Performance changes due to differences among annotating radiologists for training data in computerized lesion detection
ConclusionsAlthough the performance of the CAD software after retraining varied among the annotating radiologists, no direct correlation with their experience was found. The performance trends differed according to the type of CAD software used when integrated annotations from multiple radiologists were used.

The development and testing of a smart sensorized guide wire for catheterization in a “blood” vessel phantom to support aortic valve implementation
ConclusionsThe results show that the sensorized guide wire developed for catheterization can support aortic valve implementation. The sensor sensitivity is sufficient to detect even very small variations within the blood vessel and therefore is promising to support catheterization heart valve surgeries in future.

Flow diverters treatment planning of small- and medium-sized intracranial saccular aneurysms on the internal carotid artery via constraint-based virtual deployment
ConclusionIn the typical location of small- and medium-sized saccular aneurysms, namely the ICA, our virtual FDs deployment simulation effectively balances the computational accuracy and efficiency. Combined with hemodynamics analysis, our method can accurately represent the blood flow changes within the lesion region to assist surgeons in clinical decision-making.
