AI Article Synopsis
- The study aims to measure breast dimensions using a computer-aided projection fringe system.
- The system measures various breast dimensions like the distance from the sternal notch to the nipple and is faster and non-invasive compared to traditional methods.
- Results showed that the system is highly sensitive and accurate, making it a feasible and advanced option for clinical use.
Article Abstract
Objective: To measure breast basic dimension by using computer-aided projection fringe system.
Methods: A system has been developed for measuring breast basic dimension based on computer-aided projection fringe measurement and programming software. Plastic manikins breast's SN-N (sternal notch to nipple distance), N-ML (nipple to midline distance), N-N (internipple distance), MBW (base width of breast) and N-IMF (nipple to inframammary fold distance) are measured with this system. At the same time, these items are also measured with routine ruler.
Results: This study indicate that the system has some merits: (1) non-touching measurement; (2) it is very rapid, the patient measured need hold his breath only 0.5 second, and all the time it takes is about 2.5 minutes; (3) the measurement's sensitivity is as high as to 0.6 mm, which meets the clinic requirement entirely; (4) the measurement's accuracy of the system is not significantly when comparing to the routine ruler's.
Conclusions: Computer-aided projection fringe system for measuring breast basic dimension is feasible and advanced.

Background And Objective: Automatic generation of medical reports reduces both the burden on radiologists and the possibility of errors due to the inexperience of radiologists. The model that utilizes attention mechanism and contrastive learning can generate medical reports by capturing both general and specific semantics. However, existing contrastive learning methods ignore the specificity of medical data, that is, a patient may suffer from multiple diseases at the same time.

Metallization, a process for applying anti-corrosion coatings, has advantages over hot-dip galvanizing, such as reduced thermal stress and the ability to work "in situ". This process consists of the projection of a protective metal as coating from a wire as application material, and this wire is obtained by multi-stage wiredrawing. For the metallization process, a zinc-aluminum alloy wire obtained by this process is used.

J Comput Assist Tomogr

From the Department of Diagnostic Radiology.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare radiation dose reduction capability for accurate liver tumor measurements of a computer-aided volumetry (CADv) software for filtered back projection (FBP), hybrid-type iterative reconstruction (IR), mode-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR), and deep learning reconstruction (DLR) at a phantom study.
Methods: A commercially available anthropomorphic abdominal phantom was scanned five times with a 320-detector row CT at 600 mA, 400 mA, 200 mA, and 100 mA and reconstructed by four methods. Signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of all lesions within the arterial and portal-venous phase inserts were calculated, and SNR of the lesion phantom was compared with that of all reconstruction methods by means of Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) test.
