TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the usefulness of 3D integrated backscatter (IB) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for quantitative tissue characterization of coronary plaques and used this imaging technique to determine if six months of statin therapy alters the tissue characteristics of coronary plaque.

TL;DR: The present paper addresses recently studied age-related changes in trabecular and cortical bone microstructure based primarily on HR-pQCT and micro-CT and focuses on the three-dimensional microst structure of the vertebrae, femoral neck, and distal radius, which are common osteoporotic fracture sites.

TL;DR: This work shows that a multi-class 3D FCN trained on manually labeled CT scans of several anatomical structures can achieve competitive segmentation results, while avoiding the need for handcrafting features or training class-specific models.

TL;DR: Tissue characteristics of VP before ACS were different from those of SP, which suggests that VP and SP as classified by IB-IVUS are useful in predicting ACS.

TL;DR: In this paper, a coarse-to-fine 3D FCN is used to roughly define a candidate region, which is then used as input to a second FCN for more detailed segmentation of organs and vessels.
