Breast cancer is a major problem and the most common cancer among women. The nature of conventional mammography makes it very difficult to distinguish a cancer from overlying breast tissues. Digital Tomosynthesis refers to a three-dimensional imaging technique that allows reconstruction of an arbitrary set of planes in the breast from limited-angle series of projection images as the x-ray sourc...

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) is an endogenous intermediate of the glycolytic pathway. Exogenous administration of FBP has been shown to exert protective effects in a variety of ischemic injury models, which are attributed to its ability to sustain glycolysis and increase ATP production. Here, we demonstrated that a single treatment with FBP markedly attenuated arthritis, assessed by reductio...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to compare a routine bone SPECT/CT protocol using CT reconstructed with filtered backprojection (FBP) with an optimized protocol using low-dose CT images reconstructed with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR). METHODS In this prospective study, enrolled patients underwent bone SPECT/CT, with 1 SPECT acquisition followed by 2 randomized...

Introduction: Quantitative evaluation is recommended to improve diagnostic ability and serial assessment of dopamine transporter (DAT) density scans. We decided to compare the ordered subsets expectation-maximization (OSEM) with filtered back-projection (FBP), and to investigate the impact of different iteration and cut-off frequencies on SBR values. Methods</stro...

OBJECTIVE To synthesize outputs and outcomes of community-based tuberculosis targeted testing and treatment (TTT) programs in foreign-born populations (FBP) in the United States (US). METHODS We systematically searched five bibliographic databases and other key resources. Two reviewers independently applied eligibility criteria to screen citations and extracted data from included studies. We ...

The glycoprotein gp38 is overexpressed in 90% of ovarian carcinomas and recognized by monoclonal antibodies MOvl8 and MOvl9. This molecule is a high affinity folate binding protein (FBP) and a potential marker for ovarian carcinoma. We have developed a model to investigate the biochemical and biological properties of this folate receptor by transfecting NIH/3T3 cells, which do not endogenously ...

Algoritma Filtered Back Projection (FBP) telah menjadi algoritma standar untuk rekonstruksi citra dalam computed tomography (CT) selama bertahun-tahun, tetapi ini menciptakan kemungkinan artefak dan peningkatan noise gambar yang mencolok ketika dosis radiasi dikurangi secara berlebihan. Dengan kemajuan teknologi kapasitas komputasi, Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASIR) muncul ke...

BACKGROUND Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) is challenging, with a 70.9%-87.3% sensitivity and 44.3%-70.8% specificity, compared with autopsy diagnosis. Florbetapir F18 positron emission tomography (FBP-PET) estimates beta-amyloid plaque density antemortem. METHODS Of 2052 patients (≥55 years old) clinically diagnosed with mild or moderate AD dementia from 2 solanezumab clinical t...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE D-Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) is an intermediate in the glycolytic pathway, exerting pharmacological actions on inflammation by inhibiting cytokine production or interfering with adenosine production. Here, the possible antinociceptive effect of FBP and its mechanism of action in the carrageenin paw inflammation model in mice were addressed, focusing on the two mechan...

This study was aimed to evaluate the image quality and lacunar lesion detection of thin-slice brain computed tomography (CT) images with different reconstruction algorithms, including filtered back projection (FBP), hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR), and iterative model reconstruction (IMR) by comparison of routine slice images with FBP reconstruction. Sixty-one patients underwent noncontra...
