Recent immunotherapeutic approaches have evolved as powerful treatment options with high anti-tumour responses involving the patient’s own immune system. Passive immunotherapy applies agents that enhance existing anti-tumour responses, such as antibodies against immune checkpoints. Active immunotherapy uses agents that direct the immune system to attack tumour cells by targeting tumour antigens. A...... hiện toàn bộ
Whole-body x-ray dark-field radiography of a human cadaverSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-9 - 2021

Grating-based x-ray dark-field and phase-contrast imaging allow extracting information about refraction and small-angle scatter, beyond conventional attenuation. A step towards clinical translation has recently been achieved, allowing further investigation on humans. After the ethics committee approval, we scanned the full body of a human cadaver in anterior-posterior orientation. Six measurements...... hiện toàn bộ
Photon-counting detector CT-based virtual monoenergetic reconstructions: repeatability and reproducibility of radiomics features of an organic phantom and human myocardiumSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-11 - 2023

Photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) may influence imaging characteristics for various clinical conditions due to higher signal and contrast-to-noise ratio in virtual monoenergetic images (VMI). Radiomics analysis relies on quantification of image characteristics. We evaluated the impact of different VMI reconstructions on radiomic features in in vitro and in vivo PCD-CT datasets....... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of CT imaging on the accuracy of the finite element modelling in boneSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2020
Emir Benca, Morteza Amini, Dieter H. Pahr
AbstractThe finite element (FE) analysis is a highly promising tool to simulate the behaviour of bone. Skeletal FE models in clinical routine rely on the information about the geometry and bone mineral density distribution from quantitative computed tomography (CT) imaging systems. Several parameters in CT imaging have been reported to affect the accuracy of FE mod...... hiện toàn bộ
Improved precision of noise estimation in CT with a volume-based approachSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-7 - 2021

Assessment of image noise is a relevant issue in computed tomography (CT). Noise is routinely measured by the standard deviation of density values (Hounsfield units, HU) within a circular region of interest (ROI). We explored the effect of a spherical volume of interest (VOI) on noise measurements. Forty-nine chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients underwent CT with clinical protocol (regul...... hiện toàn bộ
Multiparametric prostate MRI quality assessment using a semi-automated PI-QUAL software programSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2021
Francesco Giganti, Sydney Lindner, Jonathan W. Piper, Veeru Kasivisvanathan, Mark Emberton, Caroline M. Moore, Clare Allen
The technical requirements for the acquisition of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate have been clearly outlined in the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) guidelines, but there is still huge variability in image quality among centres across the world. It has been difficult to quantify what constitutes a good-quality image, and a first attempt to add...... hiện toàn bộ
Multiparametric quantitative and texture 18F-FDG PET/CT analysis for primary malignant tumour grade differentiationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-8 - 2019
Mykola Novikov
18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a successfully used imaging modality in oncology. The aim of the study was to investigate a connection of epithelial tumour differentiation grade with both semiquantitative and quantitative metabolic PET data focusing on creation of multiparametric model of tumour grade prediction utilising both standardised uptake value-based an...... hiện toàn bộ
Shallow and deep learning classifiers in medical image analysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2024
Francesco Prinzi, Tiziana Currieri, Salvatore Gaglio, Salvatore Vitabile
An increasingly strong connection between artificial intelligence and medicine has enabled the development of predictive models capable of supporting physicians’ decision-making. Artificial intelligence encompasses much more than machine learning, which nevertheless is its most cited and used sub-branch in the last decade. Since most clinical problems can be modeled through machine learning classi...... hiện toàn bộ
Concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters of MRI and SPECT hepatobiliary agents in rat liver compartmentsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-10 - 2021
Catherine M. Pastor, Florian Joly, Valérie Vilgrain, Philippe Millet
In hepatobiliary imaging, systems detect the total amount of agents originating from extracellular space, bile canaliculi, and hepatocytes. They add in situ concentration of each compartment corrected by its respective volume ratio to provide liver concentrations. In vivo contribution of each compartment to liver concentration is inaccessible. Our aim was to quantify the compartmental distribution...... hiện toàn bộ
