The Lack of Neurofeedback Training Regulation Guidance and Process Evaluation May be a Source of Controversy in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder-Neurofeedback Research: A Systematic Review and Statistical Analysis.

Neurofeedback (NF) based on brain-computer interface (BCI) is an important direction in adjunctive interventions for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, existing research lacks comprehensive methodologies and experimental designs. There are concerns in the field regarding the effectiveness and mechanistic interpretability of NF, prompting this study to conduct a systematic analysis of...

2.5D Multi-view Averaging Diffusion Model for 3D Medical Image Translation: Application to Low-count PET Reconstruction with CT-less Attenuation Correction.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an important clinical imaging tool but inevitably introduces radiation exposure to patients and healthcare providers. Reducing the tracer injection dose and eliminating the CT acquisition for attenuation correction can reduce the overall radiation dose, but often results in PET with high noise and bias. Thus, it is desirable to develop 3D methods to translate ...

Automated Microbubble Discrimination in Ultrasound Localization Microscopy by Vision Transformer.
