Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging encounters the obstacle of partial volume effects, arising from its limited intrinsic resolution, giving rise to (I) considerable bias, particularly for structures comparable in size to the point spread function (PSF) of the system; and (II) blurred image edges and blending of textures along the borders. We set out to build a deep learning-based framework for predicting partial volume corrected full-dose (FD + PVC) images from either standard or low-dose (LD) PET images without requiring any anatomical data in order to provide a joint solution for partial volume correction and de-noise LD PET images.
Methods: We trained a modified encoder-decoder U-Net network with standard of care or LD PET images as the input and FD + PVC images by six different PVC methods as the target.
Article Synopsis
- Hirsutism, often caused by PCOS, leads to mental health issues like stress and depression in women, and Laser-assisted hair removal (LAHR) is considered an effective treatment.
- A clinical trial at the Razi Hospital Laser Clinic involved 80 women undergoing three LAHR sessions, measuring changes in hirsutism severity, quality of life, and depression before and after treatment.
- Results showed significant improvements in hirsutism scores, depression levels, and quality of life indicators, with no major complications reported, indicating LAHR's effectiveness in alleviating the physical and emotional impacts of hirsutism.
Psoriasis is a chronic and inflammatory dermatologic disease. Psoriasis may predispose to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. However, the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor in mediating this risk is controversial.
