Asymmetric Data Acquisition System for an Endoscopic PET-US Detector [PDF]

, 2014
According to current prognosis studies of pancreatic cancer, survival rate nowadays is still as low as 6% mainly due to late detections. Taking into account the location of the disease within the body and making use of the level of miniaturization in radiation detectors that can be achieved at the present time, EndoTOFPET-US collaboration aims at the ...

Surgical navigation systems based on augmented reality technologies [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
This study considers modern surgical navigation systems based on augmented reality technologies. Augmented reality glasses are used to construct holograms of the patient's organs from MRI and CT data, subsequently transmitted to the glasses. This, in addition to seeing the actual patient, the surgeon gains visualization inside the patient's body (bones,

KRAS and GNAS mutations in cell‐free DNA and in circulating epithelial cells in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms—an observational pilot study

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that KRAS and GNAS mutations are more prevalent in patients with resected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) compared to those under clinical surveillance. GNAS mutations significantly differ between the two patient cohorts, indicating that their absence may serve as a potential biomarker to support conservative ...

Photoacoustic Imaging Based on AlN MF-PMUT with Broadened Bandwidth [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
This paper reports an aluminum nitride (AlN) multi-frequency piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducers (MF-PMUT) array for photoacoustic (PA) imaging, where the broadened bandwidth is beneficial to improve imaging resolution. Specifically, PMUT based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology is suitable for PA endoscopic imaging of ...

Evaluation of daily residual pancreatic tumor motion for deep‐inspiration breath‐hold radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Breath‐hold techniques are widely used in radiation therapy to minimize respiratory‐induced tumor or organ‐at‐risk motion. However, residual motion persists, necessitating a reliable daily evaluation method. Methods At our institution, fiducial markers serve as surrogates for target localization in pancreatic cancer treatment.

Mesenchymal stem cells: A novel treatment option for primary sclerosing cholangitis

Cell Biology International, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 467-479, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive liver disease for which there is no effective therapy. Hepatocytes and cholangiocytes from a PSC patient were cocultured with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to assess in vitro change. A single patient with progressive PSC was treated with 150 million MSCs via direct injection into the common
