چکیده
The paper describes a computer tool dedicated to the comprehensive analysis of lung changes in computed tomography (CT) images. correlation between dose delivered during radiotherapy and pulmonary fibrosis is offered as an example analysis. input data, DICOM (Digital Imaging Communications Medicine) format, provided from CT images distribution models patients. are processed using convolution neural networks, next, selected slices go through segmentation registration algorithms. results visualized graphical format also numerical parameters calculated based on

Learning to Analyze Binary Computer Code
We present a novel application of structured classification: identifying function entry points (FEPs, the starting byte of each function) in program binaries. Such identification is the crucial first step in analyzing many malicious, commercial and legacy software, which lack full symbol information that specifies FEPs. Existing pattern-matching FEP detection techniques are insufficient due to ...
متن کامل[Outcome after PET-CT based radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer].
INTRODUCTION The value of PET-CT in radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with regard to determination of target volumes is established. It is less clear whether its use can improve clinical outcomes of irradiated NSCLC patients compared to conventional staging. The outcome of NSCLC patients included in a previously published prospective study of the value of PET-CT in curative ra...
متن کاملRecall lung pneumonitis due to carmustine after radiotherapy.
A patient who developed pneumonitis immediately after the administration of carmustine (BCNU), within exactly the same field as previous irradiation, is presented. The patient responded partially to corticosteroids. This case suggests that irradiation causes subclinical sensitisation of the lung and can therefore have an additive effect in precipitating lung damage when another pulmonary toxin ...

Aman inhis 70swith a history of rheumatoid arthritis and a 50-pack-year smokinghistory presentedwith aworsening unproductive cough. Chest radiography identified a right lung nodule, with complete workup revealing a T2aN0M0 right upper lobe non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) measuring 4.3 × 2.9 cm. A clinically significant cardiac history precluded theoptionof surgery.Hewas treatedwithadefinitiv...
متن کاملChanges in glucose metabolism during and after radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND Evaluation of the metabolic response to radiotherapy in nonsmall cell lung cancer patients is commonly performed about three months after the end of radiotherapy. The aim of the present study was to assess with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose changes in glucose metabolism during and after radiotherapy in non-small cell lu...
