Compton-thick active galactic nuclei (CT-AGNs), which are defined by column density $\mathrm{N_H} \geqslant 1.5 \times 10^{24} \ \mathrm{cm}^{-2}$, emit feeble X-ray radiation, even undetectable by X-ray instruments. Despite this, the X-ray…
In this paper, we consider subaperture-based approaches for the digital aberration correction (DAC) of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. In particular, we introduce a mathematical framework for describing this class of approaches,…
Hadrontherapy is a novel technique of cancer radiation therapy which employs beams of charged hadrons, protons and carbon ions in particular. Due to their physical and radiobiological properties, they allow one to obtain a more conformal…
This paper delves into the challenges and advancements in the field of medical image segmentation, particularly focusing on breast cancer diagnosis. The authors propose a novel Transformer-based segmentation model that addresses the…
The 70-month Swift/BAT catalogue provides a sensitive view of the extragalactic X-ray sky at hard energies (>10 keV) containing about 800 Active Galactic Nuclei. We explore its content in heavily obscured, Compton-thick AGN by combining the…
Chromatin is a polymer complex of DNA and proteins that regulates gene expression. The three-dimensional structure and organization of chromatin controls DNA transcription and replication. High-throughput chromatin conformation capture…
Chip-based optical frequency combs address the demand for compact, bright, coherent light sources of equidistant phase-locked lines. Traditionally, the Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS) technique has been considered a suboptimal choice…
Transformers have recently shown promise for medical image applications, leading to an increasing interest in developing such models for medical image registration. Recent advancements in designing registration Transformers have focused on…
Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is an advanced cancer treatment modality that offers significant advantages over conventional X-ray therapies, particularly in its ability to minimize radiation dose beyond the tumor target. This…
Proton radiography combined with X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been proposed to obtain a patient-specific calibration curve and reduce range uncertainties in cancer treatment with charged particles. The main aim of this study was to…
Multi-task learning (MTL) is a powerful approach in deep learning that leverages the information from multiple tasks during training to improve model performance. In medical imaging, MTL has shown great potential to solve various tasks.…
The Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) onboard AstroSat is designed for hard X-ray imaging and spectroscopy in the energy range of 20 - 100 keV. The CZT detectors are of 5 mm thickness and hence have good efficiency for Compton…
Breast cancer is a significant public health concern and early detection is critical for triaging high risk patients. Sequential screening mammograms can provide important spatiotemporal information about changes in breast tissue over time.…
BACKGROUND: 155Tb represents a potentially useful radionuclide for diagnostic medical applications, but its production remains a challenging problem. A recent experimental campaign, conducted with low-energy proton beams impinging on a…
Our objective is to show the feasibility of using simulated mammograms to detect mammographically-occult (MO) cancer in women with dense breasts and a normal screening mammogram who could be triaged for additional screening with magnetic…
We present GammaTPC, a transformative 0.1-10 MeV $\gamma$-ray instrument concept featuring a tracker using a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) technology with the novel GAMPix high spatial resolution and ultra low power charge…
Multi-gene panel testing allows efficient detection of pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes including moderate-risk genes such as ATM and PALB2. A growing number of studies examine the risk of breast cancer (BC) conferred by…
A key step in Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART) workflows is the evaluation of the patient's anatomy at treatment time to ensure the accuracy of the delivery. To this end, Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) is widely used being…
Medical image compression is a widely studied field of data processing due to its prevalence in modern digital databases. This domain requires a high color depth of 12 bits per pixel component for accurate analysis by physicians, primarily…
Radiotherapy is one of the main methods in the successful treatment of cancer. The tumor is irradiated with photons or charged particles (e.g. protons), and in the case of massive charged particles, the treatment results in less unnecessary…
