Diffusion-weighted imaging relies on detecting the random movement of water molecules using magnetic gradients. It provides information about water mobility in tissues and can help identify areas of restricted diffusion that may indicate malignancies. Developments in MRI technology have improved diffusion-weighted imaging, allowing its increasing use in detecting and characterizing tumors. By measuring the apparent diffusion coefficient, it can aid in tumor detection and assessment of treatment response. Diffusion-weighted imaging is now an important part of MRI exams, especially for evaluating the brain, liver, kidneys and other organs.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy of Brain Metastases Clinical White...Brainlab
This document summarizes the treatment of brain metastases using stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and radiotherapy (SRT). It notes that brain metastases are common in cancer patients and often fatal. While whole brain radiotherapy was previously standard, it causes long-term neurotoxicity. SRS allows high radiation doses to targeted lesions with reduced toxicity. Studies show SRS and SRT achieve high tumor control rates of 47-80% at one year with overall survival of 9-17 months and low toxicity, establishing them as preferred treatments for brain metastases.
Nanotechnology has aided cancer treatment development in several ways:
1) It has enabled earlier cancer detection through highly sensitive nanoscale devices that can detect rare molecular signals associated with malignant cells.
2) It has improved imaging techniques using nanoparticles and MRI to identify cancers that have spread.
3) It allows monitoring of environmental exposures to cancer risks and studying gene-environment interactions in cancer development.
Radiosurgery in urological malignancies can be effectively used to treat prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, and urinary bladder cancer. For prostate cancer, Cyberknife allows for hypofractionated radiotherapy with its ability to track tumor motion and correct for it during treatment. Studies have shown dose escalation and hypofractionated regimens improve local control rates for prostate cancer while maintaining low toxicity rates when delivered with precision techniques like Cyberknife. Cyberknife is particularly useful for treating prostate cancer given its ability to track and correct for intra-fraction motion of the prostate tumor.

A Novel and Efficient Lifting Scheme based Super Resolution Reconstruction fo...CSCJournals
Mammography is the most effective method for early detection of breast diseases. However, the typical diagnostic signs, such as masses and microcalcifications, are difficult to be detected because mammograms are low contrast and noisy images. We concentrate on a special case of super resolution reconstruction for early detection of cancer from low resolution mammogram images. Super resolution reconstruction is the process of combining several low resolution images into a single higher resolution image. This paper describes a novel approach for enhancing the resolution of mammographic images. We are proposing an efficient lifting wavelet based denoising with adaptive interpolation for super resolution reconstruction. Under this frame work, the digitized low resolution mammographic images are decomposed into many levels to obtain different frequency bands. We use Daubechies (D4) lifting schemes to decompose low resolution mammogram images into multilevel scale and wavelet coefficients. Then our proposed novel soft thresholding technique is used to remove the noisy coefficients, by fixing optimum threshold value. In order to obtain an image of higher resolution adaptive interpolation is applied. Our proposed lifting wavelet transform based restoration and adaptive interpolation preserves the edges as well as smoothens the image without introducing artifacts. The proposed algorithm avoids the application of iterative method, reduces the complexity of calculation and applies to large dimension low-resolution images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has succeeded in obtaining a high-resolution mammogram image with a high PSNR, ISNR ratio and a good visual quality.
This document discusses intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which precisely delivers a high dose of radiation to lesions in the brain or skull base in a single session as an alternative to surgery. It was invented in Sweden using the Gamma Knife device. SRS involves attaching a frame to the head for imaging and planning treatment using LINAC, Gamma Knife, or Cyber Knife machines. Common indications are brain metastases, meningiomas, and acoustic neuromas, while contraindications include large or eloquent area tumors. The treatment process involves frame placement, imaging, planning, and a single high-dose radiation session while awake. SRS offers advantages over surgery like reduced risks and
Microwave imaging shows promise for breast cancer screening by taking advantage of the dielectric property differences between normal and malignant breast tissues. A microwave imaging system was developed at Dartmouth that incorporates patient anatomical information from MRI to improve the spatial resolution of the reconstructed microwave images.

Further research is still needed including bilateral breast imaging and customized MRI coils to enable viable 3D microwave imaging.

