As a fundamental part of ground penetrating radar (GPR) data processing, reverse time migration (RTM) can correctly position reflection waves and focusing diffraction on the proper spatial position. Least-squares reverse-time (LSRTM) is widely used in seismic field for its ability to suppress artifacts generate high-resolution images comparison conventional RTM. However, particular case GPR det...

The results of an experimental investigation on the human thermal comfort inside the cabin of some Airbus A319 aircrafts during 14 short-haul domestic flights, linking various Italian cities, are presented and used to define a correlation among the predicted mean vote (PMV), a procedure which is commonly used to assess the thermal comfort in inhabited environments, and the equivalent temperatur...

UNLABELLED Assessment of tumor response after chemotherapy using (18)F-FDG PET metrics is gaining acceptance. Several studies have suggested that the parameters metabolically active tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) are superior to SUVmax for measuring tumor burden. However, the measurement of MTV and TLG is still controversial; the most common method uses an absolute thresho...

UNLABELLED Synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastasis (SCLM) remains a clinical challenge, largely because of the limited availability of tools that use reliable prognostic indicators to guide treatment. This study assessed the prognostic ability of preoperative (18)F-FDG PET/CT in patients with SCLM who had undergone curative-intent colorectal and liver surgery. METHODS All included pati...

N-version programming (NVP) and acceptance testing (AT) are established methods for obtaining highly reliable results from imperfect software. In NVP, several program modules are executed independently and the final result is derived by voting on the module outputs. In AT (as embodied, for example, in the recovery-block construct), outputs of a program module are subjected to an acceptance test...

The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic value of metabolic tumor burden measured by positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma.We reviewed 127 consecutive patients with pathologically proven stage I lung adenocarcinoma who underwent pretreatment [18F]FDG PET/CT scans in our hospital from 2005 June to 2012 June. The max...

OBJECTIVE To find out the most valuable parameter of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for predicting distant metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS From June 2007 through December 2010, 43 non-metastatic NPC patients who underwent 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) before radical Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy we...
