Biodiversity and Human Values

17.0K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Professional Values

10.6K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Critical Values01:31

Critical Values

10.3K
A critical value is a definite value obtained from a particular probability distribution at a predecided confidence level (or a predecided significance level) for a given population parameter. The critical value provides demarcation that separates the sample statistics that are likely to occur from the ones that are unlikely to occur based on the given probability distribution and the population parameter to be estimated. The critical value for normal distribution is obtained from the z...

X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

26.1K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

What is an Electrochemical Gradient?01:26

What is an Electrochemical Gradient?

127.6K
Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is considered the primary energy source in cells. However, energy can also be stored in the electrochemical gradient of an ion across the plasma membrane, which is determined by two factors: its chemical and electrical gradients.
The chemical gradient relies on differences in the abundance of a substance on the outside versus the inside of a cell and flows from areas of high to low ion concentration. In contrast, the electrical gradient revolves around an...

z Scores and Unusual Values01:07

z Scores and Unusual Values

11.0K
The z score is one of the three measures of relative standing. It describes the location of a value in a dataset relative to the mean. z scores are obtained after the standardization of the values in a dataset. The z score for the mean is 0.
 This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Breast MRI and X-ray mammography are crucial for early breast disease detection.
  • Combining these modalities enhances diagnostic accuracy by co-localizing lesions.
  • Traditional intensity-based registration methods have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the first attempt at registering breast MRI and mammographic images using intensity gradients as a similarity measure.
  • To evaluate gradient-based registration metrics against traditional intensity-based methods.
  • To assess the impact of breast glandularity and landmark position on registration accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a patient-specific biomechanical breast model from MRI to simulate mammographic acquisition.
  • Projected glandular tissue intensity gradients from 3D MRI to 2D mammographic space.
  • Tested normalized cross-correlation of scalar gradients and gradient correlation of vectoral gradients.
  • Compared gradient-based methods to an intensity-based approach using a pseudo-CT image derived from MRI.

Main Results:

  • The scalar gradient approach with a transversal isotropic material model yielded the best results.
  • Achieved a Target Registration Error (TRE) of 5.65 ± 2.76 mm for CC-mammograms and 7.83 ± 3.04 mm for MLO-mammograms.
  • TRE in 3D MRI was 7.33 ± 3.62 mm.
  • Moderate correlations were found between TRE and breast glandularity (0.65) and landmark position (0.77).

Conclusions:

  • Gradient-based registration, particularly the scalar gradient approach, offers an effective method for combining breast MRI and mammography.
  • The accuracy of registration is influenced by breast glandularity and landmark positioning.
  • Further research should consider these factors to enhance registration precision for improved breast cancer diagnosis.
