Deep learning-based overall survival prediction model in patients with rare cancer: a case study for primary central nervous system lymphoma
ConclusionsAll these findings indicate that T1Gd can improve prognosis predictions of patients with PCNSL. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to use DL to explain model patterns in OS classification of patients with PCNSL. Future work would involve collecting more data of patients with PCNSL, or additional retrospective studies on different patient populations with rare diseases, to further promote the clinical role of our model.

Robotic versus freehand CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary metastases: a comparative cohort study
ConclusionsRobotic radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary metastases with general anesthesia and high frequency jet ventilation is feasible and safe. Targeting accuracy is high, and fewer needle/electrode manipulations are required to achieve a satisfactory position for ablation than freehand placement, with early indications of reduced complications.

3-D and 2-D reconstruction of bladders for the assessment of inter-session detection of tissue changes: a proof of concept
ConclusionThe proposed proof of concept was able to perform 3-D and 2-D reconstruction of an in vivo bladder wall based on a set of monocular images. In a phantom study the computer vision algorithms were also effective in co-registering reconstructions of successive sessions and highlighting texture changes between sessions. These techniques may be useful for detecting, monitoring and revisiting suspicious lesions. (Source: International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery)

Comparison of 2D and autostereoscopic 3D visualization during mixed reality simulation
ConclusionOverall, autostereoscopic 3D showed superiority over conventional 2D visualization. The traveled trajectory increased in 2D as the instrument was retracted more between the targets to avoid contact. The 2D and 3D deformation upon contact seems not to contribute differently to force perception. However, the participants only had visual feedback, but no haptic feedback. Therefore, it could be interesting to include haptic feedback in a future study. (Source: International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery)

Development and assessment of novel assist device for cardiac cannulation
ConclusionsThis project successfully demonstrated how a rapid cannulation assistance device could be developed and tested. Future studies will be conducted that address device adhesion to the cardiovascular tissue so that accurate pressure and flow rates can be measured. Future studies will also include testing the device in a fluid environment to more effectively analyze the device success and comparing the time required to cannulate using our device compared to the standard of care.
