Introduction to Radiomics

Marius E. Mayerhoefer, +8 more
- 01 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: Radiomics is a rapidly evolving field of research concerned with the extraction of quantitative metrics-the so-called radiomic features-within medical images as discussed by the authors, which capture tissue and lesion characteristics such as heterogeneity and shape and may, alone or in combination with demographic, histologic, genomic, or proteomic data, be used for clinical problem solving.

Involvement of aquaporin-4 in astroglial cell migration and glial scar formation

Samira Saadoun, +6 more
- 15 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the involvement of aquaporin-4 in astroglial cell migration, which occurs during glial scar formation in brain injury, stroke, tumor and focal abscess, in wild-type mice.

Endothelial von Willebrand factor regulates angiogenesis

Richard D. Starke, +11 more
- 20 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: A new function of VWF is identified in ECs, which confirms VWF as a protein with multiple vascular roles and defines a novel link between hemostasis and angiogenesis.

Characterizing the lacunarity of random and deterministic fractal sets

C. Allain, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1991 - 
TL;DR: The lacunarity of a set is defined from the fluctuations of the mass distribution function, which is found using an algorithm the authors call the gliding-box method, and this definition is applied to characterize the geometry of random and deterministic fractal sets.
