TL;DR: The LungImageDatabase Consortium (LIDC) was created by the National Cancer Institute to create a public database of annotated thoracic computed tomography scans as a reference standard for imaging research and is expected to become a powerful resource for the medical imaging research community.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how the process of standardising and validating data-driven imaging biomarkers differs from those based on biological associations. And they concluded that radiomic signatures are best developed initially on datasets that represent diversity of acquisition protocols as well as diversity of disease and normal findings, rather than within clinical trials with standardised and optimised protocols as this would risk the selection of radiomic features being linked to the imaging process rather than the pathology.

TL;DR: The overall best-case QCT precision was 1.4%, provided that no changes were permitted to the bone mineral density (BMD) scan protocol, and errors may increase substantially when monitoring changes through QCT measurements over several time points.

TL;DR: A number of key technological and methodological advances in imaging instrumentation related to anatomical, functional, molecular medicine and hybrid imaging, that is understood as the hardware-based combination of complementary anatomical and molecular imaging are highlighted.

TL;DR: Results suggest that PET with FDG may provide metabolic regional markers for CJD neuropathology and regional distributions of spongiosis, astrogliosis, and neuronal loss correlated with premortem regional metabolic deficits.
