We report sub-100 nm optical/magnetic resonance (MR)/X-ray contrast-bearing theranostic nanoparticles (TNPs) for interventional image-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) of solid tumors. TNPs were composed Au@Gd2O3:Ln (Ln = Yb/Er) with X-ray contrast (∼486 HU; 1014 NPs/mL, 0.167 nM) and MR (∼1.1 × 108 mM-1 S-1 at 9.4 T field strength). Although are deposited in tumors following systemic administration via enhanced permeation retention effect, the delivered dose to is typically low; this can...
The increasing use of machine learning (ML) algorithms in clinical settings raises concerns about bias ML models. Bias can arise at any step creation, including data handling, model development, and performance evaluation. Potential biases the be minimized by implementing these steps correctly. This report focuses on evaluation discusses fitness, as well a set toolboxes: namely, metrics, interpretation maps, uncertainty quantification. By discussing strengths limitations each toolbox, our...
There are increasing concerns about the bias and fairness of artificial intelligence (AI) models as they put into clinical practice. Among steps for implementing machine learning tools workflow, model development is an important stage where different types biases can occur. This report focuses on four aspects such may arise: data augmentation, loss function, optimizers, transfer learning. emphasizes appropriate considerations practices that mitigate in radiology AI studies.
Quantitative fluorescence spectroscopic Mueller matrix measurements from the connective tissue regions of human cervical reveal intriguing diattenuation and polarizance effects. Interestingly, estimated linear parameters were considerably reduced in precancerous tissues as compared to normal ones. These polarimetry effects autofluorescence found originate anisotropically organized collagen molecular structures present tissues. Consequently, reduction magnitude these polarimetric at higher...
Abstract Purpose Total kidney volume (TKV) is the most important imaging biomarker for quantifying severity of autosomal-dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD). 3D ultrasound (US) can accurately measure compared to 2D US; however, manual segmentation tedious and requires expert annotators. We investigated a deep learning-based approach automated TKV from US in ADPKD patients. Method used axially acquired US-kidney images 22 patients where each patient were scanned three times, resulting 132...
Multiresolution analysis on the spatial refractive index inhomogeneities in epithelium and connective tissue regions of a human cervix reveals clear signature multifractality. Importantly, derived multifractal parameters, namely, generalized Hurst exponent width singularity spectrum, via detrended fluctuation analysis, shows interesting differences between tissues having different grades precancers. The refractive-index fluctuations are found to be more anticorrelated, strength...
