To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment for benign thyroid nodules (BTNs) in five medical centers Taiwan. From April 2016 to July 2020, 762 patients underwent ultrasound guided RFA 826 at The procedure was performed by radiologists, otolaryngologists, or surgeons. Patients were grouped into three subgroups according initial volume BTNs. reduction ratio (VRR) each nodule, complications analyzed 1, 3, 6 months after groups compared. large nodular...
Control chart patterns (CCPs) have been widely utilized for machining process control, the effective recognition of abnormal CCPs can significantly narrow set possible assignable causes with shortening diagnostic to improve intelligence quality monitoring. This paper proposes a method control classification based on improved supervised locally linear embedding (SLLE) and support vector machine (SVM). The present work extracts 12 dimensional statistical feature shape chart, reduces...
Extranodal extension (ENE) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) correlates to poor prognoses influences treatment strategies. Deep learning may yield promising performance of predicting ENE HNSCC but lack transparency interpretability. This work proposes an evolutionary method, called EL-ENE, establish a more interpretable prediction model for aiding clinical diagnosis.There were 364 patients who underwent lymph node (LN) dissection with pre-operative contrast-enhanced...
Background: Sarcopenia is critically associated with morbidity and mortality in the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, analyses clinical severity brain changes, such as white matter (WM) alterations PD patients sarcopenia are limited. Further understanding factors may provide a focused screen potential for early intervention patients. Methods: 52 19 healthy participants accepted dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure body composition. Using diffusion tensor imaging,...
Introduction Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is recognized as an effective technique for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules (BTNs), although long-term results are limited. This study aimed to evaluate residual vital volume increase, regrowth, and new growth over a 2-year period after RFA among different nodule groups.Subjects Methods retrospective evaluated 135 patients with 153 BTNs who underwent ultrasound guided RFA. The were categorized into small (<10 mL), medium (10–30 large (>30...
Sound source localization is an important function in robot audition. The existing works perform sound using static microphone arrays. This work proposes a framework that simultaneously localizes the mobile and multiple sources array on robot. First, eigenstructure-based generalized cross correlation method for estimating time delays between microphones under multi-source environments described. A to compute far field directions as well speed of estimated proposed. In addition, correctness...
Introduction This study aimed to investigate and compare the therapeutic efficacy safety of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA), between primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) secondary (SHPT) patients, with or without previous parathyroidectomy (PTX).Subjects Methods A total 21 patients (7 PHPT, 14 SHPT) underwent RFA for (HPT) at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan. Five SHPT had previously received PTX. The laboratory data, volume change each parathyroid nodule,...
(1) Background: The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) is a standardized scoring tool used to evaluate the severity of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) on non-contrast (NCCT). Our aim in this study was automate ASPECTS. (2) Methods: We utilized total 258 patient images with suspected AIS symptoms. Expert ASPECTS readings NCCT were as ground truths. A deep learning-based automatic detection (DLAD) algorithm developed for automated based 168 training using convolutional neural network...
Sound source localization is an important feature in robot audition. This work proposes eigenstructure-based generalized cross correlation method for estimating time delay between microphones. From experiments, it shows that this more robust as compared with conventional GCC using PHAT weighting. By knowing the delays among microphones, both sound location and speed can be estimated array. Further, correctness of estimation utilized to determine locations multiple sources. derives detail...
Sound source localization is an important feature in robot audition. This work proposes a sound number and directions estimation method by using the delay information of microphone array. An eigenstructure-based generalized cross correlation proposed to estimate time between microphones. Upon obtaining information, direction velocity can be estimated least square method. In multiple case, combination among microphones arranged such that speed value falls within acceptable range. By...
Preoperative localization in patients with primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism before radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is crucial. There currently a lack of consensus regarding imaging protocol. Evaluating the diagnostic performance ultrasound, four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT), and technetium 99m-sestamibi single-photon-emission-computed tomography/computed (SPECT/CT) necessary for RFA hyperparathyroidism.This retrospective study recruited who underwent 4D-CT, SPECT/CT at...
Human detection and tracking is important for user-friendly human-robot interaction. The robot should be able to find the user autonomously keep its attention in a human-like manner. In this paper, design experimental study of robust human presented through fusion several modalities sensory information. multi-modal interaction utilizes combination visual, audio, laser scanner data reliable an interested user. During motion, obstacle avoidance behavior will activated any time required ensure...
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for benign thyroid nodules in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients (11 female, 1 male; mean age 15.54 ± 2.8 years, range 10-19 years) with (mean longest diameter 4.1 1.4 cm, 1.5-5.9 cm) treated by RFA from 2017 to 2020 were evaluated. The inclusion criteria therapy (i) < 20 years; (ii) cytological confirmation 2 separate ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or core needle...

Abstract Objective We aimed to develop a deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm detect impacted animal bones on lateral neck radiographs and assess its effectiveness for improving the interpretation of radiographs. Methods Lateral were retrospectively collected patients with bone impaction between January 2010 March 2020. Radiographs then separated into training, validation, testing sets. A total 1733 used algorithm. The set was assessed stand-alone AI human readers...
This study aimed to investigate potentially favorable factors influencing the therapeutic success of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) huge benign thyroid nodules (BTNs) (volume >100 ml) and evaluate feasibility RFA as an alternative treatment modality for patients unable or unwilling undergo surgery.This retrospective evaluated a total 868 patients, which 22 had BTNs who underwent ultrasound-guided moving shot between May 2017 January 2022.
