The Need for Postoperative Chest X‐Ray After Placement of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is a surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients intolerant to CPAP. Current practice often involves chest x‐ray (CXR) in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), though the incidence of pulmonary complications is low.

Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background The clinical realization of markerless dynamic tumor tracking (MLDTT) has prompted a new paradigm shift to intrafraction imaging‐based quality assurance (QA). During MLDTT treatment using a gimbaled accelerator, the megavoltage (MV) imager serves as an independent system to leverage real‐time intrafraction monitoring.

Deep Learning for Pneumothorax Detection and Localization in Chest Radiographs [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Pneumothorax is a critical condition that requires timely communication and immediate action. In order to prevent significant morbidity or patient death, early detection is crucial. For the task of pneumothorax detection, we study the characteristics of three different deep learning techniques: (i) convolutional neural networks, (ii) multiple-instance ...

Smart Chest X-ray Worklist Prioritization using Artificial Intelligence: A Clinical Workflow Simulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The aim is to evaluate whether smart worklist prioritization by artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the radiology workflow and reduce report turnaround times (RTAT) for critical findings in chest radiographs (CXRs). Furthermore, we investigate a method to counteract the effect of false negative predictions by AI -- resulting in an extremely and ...
