Article Abstract

Purpose: To train generative adversarial network (GAN) models to generate predictive optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) at 3 months after observation using multi-modal OCT images.

Methods: Four hundred forty CSC eyes of 440 patients who underwent Cirrus OCT imaging were included. Baseline OCT B-scan images through the foveal center, en face choroid, and en face ellipsoid zone were collected from each patient. The datasets were divided into training and validation (n = 390) and test (n = 50) sets. The input images for each model comprised either baseline B-scan alone or a combination of en face choroid and ellipsoid zones. Predictive post-treatment OCT B-scan images were generated using GAN models and compared with real 3-month images.

Results: Of 50 generated OCT images, there were 48, 47, and 48 acceptable images for UNIT, CycleGAN, and RegGAN, respectively. In comparison with real 3-month images, the generated images showed sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values (PPV) for residual fluid in the ranges of 0.762-1.000, 0.483-0.724, and 0.583-0.704; for pigment epithelial detachment (PED) of 0.917-1.000, 0.974-1.000, and 0.917-1.000; and for subretinal hyperreflective material (SHRM) of 0.667-0.778, 0.925-0.950 and 0.700-0.750, respectively. RegGAN exhibited the highest values except for sensitivity.

Conclusions: GAN models could generate prognostic OCT images with good performance for prediction of residual fluid, PED, and SHRM presence in CSC. Implementation of the models may help predict disease activity in CSC, facilitating the establishment of a proper treatment plan.

Introduction: Effective triage in the emergency department (ED) is essential for optimizing resource allocation, improving efficiency, and enhancing patient outcomes. Conventional systems rely heavily on clinical judgment and standardized guidelines, which may be insufficient under growing patient volumes and increasingly complex presentations.

Methods: We developed a machine learning triage model, MIGWO-XGBOOST, which incorporates a Multi-strategy Improved Gray Wolf Optimization (MIGWO) algorithm for parameter tuning.

Introduction: Brain tumor classification remains one of the most challenging tasks in medical image analysis, with diagnostic errors potentially leading to severe consequences. Existing methods often fail to fully exploit all relevant features, focusing on a limited set of deep features that may miss the complexity of the task.

Methods: In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning model combining a Swin Transformer and AE-cGAN augmentation to overcome challenges such as data imbalance and feature extraction.
