Background: For the kinetic models used in contrast-based medical imaging, the assignment of the arterial input function named AIF is essential for the estimation of the physiological parameters of the tissue via solving an optimization problem. …
Co-localization analysis is a popular method for quantitative analysis in fluorescence microscopy imaging. The localization of marked proteins in the cell nucleus allows a deep insight into biological processes in the nucleus. Several metrics have …
Introduction: In Germany, the regional settlement structure is heterogenous, ranging from densely populated cities with a tight network of vascular health care to large regions in which access to health care is limited in terms of space and time. …
Background: Obesity, as a risk factor for many noncommunicable diseases, is a common public health problem in developed and developing countries. Among Iranian children and adolescents, the prevalence of being overweight has increased by almost 50% …
Hintergrund: Die Qualitätssicherungsrichtlinie zum Bauchaortenaneurysma (abdominales Aortenaneurysma [AAA]) wurde 2008 vom Gemeinsamen Bundesausschuss (G-BA) implementiert. Ziele dieser Studie sind es, den Zusammenhang zwischen Krankenhausfallzahl …
The human genome forms thousands of “contact domains”, which are intervals of enhanced contact frequency. Some, called “loop domains” are thought to form by cohesin-mediated loop extrusion. Others, called “compartmental domains”, form due to the …
Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) can be treated by either open surgery (OAR) or endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). The aim of this study was to analyze regional variations in application of (EVAR) and in-hospital mortality after intact …
Complex statistical models such as scalar-on-image regression often require strong assumptions to overcome the issue of non-identifiability. While in theory it is well understood that model assumptions can strongly influence the results, this seems …
