Non-parametric Bayesian Models of Response Function in Dynamic Image Sequences [PDF]
Estimation of response functions is an important task in dynamic medical imaging. This task arises for example in dynamic renal scintigraphy, where impulse response or retention functions are estimated, or in functional magnetic resonance imaging where hemodynamic response functions are required.

Development of the algorithm for differentiating bone metastases and trauma of the ribs in bone scintigraphy and demonstration of visual evidence of the algorithm -- Using only anterior bone scan view of thorax [PDF]
Background: Although there are many studies on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) models to medical imaging, there is no report of an AI model that determines the accumulation of ribs in bone metastases and trauma only using the anterior image of thorax of bone scintigraphy.

The tear turnover and tear clearance tests - a review [PDF]
Introduction. The aim is to provide a summary of methods available for the assessment of tear turnover and tear clearance rates. The review defines tear clearance and tear turnover and describes their implication for ocular surface health. Additionally, it describes main types of techniques for measuring tear turnover, including fluorescein tear ...

One‐lung ventilation in obese patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer
What is the best strategy to obtain one‐lung ventilation (OLV) in obese patients scheduled for thoracoscopic lung resections? Double lumen tubes (DLTs), (i.e., Carlens tube, Robertshaw tube etc…) or single‐lumen tube (SLT) with bronchial blockers (i.e., Univent, EZ blockers etc…)?Obese group compared to the control group was associated with: (i) higher