Lung cancer is one of the leading
causes of mortality in every country, affecting
both men and women. Lung cancer has a low
prognosis, resulting in a high death rate. The
computing sector is fully automating it, and the
medical industry is also automating itself with the
aid of image recognition and data analytics. Lung
cancer is one of the most common diseases for
human beings everywhere throughout the world.
Lung cancer is a disease which arises due to growth
of unwanted tissues in the lung and this growth
which spreads beyond the lung are named as
metastasis which spreads into other parts of the
body.
The objective of our project is to inspect accuracy
ratio of two classifiers which is Support Vector
Machine (SVM), and K Nearest Neighbour
(KNN) on common platform that classify lung
cancer in early stage so that many lives can be
saving. The experimental results show that KNN
gives the best result Than SVM. This report
discusses the Implementation details of our
project.
We have done data preprocessing, data cleaning
and implements machine leaning algorithm for
prediction of lung cancer at early stages through
their symptoms. We have used both classification
algorithms to find or predict the accuracy ratio.
Lung cancer is identified as the most common
cancer in the world that causes death. Early
detection has the ability to reduce deaths by 20%.
In the current clinical process, radiologists use
Computed Tomography (CT) scans to identify
lung cancer in early stages. Radiologists do so by
searching for regions called ‘nodules’, which
correspond to abnormal cell growths. But
identifying process is time consuming, laborious
and depends on the experience of the radiologist.
Hence an intelligent system to automatically
assess whether a patient is prone to have a lung
cancer is a need.
This paper presents a novel method which use
deep learning, namely convolutional neural
networks (CNNs) to identify whether a given CT scan shows evidence of lung cancer or not. The
implementation uses a combination of classical
feature-based candidate detection with modern
deep-learning architectures to generate excellent
results better than either of the methods. The
overall implementation consists of two stages.
Nodule Regions-of-Interest (ROI) extraction and
cancer classification. In nodule ROI extraction
stage, we select top most candidate regions as
nodules. A combination of rule based image
processing method and a 2D CNN was used for
this stage. In the cancer classification stage, we
estimate the malignancy of each nodule regions
and hence label the whole CT scan as cancerous
or non-cancerous. A combination of feature based
eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) classifier
and 3D CNN was used for this stage. The LUNA
dataset and LIDC dataset were used for both
training and testing. The results were clearly
demonstrated promising classification

USING DATA MINING TECHNIQUES FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OF CANCER DISEASEIJCSEIT Journal
Breast cancer is one of the leading cancers for women in developed countries including India. It is the
second most common cause of cancer death in women. The high incidence of breast cancer in women has
increased significantly in the last years. In this paper we have discussed various data mining approaches
that have been utilized for breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Breast Cancer Diagnosis is
distinguishing of benign from malignant breast lumps and Breast Cancer Prognosis predicts when Breast
Cancer is to recur in patients that have had their cancers excised. This study paper summarizes various
review and technical articles on breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis also we focus on current research
being carried out using the data mining techniques to enhance the breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Artificial neural network for cervical abnormalities detection on computed to...IAESIJAI
Cervical cancer is the second deadliest after breast cancer in Indonesia.
Sundry diagnostic imaging modalities had been used to decide the location
and severity of cervical cancer, one among those is computed tomography
(CT) Scan. This study handles a CT image dataset consisting of two
categories, abnormal cervical images of cervical cancer patients and normal
cervix images of patients with other diseases. It focuses on the ability of
segmentation and classification programs to localize cervical cancer areas
and classify images into normal and abnormal categories based on the
features contained in them. We conferred a novel methodology for the
contour detection round the cervical organ classified with artificial neural
network (ANN) which was employed to categorize the image data. The
segmentation algorithm used was a region-based snake model. The texture
features of the cervical image area were arranged in the form of gray level
co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Support vector machine (SVM) had been
added to determine which algorithm was better for comparison.
Experimental results show that ANN model has better receiver operating
characteristic (ROC) parameter values than SVM model’s and existing
approach’s regarding 96.2% of sensitivity, 95.32% of specificity, and
95.75% of accuracy.
An Investigation Of The RWPE Prostate Derived Family Of Cell Lines Using FTIR...Jackie Taylor
This study used Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to investigate a family of prostate cell lines (RWPE-1, RWPE-2, WPE1-NA22, WPE1-NB14, WPE1-NB11, WPE1-NB26) derived from the same source but differing in their mode of transformation and invasive phenotype. Synchrotron and laboratory FTIR microspectroscopy, as well as broadbeam spectroscopy, were able to discriminate between the cell lines based on their transformation method rather than invasiveness. Additionally, a genetic algorithm was tested as a potential standardization of preprocessing for clinical FTIR spectroscopy applications.

