Automatic Liver Segmentation from CT Images Using Deep Learning Algorithms: A Comparative Study [PDF]
Medical imaging has been employed to support medical diagnosis and treatment. It may also provide crucial information to surgeons to facilitate optimal surgical preplanning and perioperative management. Essentially, semi-automatic organ and tumor segmentation has been studied by many researchers.

A Discrete Event Simulation Model for Coordinating Inventory Management and Material Handling in Hospitals [PDF]
For operating rooms (ORs) and hospitals, inventory management of surgical instruments and material handling decisions of perioperative services are critical to hospitals' service levels and costs. However, efficiently integrating these decisions is challenging due to hospitals' interdependence and the uncertainties they face. These challenges motivated

Deep Learning Approach for Predicting 30 Day Readmissions after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery [PDF]
Hospital Readmissions within 30 days after discharge following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery are substantial contributors to healthcare costs. Many predictive models were developed to identify risk factors for readmissions. However, majority of the existing models use statistical analysis techniques with data available at discharge.
