Multifrequency Electrical Impedance Tomography is an imaging technique which distinguishes biological tissues by their unique conductivity spectrum. Recent results suggest that the use of spectral constraints can significantly improve image quality. We present a combined reconstruction-classification method for estimating the spectra of individual tissues, whilst simultaneously reconstructing the conductivity. The advantage of this method is that a priori knowledge of the spectra is not required to be exact in that the constraints are updated at each step of the reconstruction. In this paper, we investigate the robustness of the proposed method to errors in the initial guess of the tissue spectra, and look at the effect of introducing spatial smoothing. We formalize and validate a frequency-difference variant of reconstruction-classification, and compare the use of absolute and frequency-difference data in the case of a phantom experiment.

Background: Flap reconstruction after resection of a superficial malignant soft tissue tumor extends the surgical field and is an indicator for potential recurrence sites.

Aim: To describe a grading system for surgical field extension of soft tissue sarcomas.

Methods: Grading system: CD-grading is a description system consisting of C and D values in the surgical field extension, which are related to the compartmental position of the flap beyond the nearby large joint and deeper extension for the pedicle, respectively.

As an important component of the rotating machinery, rolling bearings usually work under the condition of variable speed and load, and vibration signals in the same health state are significantly different due to the change in operating conditions. To address the problem that the existing deep learning (DL) methods have fixed nonlinear transformations for all input signals in cross-domain fault diagnosis, we propose a new activation function, i.e.

Classification and Segmentation Algorithm in Benign and Malignant Pulmonary Nodules under Different CT Reconstruction.

Comput Math Methods Med

May 2022

Cancer Center, Department of Radiology, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital (Affiliated People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College), Hangzhou 310014, China.

Methods: The imaging data of 55 patients with chest CT plain scan in the Xuancheng People's Hospital were collected retrospectively. The data of each patient included lung window reconstruction, mediastinum reconstruction, and bone window reconstruction. The depth neural network and 3D convolution neural network were used to construct the model and train the classification and segmentation algorithm.

Reconstructing natural images and decoding their semantic category from fMRI brain recordings is challenging. Acquiring sufficient pairs of images and their corresponding fMRI responses, which span the huge space of natural images, is prohibitive. We present a novel self-supervised approach that goes well beyond the scarce paired data, for achieving both: (i) state-of-the art fMRI-to-image reconstruction, and (ii) first-ever large-scale semantic classification from fMRI responses.

Parametrization of multi-energy CT projection data with eigentissue decomposition.

Phys Med Biol

July 2020

Département de physique, Université de Montréal, Complexe des sciences, 1375 Avenue Thérèse-Lavoie-Roux, Montréal, Québec H2V 0B3, Canada. Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, 900 Rue Saint-Denis, Montréal, Québec, H2X 3H8, Canada.

The purpose of this work is, firstly, to propose an optimized parametrization of the attenuation coefficient to describe human tissues in the context of projection-based material characterization with multi-energy CT. The approach is based on eigentissue decomposition (ETD). Secondly, to evaluate its benefits in terms of accuracy and precision of radiotherapy-related parameters against established parametrizations.
