- Recent research investigates using neural networks for reconstructing undersampled MRI images, emphasizing the need for task-based image quality approaches due to complex artifacts.
- The study compares traditional global metrics like NRMSE and SSIM, with human observer performance in detecting subtle signals in undersampled images, using a U-Net model for various acceleration rates.
- Findings indicate that while human observers favored 2× acceleration, conventional metrics suggested 3× undersampling, highlighting a discrepancy between automated metrics and human perception in assessing image quality.
Little is known about the experiences of Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes regarding their self-management during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a qualitative research study using semistructured interviews. In total, 19 interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by 4 independent coders.
