Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze improvement prediction on contour deformation accuracy using deformable image registration (DIR) results compared to rigid image registration (RIR) results. Radiotherapy plans for 31 cases (seven head and neck cases, 10 chest cases, six abdomen cases and eight female pelvis cases) from the privately open database for DIR were used. These cases used at least two radiotherapy plans, and registration was performed using two plans, not only for one case but also for different cases. The DIR and RIR were performed using the DIR software MIM Maestro (MIM software Inc., Cleveland, USA). The registration results for the following organs were analyzed: eye balls, optic nerves, brain stem, spinal cord and right and left parotid glands for head and neck; right and left lungs for chest; liver and right and left kidneys for abdomen; and rectum and bladder for pelvis. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) for the organs was calculated from the results of RIR and DIR. The improvement in the DSC was observed. DIR improved the DSC values by more than 0.2 for simple shapes, well-defined boundaries and large volumes such as eye balls, brain stem, lungs and liver. The minimum DSC for these organs was approximately ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
