Enzyme-powered nanomotors are an exciting technology for biomedical applications due to their ability to navigate within biological environments using endogenous fuels. However, limited studies into their collective behavior and demonstrations of tra...
PURPOSE: This study was to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model with a residual learning framework to predict the full-time 18F-florbetaben (18F-FBB) PET/CT images from corresponding short-time scans.
Differentiating between nasopharyngeal cancer and nasopharyngeal malignant lymphoma (ML) remains challenging on cross-sectional images. The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of texture features on unenhanced CT for differentiating be...

FDG PET/CT imaging is commonly used in diagnosis and follow-up of metastatic breast cancer, but its quantitative analysis is complicated by the number and location heterogeneity of metastatic lesions. Considering that bones are the most common locati...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of a support vector machine (SVM) model built with texture features based on standard 2-[F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-FDG) PET in patients with solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) at a volume ...
PURPOSE: To identify optimal machine learning methods for radiomics-based differentiation of local recurrence versus inflammation from post-treatment nasopharyngeal positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) images.
BACKGROUND: Prognostic modeling in health care has been predominantly statistical, despite a rapid growth of literature on machine-learning approaches in biological data analysis. We aim to assess the relative importance of variables in predicting ov...
Computed tomography (CT) is used for the attenuation correction (AC) of [F-18] fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (PET) image. However, acquisition of a CT image for this purpose requires increasing the radiation dose of the patient. T...
