Mashup Score: 0Large Language Models Are Poor Medical Coders — Benchmarking of Medical Code Querying - 1 day(s) ago
Large language models (LLMs) have attracted significant interest for automated clinical coding. However, early data show that LLMs are highly error-prone when mapping medical codes. We sought to qu…

Mashup Score: 3Modeling Robotic-Assisted Mechanical Thrombectomy Procedures with the CorPath GRX Robot: The Core-Flow Study - 2 day(s) ago
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endovascular robotic devices may enable experienced neurointerventionalists to remotely perform endovascular thrombectomy. This study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of robot-assisted endovascular thrombectomy compared with manual procedures by operators with varying levels of experience, using a 3D printed neurovascular model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: M1 MCA occlusions were simulated in a 3D printed neurovascular model, linked to a CorPath GRX robot in a biplane angiography suite. Four interventionalists performed manual endovascular thrombectomy ( n = 45) and robot-assisted endovascular thrombectomy ( n = 37) procedures. The outcomes included first-pass recanalization (TICI 2c–3), the number and size of generated distal emboli, and procedural length. RESULTS: A total of 82 experimental endovascular thrombectomies were conducted. A nonsignificant trend favoring the robot-assisted endovascular thrombectomy was observed in terms of final rec

Mashup Score: 4
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Successful post-flow-diverter endoluminal reconstruction is widely believed to require endothelial overgrowth of the aneurysmal inflow zone. However, endothelialization/neointimal overgrowth is a complex process, over which we currently have very limited influence. Less emphasized is vascular remodeling of the target arterial segment, the dynamic response of the vessel to flow-diverter implantation. This process is distinct from flow modifications in covered branches. It appears that basic angiographic methods allow simple and useful observations. The purpose of this article was to quantitatively evaluate observable postimplantation changes in target vessels following deployment of Pipeline endoluminal constructs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred consecutive adults with unruptured, previously untreated, nondissecting aneurysms treated with the Pipeline Embolization Device with Shield Technology and the availability of follow-up conventional angiography were st

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) models in radiology are frequently developed and validated using datasets from a single institution and are rarely tested on independent, external datasets, raising questions about their generalizability and applicability in clinical practice. The American Society of Functional Neuroradiology (ASFNR) organized a multi-center AI competition to evaluate the proficiency of developed models in identifying various pathologies on NCCT, assessing age-based normality and estimating medical urgency. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 1201 anonymized, full-head NCCT clinical scans from five institutions were pooled to form the dataset. The dataset encompassed normal studies as well as pathologies including acute ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and mass effect (detection of these-task 1). NCCTs were also assessed to determine if findings were consistent with expected brain changes for the patient’s age (task 2: a