Reduced Radiation Exposure in Dual-Energy Computed Tomography of the Chest: ...MehranMouzam
ABSTRACT:
Objective: This study purports to answer the question: Does a dual-energy CT scan of the chest using reduced radiation result in images of equal or better quality compared to those produced by the gold standard of care?
Methods: With the agreement of the Ethical Review Committee and written informed consent from 32 patients, who received dual-energy CT (DECT) scan of the chest in a dual-source scanner, a second set of images was taken at a reduced radiation dose. On virtual monochromatic images at 40 and 60 keV, three thoracic radiologists evaluated image quality, normal thoracic structures, and pulmonary and mediastinal aberrations. Students analyzed the data using analysis of variance, Kappa statistics, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
Results: No irregularities in the scans were missed in the virtual monochrome photographs of all patients at a lower radiation dose, and the images were found to be of sufficient quality. At 40 and 60 keV, standard-of-care pictures produced equal contrast enhancement and lesion detection. Observers were entirely consistent with one another. Among other characteristics, reduced-dose DECT had a CTDIvol of 3.0 ±0.6 mGy, and a size specified dose estimate (SSDE) of 4.0 ±0.6 mGy, a dose-length product (DLP) of 107 ±30 mgy.cm, and an effective dose (ED) of 1.15 ±0.4 mSv.
Conclusion: Dual-energy computed tomography of the chest allows for the administration of lower radiation doses (CTDIvol <3 mGy).
Accelerating the Delivery of New Treatments for Children with Neuroblastoma 2...Scintica Instrumentation
Neuroblastoma is a tumour arising from anomalies in the development of the sympathic nervous system and still accounts for 13% of all cancer-related death in children due to resistant, relapsing and metastatic diseases. There is an urgent need for the development of new treatment against high-risk relapsed neuroblastoma.
Overview:
Here we will discuss the ICR Paediatric Mouse Hospital approach which integrates more advanced mouse modelling, such as the use of genetically-engineered mouse (GEM) models and patient-derived xenografts to accelerate the discovery and evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies and help shape the clinical trial pipeline priorities for children with high-risk relapsing/refractory neuroblastoma.
We will also highlight the pivotal role of MRI within the Mouse Hospital which includes:
Enhancing and accelerating preclinical trials
Quantitatively inform on tumour phenotype and tumour response to treatment to:
Develop in vivo models that emulate the clinical treatment resistant phenotype using chemotherapy-dose escalation protocol
Characterize tumour spatial heterogeneity and evolution over treatment and guide the pathological and molecular characterization of the resistant phenotype
Finally we will also discuss how the compact, cryogen-free and user-friendly Aspect Imaging M-Series has transformed our way of working within the mouse hospital by providing a shared and easily accessible resource for tumour screening (with minimal onboarding) .
A Review on Data Mining Techniques for Prediction of Breast Cancer RecurrenceDr. Amarjeet Singh
The most common type of cancer in women
worldwide is the Breast Cancer. Breast cancer may be
detected early using Mammograms, probably before it's
spread. Recurrent breast cancer could occur months or years
after initial treatment. The cancer could return within the
same place because the original cancer (local recurrence), or it
may spread to different areas of your body (distant
recurrence). Early stage treatment is done not only to cure
breast cancer however additionally facilitate in preventing its
repetition/recurrence. Data mining algorithms provide
assistance in predicting the early-stage breast cancer that
continually has been difficult analysis drawback. The
projected analysis can establish the most effective algorithm
that predicts the recurrence of the breast cancer and improve
the accuracy the algorithms. Large information like Clump,
Classification, Association Rules, Prediction and Neural
Networks, Decision Trees can be analyzed using data mining
applications and techniques.
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world and is responsible for around 13% of all deaths worldwide.
Cancer incidence rate is growing at an alarming rate in the world. Despite the fact that cancer is
preventable and curable in early stages, the vast majority of patients are diagnosed with cancer very late.
Furthermore, cancer commonly comes back after years of treatment. Therefore, it is of paramount
importance to predict cancer recurrence so that specific treatments can be sought. Nonetheless,
conventional methods of predicting cancer recurrence rely solely on histopathology and the results are not
very reliable. The microarray gene expression technology is a promising technology that couldpredict
cancer recurrence by analyzing the gene expression of sample cells. The microarray technology allows
researchers to examine the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously. This paper describes a stateof-
the-art machine learning based approach called averaged one-dependence estimators with subsumption
resolution to tackle the problem of predicting, from DNA microarray gene expression data, whether a
particular cancer will recur within a specific timeframe, which is usually 5 years. To lower the
computational complexity, we employ an entropy-based geneselection approach to select relevant
prognosticgenes that are directly responsible for recurrence prediction. This proposed system has achieved
an average accuracy of 98.9% in predicting cancer recurrence over 3 datasets. The experimental results
demonstrate the efficacy of our framework.

