Published: September 2019

Open peer review (OPR), as with other elements of open science and open research, is on the rise. It aims to bring greater transparency and participation to formal and informal peer review processes. But what is meant by `open peer review', and what advantages and disadvantages does it have over standard forms of review? How do authors or reviewers approach OPR? And what pitfalls and opportunities should you look out for? Here, we propose ten considerations for OPR, drawing on discussions with authors, reviewers, editors, publishers and librarians, and provide a pragmatic, hands-on introduction to these issues. We cover basic principles and summarise best practices, indicating how to use OPR to achieve best value and mutual benefits for all stakeholders and the wider research community.

From the Department of Radiology (E.J.H., S.K., H.K., D. K., S.H.Y.) and Medical Research Collaborating Center (H.H.), Seoul National University Hospital, 101 Daehak- ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul 03080, Korea; Department of Radiology, Seoul National University College of Medicine (E.J.H., H.K., S.H.Y.), Seoul, Korea; Department of Radiology, Hanyang University Medical Center, Hanyang University College of Medicine (S-J.Y., Seoul, Korea).

Quantifying pleural effusion change on chest CT is important for evaluating disease severity and treatment response. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI)-based volume quantification of pleural effusion change on CT images, using the volume of drained fluid as the reference standard. Seventy-nine participants (mean age, 65 ± [SD] 13 years; 47 male) undergoing thoracentesis were prospectively enrolled from October 2021 to September 2023.

Purpose To develop and evaluate the performance of NNFit, a self-supervised deep-learning method for quantification of high-resolution short echo-time (TE) echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) datasets, with the goal of addressing the computational bottleneck of conventional spectral quantification methods in the clinical workflow. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 89 short-TE whole-brain EPSI/GRAPPA scans from clinical trials for glioblastoma (Trial 1, May 2014-October 2018) and major-depressive-disorder (Trial 2, 2022- 2023). The training dataset included 685k spectra from 20 participants (60 scans) in Trial 1.

Posttraining Network Compression for 3D Medical Image Segmentation: Reducing Computational Efforts via Tucker Decomposition.

January 2025

From the Department of Radiology, University Hospital, LMU Munich, Marchioninistr 15,81377 Munich, Germany (T.W., J.D., M.I.); Department of Statistics, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany (T.W., D.R.); and Munich Center for Machine Learning, Munich, Germany (T.W., J.D., D.R., M.I.).

Purpose To investigate whether the computational effort of 3D CT-based multiorgan segmentation with TotalSegmentator can be reduced via Tucker decomposition-based network compression. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, Tucker decomposition was applied to the convolutional kernels of the TotalSegmentator model, an nnU-Net model trained on a comprehensive CT dataset for automatic segmentation of 117 anatomic structures. The proposed approach reduced the floating-point operations (FLOPs) and memory required during inference, offering an adjustable trade-off between computational efficiency and segmentation quality.
