BACKGROUND/AIM: Breast cancers are one of the most common cancers in women and are responsible for many deaths worldwide. Mast cells are inflammatory cells. Their role in cancers is controversial, and there is limited data on systemic mast cell activ...
Macrometastases in bone are preceded by bone marrow invasion of disseminated tumor cells. This study combined functional imaging parameters from FDG-PET/CT and MRI in a rat model of breast cancer bone metastases to a Model-averaged Neural Network (av...

In the current study, a breast tumor xenograft was established in athymic nude mice by subcutaneous injection of the MCF-7 cell line and assessed the tumor progression by photoacoustic spectroscopy combined with machine learning tools. The advancemen...
Cryo-imaging sections and images a whole mouse and provides ~ 120-GBytes of microscopic 3D color anatomy and fluorescence images, making fully manual analysis of metastases an onerous task. A convolutional neural network (CNN)-based metastases segmen...
