OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic value of volume-based metabolic parameters measured with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) as compared with other prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we included a total of 57 patients who had been diagnosed...

This study aimed to investigate the relationships among parameters from dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), and F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET in patients with primary head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).A total of 34 patients with primary HNSCC underwent DCE-MRI, DWI, and F-FDG PET before treatment. The perfusion parameters (Ktrans, Ktransmax, Kep, Ve...

Single-Electron-Technology (SET) is one of the future technologies distinguished by its small and low power devices. SET also provides simple and elegant solutions for threshold logic gates (TLG’s). This paper presents the design of an optimal TLG adder implemented in SET. It provides a detailed procedure for designing capacitive– input SET TLG’s for building the adder. The paper also presents ...

In this work, we propose Timed Loop Gears (TLG), as a distributed method for enabling fragmented learning in Resource-Constrained networked IoT edge devices. TLG identifies atomic operations (gears), such feed-forward and back-propagation, necessary training Machine Learning (ML) models. Each of these gears executes on Fog Node (FN) exclusively each data point at time rather than the who...

Objective:This review will outline the correlation of tumor markers and NLR (Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) with measures such as MTV (mean total volume), TLG (total lesion glycolysis), SUV (standart uptake value) in 18F FDG PET/CT pancreatic carcinoma goal selection appropriate treatment modality decrease rates failure recurrences by using markers. In this way, we can predict results imaging mod...

This study investigated the prognostic value of metabolic parameters determined by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with stage III gastric cancer. Patients with pre-operative PET/CT and confirmed stage III after curative surgical resection were retrospectively enrolled. Parameters evaluated from pre-operative PET/CTwere maximum s...

PURPOSE To evaluate the predictive value of the early response of (18)F-flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) during concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS FDG PET was performed before and during CCRT for 13 NSCLC patients. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), mean standardized uptake value (...

Component-Based Software Architecture is a promising solution for realizing distributed computing systems. To develop high quality software for such systems, an analysis of nonfunctional aspects of the software properties (also called Quality of Service or QoS) is very important. The UniFrame research project defines a Unified Meta-Component Model Framework (UniFrame) that includes a notion of ...
