Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose This study aims to develop a CycleGAN based denoising model to enhance the quality of low‐dose PET (LDPET) images, making them as close as possible to standard‐dose PET (SDPET) images. Methods Using a Philips Vereos PET/CT system, whole‐body PET images of fluorine‐18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F‐FDG) were acquired from 37 patients to ...

Localization accuracy of 6‐second CBCT for lung IGRT with various breathing patterns
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose The 6‐second cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquisition of the Ethos HyperSight (Varian Medical Systems, Inc. Palo Alto, CA, USA) on‐board imaging system offers benefits, but could be too fast to accurately capture an average target position in a free‐breathing lung cancer patient. This study aimed to ascertain whether a 6‐second

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Histotripsy is a focal tumor therapy that utilizes focused ultrasound (US) to mechanically destroy tissue. To overcome visualization limitations of diagnostic US‐guidance, C‐arm cone beam CT (CBCT)‐guided histotripsy is being developed, for which a mobile C‐arm could increase accessibility. CBCT‐guided histotripsy uses a phantom with a

Token Curated Registries - A Game Theoretic Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Token curated registries (TCRs) have been proposed recently as an approach to create and maintain high quality lists of resources or recommendations in a decentralized manner. Applications range from maintaining registries of web domains for advertising purposes (e.g., adChain) or restaurants, consumer products, etc.

Impact of respiratory motion on dose distribution in SIB‐SBRT for lung cancer
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Respiratory motion is a major source of dose uncertainty in lung cancer radiotherapy. The dose distribution of simultaneous integrated boost‐stereotactic body radiotherapy (SIB‐SBRT) is inhomogeneous and is significantly impacted by respiratory motion for lung cancer. The effect of respiratory motion on SIB‐SBRT was investigated with a

Current dialyzer classification in Japan and mortality risk in patients undergoing hemodialysis
Scientific ReportsDialyzers are classified into five types based on their β2-microglobulin clearance rate and albumin sieving coefficient: Ia, Ib, IIa, and IIb. In addition, a new classification system introduced a type S dialyzer.

Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy: Distinctive MRI Changes in Cerebellar and Motor Networks
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) is a rare generalized epilepsy syndrome with a well‐characterized genetic basis. The brain networks that are affected to give rise to the distinctive symptoms of PME are less well understood. Methods Eleven individuals with PME with a confirmed genetic diagnosis and 22 controls were studied.

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves β‐amyloid deposition in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal small vessels. Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated ...
