generation from simulated label maps are necessitated in several contexts, such as for medical training in virtual reality. With conventional deep learning methods, this task requires images that are paired with semantic annotations, which typically are unavailable.

The Use of Plasmapheresis in Treatment of Patients with Infertility, Peritoneal Endometriosis and Nat2 Gene Polymorphism [PDF]
, 2016 It is known that 30–40 % of patients with peritoneal endometriosis suffer from infertility. Half of the patients with endometriosis are identified point mutation in NAT2 – gene, which plays an important role in the acetylation of aromatic and ...

Development of a Deep Learning System for Intra-Operative Identification of Cancer Metastases [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 For several cancer patients, operative resection with curative intent can end up in early recurrence of the cancer. Current limitations in peri-operative cancer staging and especially intra-operative misidentification of visible metastases is likely the main reason leading to unnecessary operative interventions in the affected individuals.

Kurt Semm and an automatic insufflator [PDF]
, 1998 Work on tubal insufflation marked the beginning of Kurt Semm's (b. 1927) scientific career. In the early 1960s, he directed his attention to the fact that, from a technical standpoint, tubal insufflation was similar to creating pneumoperitoneum.

Rectal Dieulafoy’s Lesion: An Underrecognized Cause of Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2017 Dieulafoy’s lesion is a rare but potentially a life-threatening condition. It accounts for 1%–2% of acute gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The lesion is most frequently located in the stomach and may be located anywhere in the alimentary tract.

Multi-View Attention Learning for Residual Disease Prediction of Ovarian Cancer [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In the treatment of ovarian cancer, precise residual disease prediction is significant for clinical and surgical decision-making. However, traditional methods are either invasive (e.g., laparoscopy) or time-consuming (e.g., manual analysis). Recently, deep learning methods make many efforts in automatic analysis of medical images.
