A DE-Based Scatter Search for Global Optimization Problems

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2015
This paper proposes a hybrid scatter search (SS) algorithm for continuous global optimization problems by incorporating the evolution mechanism of differential evolution (DE) into the reference set updated procedure of SS to act as the new solution ...

Size‐specific weighted detectability index for computed tomography image characterization

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Technological developments in computed tomography (CT) have increased the diversity of acquisition and reconstruction strategies available for clinical imaging. Task‐based image quality metrics that account for patient‐size variability are needed to characterize reconstructed image performance and support protocol optimization ...

Real-time fully automated dosimetric computation for CT images in the clinical workflow: A feasibility study

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
BackgroundCurrently, the volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol), the most-used quantity to express the output dose of a computed tomography (CT) patient’s dose, is not related to the real size and attenuation properties of each patient. The size-

KERMA ratios vs. SSDE: is one better at estimating pediatric CT radiation doses? [PDF]

Pediatric Radiology, 2012
Reasonable estimates of pediatric CT radiation doses are necessary to better understand the potential radiation risks of this modality. This issue of Pediatric Radiology includes a paper titled “KERMA Ratios in Pediatric CT Dosimetry” [1] that presents a method to estimate organ doses in pediatric CT patients.

Microenvironment‐Responsive Drug Delivery Systems for Ocular Surface Diseases: Mechanisms, Applications, and Translational Challenges

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microenvironment‐responsive drug delivery systems overcome ocular physiological barriers by responding to temperature, pH, ions, reactive oxygen species, and enzymes. This review bridges material design, performance evaluation, and clinical translation, offering actionable insights for treating dry eye disease, infectious keratitis, and corneal ...

Western blot and densitometric analyses of NLRP3, procaspase-1,and caspase-1 protein expressions in the eyes of controls, NSSDE, and SSDE subjects.

, 2015
Expression of 120-kDa NLRP3 increased in SSDE versus controls. Expression of 45-kDa procaspase-1 and 20-kDa caspase-1 showed increased protein expressions in SSDE and NSSDE compared with controls.

Evaluating size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) as an estimate of organ doses from routine CT exams derived from Monte Carlo simulations.

, 2021
PURPOSE: The size specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a metric that adjusts CTDIvol to account for patient size. While not intended to be an estimate of organ dose, AAPM Report 204 notes the difference between the patient organ dose and SSDE is expected to ...
