Convolutional-neural-network-based diagnosis of appendicitis via CT scans in patients with acute abdominal pain presenting in the emergency department.
TL;DR: The CNN-based diagnosis algorithm may be feasible in diagnosing acute appendicitis using the CT data of patients visiting the ER with acute abdominal pain, and diagnostic performance was excellent in both the internal and external validation.

Abstract: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of abdominal emergencies. We investigated the feasibility of a neural-network-based diagnosis algorithm of appendicitis by using computed tomography (CT) for patients with acute abdominal pain visiting the emergency room (ER). A neural-network-based diagnostic algorithm of appendicitis was developed and validated using CT data from three institutions who visited the ER with abdominal pain and underwent abdominopelvic CT. For input data, 3D isotropic cubes including the appendix were manually extracted and labeled as appendicitis or a normal appendix. A 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained to binary classification on the input. For model development and testing, 8-fold cross validation was conducted for internal validation and an ensemble model was used for external validation. Diagnostic performance was excellent in both the internal and external validation with an accuracy larger than 90%. The CNN-based diagnosis algorithm may be feasible in diagnosing acute appendicitis using the CT data of patients visiting the ER with acute abdominal pain.

Variation in Anatomical Position of Vermiform Appendix
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identified the anatomical sites of the appendix, the length of the appendectomy, and examined the associations between these factors and age and sex, and found that the appendix tends to become longer with age.

Deep learning
TL;DR: Deep learning is making major advances in solving problems that have resisted the best attempts of the artificial intelligence community for many years, and will have many more successes in the near future because it requires very little engineering by hand and can easily take advantage of increases in the amount of available computation and data.
