TS2CG as a Membrane Builder.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations excel at capturing biological processes at the molecular scale but rely on a well-defined initial structure. As MD simulations now extend to whole-cell-level modeling, new tools are needed to efficiently build initial structures. Here, we introduce TS2CG version 2, designed to construct coarse-grained membrane structures with any desired shape and lateral organization.

A multi-stage 3D convolutional neural network algorithm for CT-based lung segment parcellation.

Background: Current approaches to lung parcellation utilize established fissures between lobes to provide estimates of lobar volume. However, deep learning segment parcellation provides the ability to better assess regional heterogeneity in ventilation and perfusion.

Purpose: We aimed to validate and demonstrate the clinical applicability of CT-based lung segment parcellation using deep learning on a clinical cohort with mixed airways disease.

Outcomes of wrist denervation and core decompression of the radius for Kienbock's disease.

Background: The definitive treatment of Kienbock's disease has yet to be determined. Wrist denervation combined with core decompression of the radius has not been previously studied as a combined treatment for Kienbock's disease.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of simultaneous wrist denervation and core decompression of the radius in the treatment of Kienbock's disease.

Digital breast tomosynthesis system concept addressing the needs in breast cancer screening and diagnosis.

Purpose: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has been introduced more than a decade ago. Studies have shown higher breast cancer detection rates and lower recall rates, and it has become an established imaging method in diagnostic settings. However, full-field digital mammography (FFDM) remains the most common imaging modality for screening in many countries, as it delivers high-resolution planar images of the breast.

Quantitative Analysis of Scapular Winging Using Moire Topography.

Objectives: Moire Topography (MT) is a non-invasive technique that uses patterned light projection and has been used to qualitatively characterize scapular winging. The purpose of the present study was to quantitatively characterize scapular winging using a novel method of MT.

Methods: A total of 20 shoulders in ten healthy subjects were analyzed.
