Truncation in Survival Analysis01:09

Truncation in Survival Analysis

674
Truncation in survival analysis refers to the exclusion of individuals or events from the dataset based on specific criteria related to the time of the event. This exclusion can happen in two primary forms: left truncation and right truncation.
Left truncation occurs when individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time are not included in the study. This is often due to a "delayed entry" into the study where only those who survive until a certain entry point are...

Improving Translational Accuracy

15.3K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Processing
  • Computational Science

Background:

  • Truncation artifacts in CT images arise when the scan field of view (SFOV) is insufficient or for specific patient positioning.
  • Existing correction methods often rely on extrapolating truncated projection data, which may introduce inaccuracies.
  • There is a need for artifact correction methods that operate directly on reconstructed images.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for reducing CT truncation artifacts.
  • To enable artifact correction directly within the DICOM image domain, bypassing the need for projection data.
  • To improve the diagnostic quality of CT images affected by truncation.

Main Methods:

  • Modeled truncation artifacts using exponential decay functions.
  • Developed a discriminative dictionary with artifact and non-artifact subdictionaries for exclusive representation.
  • Separated artifact-dominated and artifact-reduced image components via sparse representation.
  • Subtracted the artifact component from the original image to yield the final corrected image.

Main Results:

  • Effectively reduced truncation artifacts in peripheral regions of CT images for both phantom and human studies.
  • Revealed previously obscured soft tissue and bony structures.
  • Reduced relative root-mean-square error (rRMSE) from 15% to 11% in phantom studies.
  • Improved the universal image quality index (UQI) from 0.34 to 0.80 in phantom studies.

Conclusions:

  • A novel discriminative dictionary representation method effectively mitigates CT truncation artifacts.
  • The method operates directly on DICOM images, eliminating the need for projection data.
  • Demonstrated significant artifact reduction and image quality improvement in both phantom and human subject studies.
