Article Synopsis
- The alignment of tissue in whole-slide images (WSI) is essential for both research and clinical purposes, and recent advancements in computing and deep learning have changed how these images are analyzed.
- The ACROBAT challenge was organized to evaluate various WSI registration algorithms using a large dataset of 4,212 WSIs from breast cancer patients, aiming to align tissue stained with different methods.
- The study found that various WSI registration methods can achieve high accuracy and identified specific clinical factors that affect their performance, helping researchers choose and improve their analysis techniques.
Importance: The people of Hawai'i have both high rates of health insurance and high levels of racial and ethnic diversity, but the degree to which insurance status and race and ethnicity contribute to health outcomes in COVID-19 remains unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the associations of insurance coverage, race and ethnicity (using disaggregated race and ethnicity data), and vaccination with outcomes for COVID-19 hospitalization.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included hospitalized patients at a tertiary care medical center between March 2020 and March 2022.
Significance: Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) has great potential in monitoring disease progression and treatment response in breast cancer. However, due to variations in breast repositioning, there is a chance of geometric misalignment between images. Further, poor repositioning can affect light fluence distribution and imaging field-of-view, making images different from one another.

In Indonesia, however, the correlation between students' health and academic achievement is rarely examined. This study aimed to evaluate primary school students' health status and its relation to their academic achievement.

Patients with a suspicious lesion, visiting the center for breast care of a local hospital, were included in the study. The acquired photoacoustic images were compared to conventional clinical images.