Breast cancer diagnosis via data mining performance analysis of seven differe...cseij
According to World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer is the top cancer in women both in the
developed and the developing world. Increased life expectancy, urbanization and adoption of western
lifestyles trigger the occurrence of breast cancer in the developing world. Most cancer events are
diagnosed in the late phases of the illness and so, early detection in order to improve breast cancer
outcome and survival is very crucial.
In this study, it is intended to contribute to the early diagnosis of breast cancer. An analysis on breast
cancer diagnoses for the patients is given. For the purpose, first of all, data about the patients whose
cancers’ have already been diagnosed is gathered and they are arranged, and then whether the other
patients are in trouble with breast cancer is tried to be predicted under cover of those data. Predictions of
the other patients are realized through seven different algorithms and the accuracies of those have been
given. The data about the patients have been taken from UCI Machine Learning Repository thanks to Dr.
William H. Wolberg from the University of Wisconsin Hospitals, Madison. During the prediction process,
RapidMiner 5.0 data mining tool is used to apply data mining with the desired algorithms.
Fractal Parameters of Tumour Microscopic Images as Prognostic Indicators of C...cscpconf
This document summarizes a study that analyzed fractal parameters of tumor microscopic images as prognostic indicators for clinical outcomes in early breast cancer. The study analyzed 92 breast cancer patients without systemic treatment. It calculated fractal dimension and lacunarity from digital images of hematoxylin and eosin stained tumor sections. Higher fractal dimension, indicating greater structural complexity, associated with higher risk of distant metastasis. Lower lacunarity, indicating less heterogeneity, also associated with higher metastasis risk. The fractal parameters provided prognostic value comparable to standard clinicopathological factors and indicated potential for use in clinical prognosis to complement molecular approaches.
FRACTAL PARAMETERS OF TUMOUR MICROSCOPIC IMAGES AS PROGNOSTIC INDICATORS OF C...csandit
Research in the field of breast cancer outcome prognosis has been focused on molecular biomarkers, while neglecting the discovery of novel tumour histology structural clues. We thus
aimed to improve breast cancer prognosis by fractal analysis of tumour histomorphology. This study included 92 breast cancer patients without systemic treatment. Fractal parametersfractal dimension and lacunarity of the breast tumour microscopic histology possess prognostic value comparable to the major clinicopathological prognostic parameters. Fractal analysis was performed for the first time on routinely produced archived pan-tissue stained primary breast tumour sections, indicating its potential for clinical use as a simple and cost-effective prognostic indicator of distant metastasis risk to complement the molecular approaches for
cancer risk prognosis.
Breast conserving surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy is adopted in the early detected cases and mastectomy followed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy in the advanced cases are the general practices.
Several clinical trials are underway at various NCI-designated Cancer Centers using nanoparticles developed for cancer imaging and treatment. These include trials using PET imaging agents to predict chemotherapy response, an engineered adenovirus to stimulate the immune system against leukemia, siRNA nanoparticles to target cancer enzymes, MRI contrast agents for early tumor detection, carbon nanotube x-ray sources for improved CT scanning, and nanoparticles to cross the blood-brain barrier and target brain cancers. Many of these trials are early phase safety studies.
BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS –A SURVEYijdpsjournal
Breast cancer has become a common factor now-a-days. Despite the fact, not all general hospitals
have the facilities to diagnose breast cancer through mammograms. Waiting for diagnosing a breast
cancer for a long time may increase the possibility of the cancer spreading. Therefore a computerized
breast cancer diagnosis has been developed to reduce the time taken to diagnose the breast cancer and
reduce the death rate. This paper summarizes the survey on breast cancer diagnosis using various machine
learning algorithms and methods, which are used to improve the accuracy of predicting cancer. This survey
can also help us to know about number of papers that are implemented to diagnose the breast cancer.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

Normalisation of distances
In order to give the distances the same impact, we used to normalise
Euclidean, Manhattan, and Chebyshev distances as follow:
Di(x, y) =
Di(x, y) − DMin(x, y)
DMax(x, y) − DMin(x, y)

Classification
We calculated the average distance of three calculated distances
(tasks):
Daverage(x, y) =
D1(X, Y ) + D2(X, Y ) + D3(X, Y )

then we classified according to the minimum distance average.
