Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

Network Covalent Solids

Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

What are Biogeochemical Cycles?

What are Biogeochemical Cycles?

The most common elements in organic molecules, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, are only available in the ecosystem in limited amounts. Therefore, these nutrients must be recycled through both biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem, in processes generally called biogeochemical cycles.

The Water Cycle

The Water Cycle

The Earth’s hydrosphere includes all of the areas where the storage and movement of water occurs. Since water is the basis of all living processes, the cycling of water is extremely important to ecosystem dynamics.

The Angiosperm Life Cycle

The Angiosperm Life Cycle

Plants have a life cycle split between two multicellular stages: a haploid stage—with cells containing one set of chromosomes—and a diploid stage—with cells containing two sets of chromosomes. The haploid stage is the gamete-producing gametophyte, and the diploid stage is the spore-producing sporophyte.

Coronary Circulation

Coronary Circulation

The heart, an organ critical to survival, gets nourishment not from the blood it pumps but from a separate circulation system known as coronary circulation. This is the shortest circulation in the body and is responsible for supplying the heart with the nutrients it needs to function effectively.
Coronary circulation begins at the base of the aorta, where two main arteries arise—the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus and supply the...

Background:

Multiphase coronary CT angiography (CTA) involves varying radiation doses, leading to degraded image quality in low-dose phases.
Conventional denoising methods struggle with low-dose CT images, and supervised deep learning requires matched low- and routine-dose image pairs, which are difficult to obtain in multiphase CTA.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel deep learning framework for denoising low-dose CT images in multiphase CTA.
To address the challenge of acquiring matched low- and routine-dose CT image pairs for supervised learning.

Main Methods:

Propose an unsupervised learning technique using a cycle-consistent adversarial denoising network.
Learn the mapping between low- and high-dose cardiac phases without requiring matched image pairs.
Utilize cyclic consistency and identity loss to prevent the generation of artificial features.

Main Results:

The proposed method effectively reduces noise in low-dose CT images.
Preserves detailed texture and edge information, enhancing diagnostic quality.
Experimental results and visual grading confirm significant improvement in image quality.

Conclusions:

The unsupervised network learns image distributions from routine-dose phases, overcoming limitations of supervised methods.
The framework is effective and practical, offering a significant advantage over existing techniques.
The proposed method has potential applications in various other CT acquisition protocols.
