A Bayesian model for the prediction and early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
(2017)Alzheimer's disease treatment is still an open problem. The diversity of symptoms, the alterations in common pathophysiology, the existence of asymptomatic cases, the different types of sporadic and familial Alzheimer's ... -
Bootstrap-based testing approaches for the assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers subject to a limit of detection
(2019)Assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis frequently involves a limit of detection imposed by the laboratory analytical system precision. As a consequence, ... -
Clinical validation of the LKB model and parameter sets for predicting radiation-induced pneumonitis from breast cancer radiotherapy
(2006)The choice of the appropriate model and parameter set in determining the relation between the incidence of radiation pneumonitis and dose distribution in the lung is of great importance, especially in the case of breast ... -
A comparison of Monte Carlo simulation with experimental dosimetric techniques for a 6 MV stereotactic radiotherapy unit
(2004)Purpose: To compare Monte Carlo simulation with conventional dosimetry techniques for stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), since accurate dosimetry of narrow photon beams is very complicated and has often been questioned, ... -
Human thermophysiological models: Quantification of uncertainty in the output quantities of the passive system due to uncertainties in the control equations of the active system via the Monte Carlo method
(2021)Uncertainty propagation analysis in the Fiala thermophysiological model is performed by the Monte Carlo Method. The uncertainties of the output quantities of the passive system, due to imported uncertainties in the ... -
PET Counting Response Variability Depending on Tumor Location, Activity, and Patient Obesity: A Feasibility Study of Solitary Pulmonary Nodule Using Monte Carlo
(2019)We aim to investigate the counting response variations of positron emission tomography (PET) scanners with different detector configurations in the presence of solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN). Using experimentally validated ... -
Pharmacokinetic evaluation of linezolid administered intravenously in obese patients with pneumonia
(2019)Objectives: Altered linezolid pharmacokinetics (PK) in obese individuals has been hypothesized in previous studies. However, specific dosing recommendations for this population are still lacking. The main goal of this study ... -
Prospective PET image quality gain calculation method by optimizing detector parameters
(2015)Background Lutetium-based scintillators with highperformance electronics introduced time-of-flight (TOF) reconstruction in the clinical setting. Let G′ be the total signal to noise ratio gain in a reconstructed image using ... -
Using Combined Diagnostic Test Results to Hindcast Trends of Infection from Cross-Sectional Data
(2016)Infectious disease surveillance is key to limiting the consequences from infectious pathogens and maintaining animal and public health. Following the detection of a disease outbreak, a response in proportion to the severity ...
