BIF-Net: Boundary information fusion network for abdominal aortic aneurysm segmentation.
Comput Biol Med
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Accurate segmentation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment, but current methods struggle with varying vessel diameters and semantic detail.
- The introduction of the boundary information fusion network (BIF-Net) aims to improve AAA segmentation by enhancing boundary feature extraction through specialized convolutional kernels and additional modules for lost information recovery.
- BIF-Net outperforms existing methods, achieving higher accuracy rates on evaluating datasets, and shows promising potential for practical applications in AAA diagnosis and treatment planning.
Selecting a sustainable waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration plant site is important for handling huge challenges created by on-going municipal solid waste. However, many studies with WTE incineration plant site problems fail to determine alternative evaluation criteria and cities beforehand, which may increase decision costs and evaluation risks. This paper proposes a novel methodology based on decision-theoretic rough set model and suitable analysis for selecting the optimal WTE incineration plant site.

November 2023
Background And Objective: Parallel (chimney and periscope) graft technique is an effective approach for left subclavian artery (LSA) reconstruction in patients treated by thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for the inadequate landing zone. However, certain stent graft (SG) configurations may promote thrombosis and reduce distal blood flow, increasing risks of cerebral infarction and reintervention.
Methods: In this paper, we first attempt to systematically evaluate the hemodynamic performances of different parallel graft techniques as potential determinants of complication risks.
