Article Synopsis
  • Researchers have developed a Physics Informed Neural Network (Myo-DINO) to improve Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mMRI) by efficiently mapping MR parameters like Fat Fraction and water-T in patients with Neuromuscular Disorders (NMDs).
  • The study utilized a dataset of 2165 images from Multi-Echo Spin Echo (MESE) scans, where ground truth maps were derived using the MyoQMRI toolbox based on signal evolution theories.
  • The Myo-DINO model incorporated unique physics-based loss functions to enhance accuracy, adjusting hyperparameters to balance the influence of physics and standard loss functions during training.

Background: Root canal irrigation endodontic solutions have effects on the chemistry of dentin. Infrared spectroscopy is a non-destructive chemical characterization method where the strength of absorption often correlates with mineral or organic composition.

Objectives: To survey effects of commonly used irrigation solutions on the composition of root dentin as detected by widely-available Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) methods.

Background: The integration of the information encoded in multiparametric MRI images can enhance the performance of machine-learning classifiers. In this study, we investigate whether the combination of structural and functional MRI might improve the performances of a deep learning (DL) model trained to discriminate subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with respect to typically developing controls (TD).

Material And Methods: We analyzed both structural and functional MRI brain scans publicly available within the ABIDE I and II data collections.
