Article Synopsis
- Current treatment for resectable or borderline pancreatic cancer generally involves surgery first and then additional therapy, but neoadjuvant therapy (NT) is gaining attention for potentially better outcomes.
- This study systematically reviewed literature comparing NT and upfront surgery, analyzing their effectiveness on overall survival and resection rates using the PRISMA checklist.
- Results indicated that NT significantly increased the chances of achieving microscopically complete (R0) resection and improved median overall survival compared to upfront surgery, particularly with the gemcitabine + cisplatin + radiotherapy regimen.
Joint alignment of multispectral images via semidefinite programming.
Biomed Opt Express
February 2017
In this paper, we introduce a novel feature-point-matching based framework for achieving an optimized joint-alignment of sequential images from multispectral imaging (MSI). It solves a low-rank and semidefinite matrix that stores all pairwise-image feature-mappings by minimizing the total amount of point-to-point matching cost via a convex optimization of a semidefinite programming formulation. This unique strategy takes a complete consideration of the information aggregated by all point-matching costs and enables the entire set of pairwise-image feature-mappings to be solved simultaneously and near-optimally.
