German researchers tout U-Net for pixel-level lung thickness maps
By Liz Carey
The deep-learning model may be helpful for diagnosing and preventing the progression of pulmonary diseases during routine chest x-ray screenings.

Qualitative results of eight frontal chest radiographs from the synthetic public test set, where each column represents one participant. Participants one through four are from the Luna16 test set, and participants five through eight are from the pulmonary embolism test set. (A) Simulated input radiographs, (B) predicted thickness maps, (C) reference standard thickness maps, and (D) absolute difference between the reference standard and predicted maps. The color bars for B and C indicate lung thickness in millimeters (mm). The color bar for D indicates the pixel-level estimation error in mm.

Axial (A) and Coronal (B) CTPA show multiple partial intraluminal filling defects along the course of the right middle lobar segmental branches (medial segment) (yellow arrow) and lower lobar and postero-medial segmental branches (green arrow). Note the low-signal filling defects on the axial and coronal 0.55T MRI sequence.
PET/MRI and DECT show abnormalities in long COVID patients

Myocardial involvement. Representative examples show fused PET/MRI images in patients with findings suggestive of myocarditis. (A and B) Short-axis view of increased F-18 FDG uptake in basal septum segments (A), colocalized with area of increased T2 values (B) on parametric mapping. (C and D) Prominent F-18 FDG uptake in middle anterolateral and inferolateral walls (C), matching area of increased T1 values (D). (E and F) Short-axis views of avid F-18 FDG uptake in basal inferior and inferolateral walls (E), matching areas of increased extracellular volume (F). SUV scale is 0-5 g/mL.
