Purpose: To characterize the mammographic appearance of invasive lobular carcinoma in a large series of screening-detected consecutive breast cancers and to evaluate the ability of a computer-aided detection system to mark these carcinomas.
Materials And Methods: Investigators used the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System lexicon to characterize lesions as part of a retrospective review of 90 screening mammographic examinations that led to biopsy-proved diagnosis of 94 invasive lobular carcinoma lesions. The 40 available prior mammographic examinations (obtained 9-24 months earlier) were also reviewed to characterize any visible findings. The results of a computer-aided detection analysis were compared with the images, and the sensitivity of the algorithm was calculated for correct detection of the lesions.
Results: Fifty-six (60%) of 94 lesions manifested as masses, of which 40 (71%) were described as irregular and spiculated; 20 (21%) of 94, as architectural distortions; and the remainder, 18 (20%), as either asymmetric densities or calcifications. On the screening mammograms showing biopsy-proved cancers, the sensitivity of the computer-aided detection system was 86 (91%) of 94 lesions. Thirty-one of the 40 prior mammograms showed retrospectively visible findings, and 24 (77%) of 31 were marked by the computer-aided detection system.
Conclusion: Spiculated masses and architectural distortions are the predominant appearances of invasive lobular carcinoma, and a computer-aided detection system correctly marked a high percentage of invasive lobular carcinoma lesions.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered one of the most deadly cancer types nowadays. It is rapidly increasing due to many factors, such as unhealthy lifestyles, water and food pollution, aging, and medical diagnosis development. Detecting CRC in its early stages can help stop its growth by providing the necessary treatments, thereby saving many people's lives.

Fenamiphos (FENA) is an organophosphorus insecticide, and its residues in fruits, vegetables, and the environment have raised concerns. Therefore, it is very important to develop a simple, rapid, and accurate method for FENA detection. In this study, a novel FENA hapten was designed and predicted based on computer-aided simulation technology, and high-performance anti-FENA monoclonal antibodies were screened using a matrix effect-enhanced screening method, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 1.

A parallelized field-programmable gate array (FPGA) architecture is proposed to realize an ultra-fast, compact, and low-cost dual-channel ultra-wideband (UWB) pulsed-radar system. This approach resolves the main shortcoming of current FPGA-based radars, namely their low processing throughput, which leads to a significant loss of data provided by the radar receiver. The architecture is integrated with an in-house UWB pulsed radar operating at a sampling rate of 20 gigasamples per second (GSa/s).

Early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is particularly important given its insidious qualities and the high cost of the diagnostic process. Currently, static functional connectivity studies have achieved significant results in the field of ASD detection. However, with the deepening of clinical research, more and more evidence suggests that dynamic functional connectivity analysis can more comprehensively reveal the complex and variable characteristics of brain networks and their underlying mechanisms, thus providing more solid scientific support for computer-aided diagnosis of ASD.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in breast cancer screening, with two distinct applications: computer-aided cancer detection (CAD) and risk prediction. While AI CAD systems are slowly finding its way into clinical practice to assist radiologists or make independent reads, this review focuses on AI risk models, which aim to predict a patient's likelihood of being diagnosed with breast cancer within a few years after negative screening. Unlike AI CAD systems, AI risk models are mainly explored in research settings without widespread clinical adoption.
