Target volumes for radiotherapy are usually contoured manually, which can be time-consuming and prone to inter- and intra-observer variability. Automatic contouring by convolutional neural networks (CNN) can be fast and consistent but may produce unrealistic contours or miss relevant structures. We evaluate approaches for increasing the quality and assessing the uncertainty of CNN-generated contours of head and neck cancers with PET/CT as input.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares conventional radiomics and deep learning radiomics in predicting overall and disease-free survival for patients with head and neck cancer using PET/CT images.
  • CNNs, or deep learning models, directly analyzing images showed superior performance compared to conventional methods that rely on pre-defined regions of interest.
  • Incorporating both traditional radiomics and clinical data with these image-based models enhanced prediction accuracy, demonstrating the potential of combining these approaches for better cancer treatment outcomes.

The current study investigated if physical loads peak on game days and if Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation (BEMER) therapy is affecting sleep duration and sleep quality on nights related to game nights among elite players in Norwegian women's elite football. The sample included 21 female football players from an elite top series club with a mean age of ~24 years (± 2.8).

Crude oils are among the world's most complex organic mixtures containing a large number of unique components and many analytical techniques lack resolving power to characterize. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry offers a high mass accuracy, making a detailed analysis of crude oils possible. Infrared (IR) spectroscopic methods such as Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FT-IR) and near-IR, can also be used for crude oil characterization.
