meaningIntroduction: 18FDG PET/CT imaging may be a useful tool to study lung inflammation in COPD; however the optimal protocol for this imaging biomarker has yet to be established.doi:10.1136/thoraxjnl-2014-206260.26G ChoudhuryQueens Medical Research Institute, Edinburgh, UKA Fletcher...
To enhance the model’s ability to generalize, data augmentation72 is applied during the training process, meaning that each batch of data is augmented before being fed into the model. The augmentation process includes Gaussian noise, axial flipping, and axial rotation, each with a 50% ...
An analysis of the different aortic segments was performed by placing Regions of Interest (ROIs) around the vessel in cross section. The selected segments were defined according to the Most Diseased Segment (MDS)11, meaning that the slice two neighboring slices wisicthaltchuelahteigdh(eFsitgS...
This is in contrast to colonoscopy, where the rate of complication increases with age, while the prophylactic meaning of a polypectomy decreases. This is especially relevant as colorectal screening is recommended for individuals up to 70 years of age [...
be largely attributed to their significantly larger training sets, since our model is trained on a at most 250 patients. Despite this limitation, such comparisons remain crucial for prostate cancer prognosis research, as baseline models (i.e. nomograms) are still the standard in clinical practice...
The percentage of stage modification due to 2-[18F]FDG PET findings is weaker in stage IIA patients but not negligible (13% in Table 2). Three studies from Table 2 also evaluated the percentage of upstaging based on the identification of distant metastasis only (meaning the exclusion of ...
the PET/CT-GTV, was significantly greater than the CT-GTV meaning that PET uptake may extend also beyond the tumor volume visible on CT images. This information could lead to reduce the risk of geographic miss at the periphery of the tumor. Similarly, the PET/CT-CTV was larger than the ...
In addition, in light of the latest developments on research in general, we welcome proposals for studies and experiments designs that have not run yet. We encourage the FDG community to look into the work by the Center for Open Science and the suggestion to consider pre-registration, an ...
I have noticed, for a while now, that at night he is the only one who does not have a den to sleep in. looking over the internet I found one article that mentions that they sleep "on spot", meaning they stay in a low flow area and sleep while they swim. can you confirm this?
in FUO means a case with no abnormal findings on FDG-PET/CT in a case in which a final diagnosis was not attained through the diagnostic process, regardless that the cause of the prolonged fever was unsolved. Overall, TN is not thought of as a positive meaning, but as is presented in ...
