Effect of Random Histogram Equalization on Breast Calcification Analysis Using Deep Learning [PDF]
Early detection and analysis of calcifications in mammogram images is crucial in a breast cancer diagnosis workflow. Management of calcifications that require immediate follow-up and further analyzing its benignancy or malignancy can result in a better prognosis.

Improved accuracy and reproducibility of coronary artery cal-cification features using deconvolution [PDF]
Our long-range goal is to improve current whole-heart CT calcium score by extracting quantitative features from individual calcifications. We performed deconvolution to improve small calcifications assessment which challenge conventional CT calcium score scanning resolution. We analyzed features of individual calcifications on repeated standard (2.5-mm)

Towards reliable calcification detection: calibration of uncertainty in coronary optical coherence tomography images [PDF]
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become increasingly essential in assisting the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Image-guided solutions such as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) are extensively used during the treatment of CAD. However, unidentified calcified regions within a narrowed artery could impair the outcome of the PCI ...

Strategic model reduction by analysing model sloppiness: a case study in coral calcification [PDF]
It can be difficult to identify ways to reduce the complexity of large models whilst maintaining predictive power, particularly where there are hidden parameter interdependencies. Here, we demonstrate that the analysis of model sloppiness can be a new invaluable tool for strategically simplifying complex models.

Transurethral ultrasound therapy of the prostate in the presence of calcifications: A simulation study [PDF]
Purpose: Transurethral ultrasound therapy is an investigational treatment modality which could potentially be used for the localized treatment of prostate cancer. One of the limiting factors of this therapy is prostatic calcifications. These attenuate and reflect ultrasound and thus reduce the efficacy of the heating.
