Multimodality image registration and fusion have a key role in routine diagnosis, staging, restaging, and the assessment of response to treatment, surgery, and radiotherapy planning of malignant disease. The complementarity between anatomic (CT and MR imaging) and molecular (SPECT and PET) imaging modalities is well established and the role of fusion imaging widely recognized as a central piece...

Many initial developments in multimodality focused on systems with unconstrained set of resources, such as those found in desktops, kiosks and rooms with high performance processors, large displays and hi-fidelity audio capabilities. In contrast, mobile cellular handsets are highly constrained, characterized by small screens, restrictive keyboards and intermittent network connectivity. Despite ...

We estimate the evolution of conditional joint distribution economic and financial conditions. Although is approximately Gaussian during normal periods, sharp tightenings conditions lead to emergence additional modes. The U.S. economy has historically resolved quickly “good” mode, but we conjecture that poor policy choices could prolonged periods multimodality. argue multimodality arises natura...

Abstract Background The survival of pineoblastoma patients is low, particularly in infants and those with metastatic disease. This study aimed to analyze the prognostic factors affecting outcome Pineoblastoma different age groups. Methods A retrospective included 33 patients. Twenty-two older than 3 years had upfront surgery, followed by induction CSI then 6 cycles chemotherapy. Eleven younger ...

Serious games have become an important genre of digital media and are often acclaimed for their potential to enhance deeper learning because of their unique technological properties. Yet the discourse has largely remained at a conceptual level. For an empirical evaluation of educational games, extra effort is needed to separate intertwined and confounding factors in order to manipulate and thus...

: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a devastating malignant disease with poor prognosis due to the lack of effective treatment and advanced stage evidenced at diagnosis. Multimodality involving chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy currently advised regimen prolong survival. Recently, surgeons oncologist increased their interest in new innovative treatments such as hyperthermic intrathoraci...

Deep learning has achieved state-of-the-art performances in several research applications nowadays: from computer vision to bioinformatics, object detection image generation. In the context of such newly developed deep-learning approaches, we can define concept multimodality. The objective this field is implement methodologies which use modalities as input features perform predictions. this, th...

This review summarizes the contents of a workshop on multimodality management for Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) held on July 6, 2013, under the auspices of the 4th Asia-Pacific Primary Liver Cancer Expert Meeting Scientific Advisory Committee. BCLC stage C HCC represents a varied disease spectrum and, therefore, further stratification of BCLC stage ...

Combining two or more different imaging modalities in the same agent can be of considerable value in molecular imaging. We describe the use of streptavidin nanoparticle-based complexes as multimodality imaging agents to achieve tumor detection in a mouse model by both fluorescence and nuclear imaging. Up to four biotinylated functionalities can be readily attached to these streptavidin nanopart...

A simulator study was conducted to compare 16 younger (mean age 22 years) and 16 older (mean age 68 years) drivers' ratings of workload (time, visual, psychological stress) and performance of navigation and button-pushing (identification of vehicle or road hazards) tasks under both high- and low-load driving conditions when simple or complex advanced traveller information (ATI) was presented vi...
