Toward optimal X-ray flux utilization in breast CT [PDF]

, 2011
A realistic computer-simulation of a breast computed tomography (CT) system and subject is constructed. The model is used to investigate the optimal number of views for the scan given a fixed total X-ray fluence.

Optical-resolution photoacoustic imaging through thick tissue with a thin capillary as a dual optical-in acoustic-out waveguide

, 2015
We demonstrate the ability to guide high-frequency photoacoustic waves through thick tissue with a water-filled silica-capillary (150 \mu m inner diameter and 30 mm long).

A Comparative Study of Inequality and Corruption [PDF]

, 2004
We argue that income inequality increases the level of corruption through material and normative mechanisms. The wealthy have both greater motivation and opportunity to engage in corruption, while the poor are more vulnerable to extortion and less able ...

Pericoronary adipose tissue inflammation mediates the atherogenic effects of lipids on multivessel coronary artery disease: a CCTA-based radiomics analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
ObjectiveThe atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a robust predictor of cardiovascular risk. However, its mechanism of action in the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unknown.

Diagnosis of perimenopausal coronary heart disease patients using radiomics signature of pericoronary adipose tissue based on coronary computed tomography angiography

Scientific Reports
To assess whether the radiomics signature of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can distinguish between perimenopausal women with coronary heart disease (CHD) and those without coronary artery disease (

Universal in vivo Textural Model for Human Skin based on Optical Coherence Tomograms

, 2017
Currently, diagnosis of skin diseases is based primarily on visual pattern recognition skills and expertise of the physician observing the lesion. Even though dermatologists are trained to recognize patterns of morphology, it is still a subjective visual

Associations of triglyceride glucose index and atherogenic index of plasma with plaque, inflammation, flow, and functional ischemia assessed by cardiovascular computed tomography imaging in hypertensive patients: a study of different glucose metabolism status

Annals of Medicine
Background The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) are indicators of insulin resistanceand atherosclerosis, respectively. Nevertheless, their relationship with coronary plaque, inflammation, flow and functional ischemia
