Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

208
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Significant Figures

All the digits in a measurement, including the uncertain last digit, are called significant figures or significant digits. Note that zero may be a measured value; for example, if a scale that shows weight to the nearest pound reads “140,” then the 1 (hundreds), 4 (tens), and 0 (ones) are all significant (measured) values.

  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and synthesized 2D imaging are advancements in mammography.
  • Image artifacts can negatively impact diagnostic accuracy in these technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the appearance of unique artifacts in DBT and synthesized 2D imaging.
  • To review the causes of these artifacts.
  • To discuss methods for artifact amelioration.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive review of artifact appearance.
  • Analysis of artifact causation.
  • Discussion of mitigation techniques.

Main Results:

  • Unique artifacts are present in DBT and synthesized 2D imaging.
  • These artifacts can obscure clinically significant findings.
  • Specific processing algorithms can help mitigate artifact effects.

Conclusions:

  • Artifacts in DBT and synthesized 2D imaging reduce image quality.
  • Radiologists, technologists, and physicists must recognize and manage these artifacts.
  • Utilizing vendor-provided algorithms is key to mitigating artifact impact.
