Despite the intensive use of radiotherapy in clinical practice, its effectiveness depends on several factors. Several studies showed that the tumour response to radiation differs from one patient to another. The non-uniform response of the tumour is...
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation of the aorta that can progress and lead to rupture. The decision to conduct surgery is made by considering the maximum diameter, but it is now well known that this metric alone is not completely re...
The widespread use of deep learning techniques for creating realistic synthetic media, commonly known as deepfakes, poses a significant threat to individuals, organizations, and society. As the malicious use of these data could lead to unpleasant sit...
Light sheet microscopy in live cells requires minimal excitation intensity and resolves three-dimensional (3D) information rapidly. Lattice light sheet microscopy (LLSM) works similarly but uses a lattice configuration of Bessel beams to generate a f...
Hands represent an important aspect of pictorial narration but have rarely been addressed as an object of study in art history and digital humanities. Although hand gestures play a significant role in conveying emotions, narratives, and cultural symb...
Currently, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer worldwide. Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) has been widely accepted as a stand-alone modality to replace Digital Mammography, particularly in denser breasts. However, the image...
To determine the short-term intra-operator precision and inter-operator repeatability of radiofrequency echographic multi-spectrometry (REMS) at the lumbar spine (LS) and proximal femur (FEM). All patients underwent an ultrasound scan of the LS and F...
Deep neural network (DNN) watermarking is a potential approach for protecting the intellectual property rights of DNN models. Similar to classical watermarking techniques for multimedia content, the requirements for DNN watermarking include capacity,...
Given the reference (distortion-free) image, full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) algorithms seek to assess the perceptual quality of the test image. Over the years, many effective, hand-crafted FR-IQA metrics have been proposed in the li...
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders comprise a diverse range of conditions that can significantly reduce the quality of life and can even be life-threatening in serious cases. The development of accurate and rapid detection approaches is of essential imp...
Multivisceral transplant (MVTx) refers to a composite graft from a cadaveric donor, which often includes the liver, the pancreaticoduodenal complex, and small intestine transplanted en bloc. It remains rare and is performed in specialist centres. Pos...
The Posidonia oceanica meadows represent a fundamental biological indicator for the assessment of the marine ecosystem’s state of health. They also play an essential role in the conservation of coastal morphology. The composition, extent, and s...
This work reports on a terahertz tomography technique using constant velocity flying spot scanning as illumination. This technique is essentially based on the combination of a hyperspectral thermoconverter and an infrared camera used as a sensor, a s...
Lithium metal battery (LMB) has the potential to be the next-generation battery system because of its high theoretical energy density. However, defects known as dendrites are formed by heterogeneous lithium (Li) plating, which hinders the development...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) represents an ongoing obstacle facing many researchers to achieving early diagnosis with high accuracy. To advance developments in ASD detection, the corroboration of findings presented in the existing body of autism-ba...
Flexible laryngoscopy is commonly performed by otolaryngologists to detect laryngeal diseases and to recognize potentially malignant lesions. Recently, researchers have introduced machine learning techniques to facilitate automated diagnosis using la...
The aim of study was to investigate the transformative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) services in one tertiary cardiovascular center. The retrospective observational cohort study analyzed data of MRI studies (n =...
Ancient numismatics, the study of ancient coins, has in recent years become an attractive domain for the application of computer vision and machine learning. Though rich in research problems, the predominant focus in this area to date has been on the...
This paper proposes a method for changing pixel shape by converting a CMYK raster image (pixel) to an HSB vector image, replacing the square cells of the CMYK pixels with different vector shapes. The replacement of a pixel by the selected vector shap...
