The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of virtual models as an alternative to orthodontic plaster models. Virtual dental models (obtained from OrthoCAD) and corresponding plaster models of 80 patients in the permanent dentition were randomly selected from patients seeking orthodontic care. Inter-examiner error was assessed by measuring tooth width, overjet, overbite, intermol...

conclusions test-retest and correlation analyses have identified non-redundant radiomics features and this feature are prone to errors if they employed as quantitative biomarker for gbm image analysis. however when we use robust and redundant feature, quantitative image radiomics features are informative and prognostic biomarkers for gbm magnetic resonance imaging. results results shows that th...

Recent studies of resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have emerged as a hot topic and revealed that resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) is an inherent characteristic of the resting brain. However, it is currently unclear if fNIRS-based RSFC is test-retest reliable. In this study, we utilized independent component analysis (ICA) as an effective RSFC detection too...
