Article Abstract

We propose a random forest classifier for identifying adequacy of liver MR images using handcrafted (HC) features and deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and analyze the relative role of these two components in relation to the training sample size. The HC features, specifically developed for this application, include Gaussian mixture models, Euler characteristic curves and texture analysis. Using HC features outperforms the CNN for smaller sample sizes and with increased interpretability. On the other hand, with enough training data, the combined classifier outperforms the models trained with HC features or CNN features alone. These results illustrate the added value of HC features with respect to CNNs, especially when insufficient data is available, as is often found in clinical studies.

Introduction: Accurate and timely diagnosis of central nervous system infections (CNSIs) is critical, yet current gold-standard techniques like lumbar puncture (LP) remain invasive and prone to delay. This study proposes a novel noninvasive framework integrating handcrafted radiomic features and deep learning (DL) to identify cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) alterations on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with acute CNSI.

Methods: Fifty-two patients diagnosed with acute CNSI who underwent LP and brain MRI within 48 h of hospital admission were retrospectively analyzed alongside 52 control subjects with normal neurological findings.

Background: Gender medicine is an evolving discipline that examines how diseases manifest and progress differently in men and women. Tailoring medical therapies and diagnostic approaches can enhance patient outcomes. While radiomics is emerging as a promising tool in personalized medicine, few studies evaluate its role in gender medicine within radiology.

In this study, a novel methodology is proposed, combining Reconstructed Phase Space (RPS) analysis with an optimized Delay State Network (DSN) to enhance the detection and classification of cardiac arrhythmias. Traditional methods often fail to capture subtle temporal phase drifts indicative of arrhythmias or require extensive computational resources and handcrafted features, limiting their effectiveness for early diagnosis and real-time applicability. The proposed approach reconstructs the nonlinear dynamics of cardiac signals and leverages the entire Phase Space Structure (PSS) as direct input to the DSN.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe form of stroke with high mortality and disability, where early hematoma expansion (HE) critically influences prognosis. Previous studies suggest that revised hematoma expansion (rHE), defined to include intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) growth, provides improved prognostic accuracy. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a deep learning model based on noncontrast CT (NCCT) to predict high-risk rHE in ICH patients, enabling timely intervention.
