In many dynamics of nature we may witness the iteration of a morphogenetic process. Mandelbrot fractals allow us to give an elegant mathematical representation of those engendered by physical processes and provide new tools for an insight into some dynamics in Quantum Physics. The art photography book, reviewed here, proposes an original perspectiv...
According to some philosophers of technology, technology embodies moral values in virtue of its functional properties and the intentions of its designers. But this paper shows that such an account makes the values supposedly embedded in technology epistemically opaque and that it does not allow for values to change. Therefore, to overcome these sho...

BackgroundIn this study, a novel pelvic phantom was developed and used to assess the visibility and presence of artefacts from different types of commercial fiducial markers (FMs) on multi-modality imaging relevant to prostate cancer.Methods and materialsThe phantom was designed with 3D printed hollow cubes in the centre. These cubes were filled wi...
In this manuscript, we are interested in the specification and decentralized execution of administrative workflows. We present a grammatical model to specify such processes by indicating, in addition to their fundamental elements, the permissions (reading, writing and execution) of each actor in relation to each of the tasks that compose them. We t...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The presence of noise sources could reduce the diagnostic capability of the ECG signal and result in inappropriate treatment decisions. To mitigate this problem, automated algorithms to detect artefacts and quantify the quality of the recorded signal are needed. In this study we present an automated method for the detecti...

Although in recent times more research has been done on interactions of metallic dental objects in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiologists are often uncertain whether the objects should be removed or can be retained prior to an impending examination. On the one hand, they want to avoid unnecessary material removal which is associated with co...

Patients in active fixed orthodontic treatment or fixed retention phase may require magnetic resonance (MR) scans of the head and neck region. Orthodontists are challenged to decide whether to keep or remove orthodontic appliances prior to the scans. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of orthodontic appliances on the diagnostic capab...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of noise-optimised virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI+) reconstructions on reducing metal artefacts compared to traditional virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) and linearly blended (M_0.6) reconstructions in patients with lumbar metal internal fixation in dual-energy CT (DECT). Forty patients wh...
