Numerical methods which utilize partitions of equal-size, including the box-counting method, remain the most popular choice for computing the generalized dimension of multifractal sets. However, it is known that mass-oriented methods generate relatively good results for computing generalized dimensions for important cases where the box-counting method is known to fail. Here, we revisit two mass-oriented methods and discuss their strengths and limitations.

Development of Imaging Complexity Biomarkers for Prediction of Symptomatic Radiation Pneumonitis in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Focusing on Underlying Lung Disease.

We aimed to develop imaging biomarkers to predict radiation pneumonitis (RP) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing thoracic radiotherapy. We hypothesized that measuring morphometric complexity in the lung using simulation computed tomography may provide objective imaging biomarkers for lung parenchyma integrity, potentially forecasting the risk of RP. A retrospective study was performed on medical records of 175 patients diagnosed with NSCLC who had received thoracic radiotherapy.

Objectives: Introduction Fractal analysis (FA) is a computational method used to quantify the complex trabecular structure of bone. While FA has been widely applied in dentistry, there are challenges in standardizing the technique due to factors such as image resolution, region of interest (ROI) selection, and image processing. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the direction of ROI selection (DROIS) on fractal dimension (FD) calculations.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to see how the structure of bone in the jaw differs when there are teeth (dentulous) and when there aren't (edentulous).
- They studied 90 scans of people's jaws to measure this bone structure using special computer tools.
- The results showed that the bone structure is different in areas with and without teeth, which can help doctors understand how to treat patients who need dental implants.
Efficacy of the CALM Algorithm in Reducing Motion-Induced Artifacts in CBCT Imaging: A Fractal Dimension Analysis of Trabecular Bone.
Dent J (Basel)

Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, College of Dentistry, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA.
Objective: The primary goal of this investigation was to ascertain the efficacy of the CALM motion artifact reduction algorithm in diminishing motion-induced blurriness in Cone Beam Computed Tomography [CBCT] images. The assessment was conducted through Fractal Dimension [FD] analysis of the trabecular bone.
Methods And Materials: A desiccated human mandible was subjected to Planmeca ProMax 3D scanning under eight distinct protocols, marked by variations in motion presence [at 5, 10, and 15 degrees] and the deployment of CALM.

The outstanding mechanical properties of lobster claw exoskeletons are intricately tied to their internal microstructure. Investigating this relationship can offer vital insights for designing high-performance additive manufacturing structures. Fractal theory, with its fractional dimensional perspective, suits the complexity of real-world phenomena.
