Fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) is a highly sensitive and noninvasive optical imaging technique which has been widely applied to disease diagnosis and drug discovery. However, FMT reconstruction is a highly ill-posed problem. In this work, L0-norm regularization is employed to construct the mathematical model of the inverse problem of FMT. And an adaptive sparsity orthogonal least square with a neighbor strategy (ASOLS-NS) is proposed to solve this model. This algorithm can provide an adaptive sparsity and can establish the candidate sets by a novel neighbor expansion strategy for the orthogonal least square (OLS) algorithm. Numerical simulation experiments have shown that the ASOLS-NS improves the reconstruction of images, especially for the double targets reconstruction.Clinical relevance- The purpose of this work is to improve the reconstruction results of FMT. Current experiments are focused on simulation experiments, and the proposed algorithm will be applied to the clinical tumor detection in the future.

Purpose: To develop a rapid, high-resolution and distortion-free quantitative $R_{2}^{*}$ mapping technique for fetal brain at 3 T.

Methods: A 2D multi-echo radial FLASH sequence with blip gradients is adapted for fetal brain data acquisition during maternal free breathing at 3 T. A calibrationless model-based reconstruction with sparsity constraints is developed to jointly estimate water, fat, $R_{2}^{*}$ and $B_{0}$ field maps directly from the acquired k-space data.

Based on the expectile loss function and the adaptive LASSO penalty, the paper proposes and studies the estimation methods for the accelerated failure time (AFT) model. In this approach, we need to estimate the survival function of the censoring variable by the Kaplan-Meier estimator. The AFT model parameters are first estimated by the expectile method and afterwards, when the number of explanatory variables can be large, by the adaptive LASSO expectile method which directly carries out the automatic selection of variables.

More than the sparse infiltration in glioblastoma, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) also function inefficiently and overexpress the inhibitory markers, especially the identified NK cell receptor (NK1.1). However, most studies solely focus on how to augment tumor-infiltrating CTLs and overlook their killing maintenance.

Article Synopsis
  • Developed a new algorithm for thoracic CT image registration that addresses issues like motion, noise, and high-density objects common in medical imaging.
  • The methodology uses an anatomical structure-aware approach, utilizing a divide-and-conquer strategy to tailor dissimilarity metrics and regularization to different image regions, while dynamically adapting to noise levels.
  • Experimental results indicate that the new method performs as well as, or better than, existing techniques, showing enhanced robustness in noisy environments.

Drug repositioning, which involves identifying new therapeutic indications for approved drugs, is pivotal in accelerating drug discovery. Recently, to mitigate the effect of label sparsity on inferring potential drug-disease associations (DDAs), graph contrastive learning (GCL) has emerged as a promising paradigm to supplement high-quality self-supervised signals through designing auxiliary tasks, then transfer shareable knowledge to main task, i.e.
