G. Myriam Hunink, MD, PhD JAMA Abstract Context Current use of cranial computed tomography (CT) for minor head injury is increasing rapidly, highly variable, and inefficient. The Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR) and New Orleans Criteria (NOC) are previously developed clinical decision rules to ...

1) To verify clinical signs correlated with appropriate cranial computed tomography scan indications and changes in the therapeutic approach in pediatric minor head trauma scenarios. 2) To estimate the radiation exposure of computed tomography scans with low dose protocols in the context of trauma and...
also come with risks of information overload for clinicians tasked with interpreting these complex scans. Traditionally, results have been derived through either visual assessment or labour-intensive manual segmentation, approaches that are increasingly inadequate given the breadth and volume of data provide...
IMAGING: CT scans have added to the repertoire of clinicians in the assessment of pediatric head injury population, but judicious use is required given radiation exposure, malignancy risk, and resource constraints. Guidelines and head injury rules have been developed, for adults and children, to ...
The aim of this study was to use dual energy CT technology to maintain or improve image quality in pediatric head CT while simultaneously reducing radiation dose. In this retrospective study, helical head CTs performed using a standard head CT protocol were compared to studies performed with a ...
use of head CT scans in children. Key drivers of CT use were identified and decision aids were implemented to improve the use of prediction rules. Maintenance of Certification credit and QI coaching were offered to hospitals. The effect of the intervention on monthly CT scan rates was assessed...

The problem of heterogeneity in data is tackled head-on by the method of data normalization. In addition, COVID-19 patients are recognized by the use of CapsNet with IELMs-based segmentation and classification, as well as a method for collaboratively training a global model through the ...
