Phase Space Analysis of Fluorine-Oxygen-Nitrogen Network and Energy Generation in Flourine-Oxygen Reaction [PDF]
Reaction network of fluorine-18, oxygen-15 and nitrogen-15 is considered for its temperature dependent energy output. The main reactions for generation and annihilation of oxygen and fluorine are coupled in the reaction equations while nitrogen is produced as a decay product.

Oxygen isotopic ratios in first dredge-up red giant stars and nuclear reaction rate uncertainties revisited [PDF]
We describe a general yet simple method to analyse the propagation of nuclear reaction rate uncertainties in a stellar nucleosynthesis and mixing context. The method combines post-processing nucleosynthesis and mixing calculations with a Monte Carlo scheme.

Noninvasive evaluation of ischaemic heart disease: myocardial perfusion imaging or stress echocardiography? [PDF]
Stress echocardiography and myocardial perfusion imaging are commonly used noninvasive imaging modalities for the evaluation of ischaemic heart disease. Both modalities have proved clinically useful in the entire spectrum of coronary artery disease. Both

The effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging (ahead of publication) [PDF]
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide.

AutoPET Challenge 2023: Sliding Window-based Optimization of U-Net [PDF]
Tumor segmentation in medical imaging is crucial and relies on precise delineation. Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) is widely used in clinical practice to detect metabolically active tumors. However, FDG-PET scans may misinterpret irregular glucose consumption in healthy or benign tissues as cancer. Combining PET with Computed

18F-FDG PET/CT in therapy response assessment: oligometastatic colorectal cancer
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most widespread cancers worldwide, leading to roughly half a million deaths yearly. The European Society for Medical Oncology defined oligometastatic CRC as a disease with few metastases affecting a small ...
