No significant difference found in PET/MRI CBF values reconstructed with CT-atlas-based and ZTE MR attenuation correction [PDF]
Background Accurate attenuation correction (AC) is one of the most important issues to be addressed in quantitative brain PET/MRI imaging. Atlas-based MRI AC (AB-MRAC), one of the representative MRAC methods, has been used to estimate the skull ...

Gender Bias in Password Managers [PDF]
For the first time, we report gender bias in people's choice and use of password managers, through a semi-structured interview ($n=18$) and a questionnaire-based survey ($n=200$, conducted `in the wild'). Not only do women and men prefer different types of password managers, but software features that women and men frequently use also differ.
