Objective: To develop and evaluate a deep learning (DL)-assisted system for proptosis measurement using facial photographs in thyroid eye disease (TED).
Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Participants: This study included 1108 patients with TED from Severance Hospital (SH) and 171 from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH).
Methods: The DL-assisted system was trained using 1610 facial images paired with Hertel exophthalmometry measurements from SH and externally validated using 511 SNUBH images. The system employs a dual-stream ResNet-18 neural network, utilizing both red-green-blue images and depth maps generated by the ZoeDepth algorithm.
Main Outcome Measures: Accuracy was assessed using mean absolute error (MAE), Pearson correlation coefficient, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic curve.
Results: The DL-assisted system achieved an MAE of 1.27 mm for the SH dataset and 1.24 mm for the SNUBH dataset. Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.82 and 0.77, respectively, with ICCs indicating strong reliability (0.80 for SH and 0.73 for SNUBH). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed area under the curves of 0.91 for SH and 0.88 for SNUBH in detecting proptosis. The system detected significant proptosis changes (≥ 2 mm) with 74.6% accuracy.
Conclusions: The DL-assisted system offers an accurate, accessible method for exophthalmometry in patients with TED using facial photographs. This tool presents a promising alternative to traditional exophthalmometry, potentially improving access to reliable proptosis measurement in both clinical and nonspecialist settings.

Deep learning (DL) has significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency of cytopathologists. However, current DL-assisted reading modes have yet to be fully evaluated, and there is limited evidence regarding cytopathologists' preferences and experiences. This study employs a randomized, controlled, four-way crossover design to assess the effectiveness of four different reading modes in cervical cytopathology readings.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a deep learning (DL)-based computer-aided detection (CAD) system for the detection of abnormalities on chest X-rays performed in an emergency department setting, where readers have access to relevant clinical information.
Materials And Methods: Four hundred and four consecutive chest X-rays performed over a two-month period in patients presenting to an emergency department with respiratory symptoms were retrospectively collected. Five readers (two radiologists, three emergency physicians) with access to clinical information were asked to identify five abnormalities (i.

Research on deep learning (DL)-based channel estimation for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems has attracted considerable interest in recent years. In this paper, we propose a DL-assisted channel estimation algorithm that transforms the original channel estimation problem into an image denoising problem, contrasting it with traditional experience-based channel estimation methods. We establish a new polarized self-attention-aided channel estimation neural network (PACE-Net) to achieve efficient channel estimation.

In composite structures, the precise identification and localization of damage is necessary to preserve structural integrity in applications across such fields as aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering. This study presents a deep learning (DL)-assisted framework for simultaneous damage localization and severity assessment in composite structures using Lamb waves (LWs). Previous studies have often focused on either damage detection or localization in composite structures.
