Development of algorithms for high performance digital image processing with applications to medical imaging by Zhang, Cishen

“…We have conducted research in two areas of medical imaging which are ultrasound imaging and computed tomography (CT) imaging. In ultrasound imaging, we introduce a new tissue model where the inclusion of more realistic physical analysis in the received pulse-echo pressure field shows that there are two different natures of noise sources existing in the received ultrasound RF echo. …”

Imaging sodium dendrite growth in all‐solid‐state sodium batteries using 23Na T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging by Rees, GJ, Spencer Jolly, D, Ning, Z, Marrow, T, Pavlovskaya, GE, Bruce, P

“…A spalling dendritic morphology is observed and confirmed by more conventional post‐mortem analysis; X‐ray tomography and scanning electron microscopy. A significantly larger 23Na T2 for the dendritic growth, compared with the bulk metal electrode, is attributed to increased sodium ion mobility in the dendrite. 23Na T2‐contrast MRI of metallic sodium offers a clear, routine method for observing and isolating microstructural growths and can supplement the current suite of techniques utilised to analyse dendritic growth in all‐solid‐state cells.…”

Epstein-Barr viral latent and early antigen serology in nasopharyngeal carcinoma by Tan, Timothy Ter Ming.

“…Clinically, it can be detected by an experienced medical practitioner using fibreoptic endoscopy, computer-assisted tomography or through serological tests. Serological testing detects the presence of specific antibodies to the Epstein-Barr virus, which is a crucial aetiological factor in the pathogenesis of the disease. …”

Piecewise damage model for SiC/SiC composites with multilevel experimental validation by Shi, D, Wang, Z, Marrow, J, Liu, C, Wan, F, Yang, X

“…First, the geometric information of the microstructure was acquired using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray computed tomography (X-CT). High-precision and total-factor finite element models were established, and a piecewise damage model was introduced to simulate in detailing the initiation and propagation of damage. …”

A multimodal multidomain multilingual medical foundation model for zero shot clinical diagnosis by Liu, F, Li, Z, Yin, Q, Huang, J, Luo, J, Thakur, A, Branson, K, Schwab, P, Yin, B, Wu, X, Zheng, Y, Clifton, DA

“…Typically, clinical diagnosis using radiology images involves disease reporting and classification, where the former is a multimodal task whereby textual reports are generated to describe clinical findings in images, as are common in various domains, e.g., chest X-ray or computed tomography. Existing approaches are mainly supervised, the quality of which heavily depends on the volume and quality of available labeled data. …”
