Towards Super-Resolution CEST MRI for Visualization of Small Structures [PDF]
Proceedings, German Workshop on Medical Image Computing (2022)
210-215, 2021 The onset of rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis is typically subclinical, which results in challenging early detection of the disease. However, characteristic changes in the anatomy can be detected using imaging techniques such as MRI or CT.

Modelling reporting delays for disease surveillance data [PDF]
Statistics in Medicine, 38, 22, 2019, 4363-4377, 2017 One difficulty for real-time tracking of epidemics is related to reporting delay. The reporting delay may be due to laboratory confirmation, logistic problems, infrastructure difficulties and so on. The ability to correct the available information as quickly as possible is crucial, in terms of decision making such as issuing warnings to the public and ...

Detecting T-cell receptors involved in immune responses from single repertoire snapshots [PDF]
PLoS Biol 17(6): e3000314 (2019), 2018 Hypervariable T-cell receptors (TCR) play a key role in adaptive immunity, recognising a vast diversity of pathogen-derived antigens. High throughput sequencing of TCR repertoires (RepSeq) produces huge datasets of T-cell receptor sequences from blood and tissue samples.

Explainable Deep Learning Algorithm for Distinguishing Incomplete Kawasaki Disease by Coronary Artery Lesions on Echocardiographic Imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Background and Objective: Incomplete Kawasaki disease (KD) has often been misdiagnosed due to a lack of the clinical manifestations of classic KD. However, it is associated with a markedly higher prevalence of coronary artery lesions. Identifying coronary artery lesions by echocardiography is important for the timely diagnosis of and favorable outcomes
