We present a way to encode more information in fluorescence imaging by splitting the original point spread function (PSF), which offers broadband operation and compatibility with other PSF engineering modalities and existing analysis tools. We demonstrate the approach using the 'Circulator', an add-on that encodes the fluorophore emission band into...
OBJECTIVES: Accurate presurgical brain mapping enables preoperative risk assessment and intraoperative guidance. This cross-sectional study investigated whether constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD) methods were more accurate than diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based methods for presurgical white matter mapping using intraoperative direct elect...
Engaging in extracurricular activities is known to affect both cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes, but there is social inequality in access to these activities. In this study, we examine the role of extracurricular activities in moderating the relationships between secondary school students' social background and their cognitive and non-cognitive...

Candida albicans is an emerging multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen representing an important source of invasive disease in humans and generating high healthcare costs worldwide. The development of a rapid and simple antifungal susceptibility test (AFST) could limit the spread of this disease, increase the efficiency of treatment, and lower ...
Cardiovascular imaging studies provide a multitude of structural and functional data to better understand disease mechanisms. While pooling data across studies enables more powerful and broader applications, performing quantitative comparisons across datasets with varying acquisition or analysis methods is problematic due to inherent measurement bi...

In this paper, a cost decision-making model that compares the healthcare costs for diverse treatment strategies is built for BRCA-mutated women with breast cancer. Moreover, this model calculates the cancer treatment costs that could potentially be prevented, if the treatment strategy with the lowest total cost, along the entire lifetime of the pat...
Segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) in echocardiography is an important task for the quantification of volume and mass in heart disease. Continuing advances in echocardiography have extended imaging capabilities into the 3D domain, subsequently overcoming the geometric assumptions associated with conventional 2D acquisitions. Nevertheless, the ...
