Abstract In the era of post-COVID19, access for non-essential personnel to shadow physicians in hospitals has become increasingly difficult; combined with rapidly increasing biomedical engineering class sizes across country, opportunities undergraduate students experience critically formative clinical immersion is scarce if not impossible. order remain competitive medical device landscape, must be adequately trained identify and unpack needs through observation experience. However, this task...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to substantial disruptions in healthcare staffing and operations. Stay-at-home (SAH) orders limitations social gathering implemented spring 2020 were followed by initial decreases imaging utilization. This study aims evaluate the impact of subsequent easing SAH on trauma volumes, demand for, turnaround times for computed tomography (CT) exams, hypothesizing that after decreases, volumes have increased as COVID safety measures been...
Hepatosplenomegaly is commonly diagnosed by radiologists based on single dimension measurements and heuristic cut-offs. Volumetric may be more accurate for diagnosing organ enlargement. Artificial intelligence techniques able to automatically calculate liver spleen volume facilitate diagnosis. After IRB approval, 2 convolutional neural networks (CNN) were developed segment the a training dataset comprised of 500 single-phase, contrast-enhanced CT abdomen pelvis examinations. A separate ten...
e16548 Background: Early characterization of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is pertinent for cancer prognosis and patient treatment. However, masses as benign or malignant on computed tomography (CT) remains a difficult clinical challenge. Angiogenesis plays major role in RCC progression assessing neovascularity tumor-burdened kidneys with Re-VASC scoring has been shown to aptly predict tumor pathology staging. In the current study, we evaluated if can reliably differentiate between T1a ( <...
Purpose: Early characterization of small (T1a, <4 cm) renal masses is imperative for patient care and treatment planning. Renal biopsy a sensitive specific procedure that can accurately differentiate as malignant or benign. However, it an invasive with nonnegligible complication rate not performed routinely at most institutions. In this study, we sought to apply the Retroperitoneal Vascularity Assessment Scoring in Carcinoma (Re-VASC) scoring system T1a analyzed whether could these benign...
Abstract Background Patients diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer are usually not eligible for surgical resection because of significant vascular involvement. Stereotactic body radiation therapy and chemotherapy the treatments recommended by National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria. For patients who do respond to or tolerate stereotactic and/or chemotherapy, a new option is irreversible electroporation. Irreversible electroporation nonthermal minimally invasive ablation...
