Elicitation is the process of extracting expert knowledge about some unknown quantity or
quantities, and formulating that information as a probability distribution. Elicitation is …

Background Several diagnostic strategies using ultrasound imaging, measurement of D-
dimer, and assessment of clinical probability of disease have proved safe in patients with …

“We live in an uncertain world, and probability risk assessment deals as directly with that fact
as anything we do. Uncertainty arises partly because we are fallible. Mostly, however …

Although ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) lung scintigraphy is a well-accepted and frequently
performed procedure in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, there is growing controversy …

Background A high frequency of asymptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) has been reported
in patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in studies of a limited number of patients …

The purpose of this study was to investigate an information theoretic approach to feature
selection for computer‐aided diagnosis (CAD). The approach is based on the mutual …

Planar pulmonary scintigraphy is still regularly performed for the evaluation of pulmonary
embolism (PE). However, only about 50-80% of cases can be resolved by this approach …

Lung scintigraphy is the primary tool for diagnostics of pulmonary embolism. A perfusion
study is often complemented by a ventilation study. Intermediate probability scans are …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of the revised PIOPED (Prospective Investigation of
Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis) criteria for categorization of ventilation-perfusion lung …

Planar lung scintigraphy is a standard method used for the diagnosis of lung embolism, but it
is hampered by the high incidence of nondiagnostic tests. Ventilation/perfusion SPECT may …
