Recent Breakthroughs in PET-CT Multimodality Imaging: Innovations and Clinical Impact.

This review presents a detailed examination of the most recent advancements in positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) multimodal imaging over the past five years. The fusion of PET and CT technologies has revolutionized medical imaging, offering unprecedented insights into both anatomical structure and functional processes. The analysis delves into key technological innovations, including advancements in image reconstruction, data-driven gating, and time-of-flight capabilities, highlighting their impact on enhancing diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes.

Ascorbic acid-immobilized zinc selenide for electrochemical monitoring of hydrogen peroxide in liver cancer samples.

Liver cancer is globally the most frequent fatal malignancy, and its identification is critical for making clinical decisions about treatment options. Pathological diagnostics and contemporary imaging technologies provide insufficient information for tumor identification. Hydrogen peroxide (HO), an emerging biomarker is a powerful oxidant found in the tumor microenvironment, and stimulates the invasion, proliferation, and metastasis of liver cancer cells.

A Unified Multi-Task Learning Model with Joint Reverse Optimization for Simultaneous Skin Lesion Segmentation and Diagnosis.

Classifying and segmenting skin cancer represent pivotal objectives for automated diagnostic systems that utilize dermoscopy images. However, these tasks present significant challenges due to the diverse shape variations of skin lesions and the inherently fuzzy nature of dermoscopy images, including low contrast and the presence of artifacts. Given the robust correlation between the classification of skin lesions and their segmentation, we propose that employing a combined learning method holds the promise of considerably enhancing the performance of both tasks.
