Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT is a functional imaging modality that has revolutionized the evaluation of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) by targeting somatostatin receptors. This technique has largely replaced conventional gamma camera imaging with 111In-labeled octreotide due to its superior sensitivity and resolution. While the physiologic distribution, normal variations, and common pitfalls associated with Ga-DOTATOC imaging are well documented, rare but clinically significant pitfalls can still occur.

On the manipulator-focused response to manipulation cases.

Philos Stud

Department of Classics and Philosophy, Samford University, Birmingham, USA.

In this paper, we identify a class of responses to cases of manipulation that we label . The key insight of such views is that being subject to the will of another agent significantly affects our freedom and moral responsibility. Though different authors take this key insight in different directions, and the mechanics of their views are quite different, these views turn out to share many key components, and this allows us to discuss several authors' views at the same time, highlighting a variety of challenges for such views and helping to identify pitfalls to avoid in further developments of views of this type.

Article Synopsis
  • The diagnosis of thyroid gland tumors is complicated, requiring specialized expertise and significant time, especially when analyzing many whole slide images from one patient.
  • This paper explores using artificial intelligence, specifically a Multiple-Instance Learning model, trained on weak patient-level data from over 1100 patients to differentiate between benign and malignant cases, achieving a notable F1-Score of 0.85.
  • The study highlights challenges in using real-world data, such as potential issues that could lead to model overfitting, and emphasizes that detailed annotations improve accuracy, especially in smaller datasets.
