3D printing 18F radioactive phantoms for PET imaging

Abstract Purpose Phantoms are routinely used in molecular imaging to assess scanner performance.However, traditional phantoms with fillable shapes do not replicate human anatomy.3D-printed phantoms have overcome this by creating phantoms which replicate human anatomy which can be filled with radioactive material.The problem with these is that small

Modelling and predicting landslide displacements and uncertainties by multiple machine-learning algorithms: application to Baishuihe landslide in Three Gorges Reservoir, China

Time series landslide displacement is the most critical data set to understand landslide characteristics and infer its future development.To predict landslide displacements and their quantitative uncertainties, a mathematical description of the landslide evolution should be established.This paper proposes a novel hybrid machine-learning model to pr
