End-to-end deep learning approach for uterine artery-ovarian artery anastomosis detection from digital subtraction angiography sequences.
doi:10.1002/mp.70083 ·PMID:41134565

BackgroundUterine artery embolization (UAE) is a vital treatment modality for various gynecological conditions. However, complications may arise from the accidental migration of embolic agents into non-target tissues through the uterine art…

A tissue preparation to characterize uterine fibroid tissue properties for thermal therapies.
doi:10.1002/mp.13639 ·PMID:31152601

PurposeTreating uterine fibroids with less invasive therapies such as magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is an attractive alternative to surgery. Treatment planning can improve MRgFUS procedures and reduce treatment times…
