Unsupervised non‐small cell lung cancer tumor segmentation using cycled generative adversarial network with similarity‐based discriminator

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Tumor segmentation is crucial for lung disease diagnosis and treatment. Most existing deep learning‐based automatic segmentation methods rely on manually annotated data for network training. Purpose This study aims to develop an unsupervised tumor segmentation network smic‐GAN by using a similarity‐driven generative adversarial ...

Automated rapidplan model validation using Eclipse scripting API

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract RapidPlan offers efficiency gains and quality improvements in treatment planning. Prior to its use in the clinic, it requires an extensive validation procedure in which established clinical plans and those generated by the model are compared. The manual iterative nature of this process is resource intensive, as numerous iterations are required

Self‐Organized Growth of Catalyst‐Free Single Crystal WnO3n‐2 (n = 25) Nanowire Bundles on Si (111) via Selective He+ Ion Irradiation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel and efficient method is explored to synthesize 1D single‐crystal sub‐stoichiometric WnO3n‐2 (n = 25) nanowire bundles. The approach utilizes selective low‐energy He+ ion irradiation (27 eV) on Mo‐Ni doped WOx surface, achieving efficient catalyst‐free self‐organized growth of high aspect ratio nanowires at the temperature of 700 °C.

Current updates of CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing and targeting within tumor cells: an innovative strategy of cancer management

Cancer Communications, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 1257-1287, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats‐associated protein (CRISPR/Cas9), an adaptive microbial immune system, has been exploited as a robust, accurate, efficient and programmable method for genome targeting and editing. This innovative and revolutionary technique can play a significant role in animal modeling, in vivo genome
