Modelling and control in biomedical systems

The 5th IFAC Symposium on Modelling and Control in Biomedical Systems (including Biological Systems) was held in Hilton on the Park, Melbourne, Australia, from 21–23 August 2003. The Symposium was sponsored by IFAC TC on Modelling and Control of Biomedical Systems (BIOMED) and co-sponsored by the International Union of Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine (IUPESM), the Institute of Ele...

Molecular imaging approaches in the diagnosis of breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction:The accuracy of positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT), positron emission mammography (PEM), and breast specific-gamma imaging (BSGI) in diagnosing breast cancer has never been systematically assessed, the present systematic review was aimed to address this issue.  Methods:PubMed, Scopus and EMBASE were searched for st...

Three-dimensional gel dosimetry for dose volume histogram verification in compensator-based IMRT

Background: Some tissues in human body are radiobiologically different from water and these inhomogeneity must be considered in dose calculation in order to achieve an accurate dose delivery. Dose verification in complex radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) calls for volumetric, tissue equivalent and energy independent dosimeter. The purpose of this...

Computer-Aided Tinnitus Detection based on Brain Network Analysis of EEG Functional Connectivity

Background: Tinnitus known as a central nervous system disorder is correlated with specific oscillatory activities within auditory and non-auditory brain areas. Several studies in the past few years have revealed that in the most tinnitus cases, the response pattern of neurons in auditory system is changed due to auditory deafferentation, which leads to variation and disruption of the brain net...
