Predicting Uterine Deformation Due to Applicator Insertion in Pre-Brachytherapy MRI Using Deep Learning
DownloadSpring 2023
In locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), brachytherapy (BT) remains the gold standard for boosting to curative doses in radiotherapy. Progress towards balancing target and routine tissue dosimetry for better clinical outcomes has been made possible by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided...

Two-Stage Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Aggregation for the Flotation Separation of Fine and Ultrafine Minerals
DownloadSpring 2023
In mineral processing froth flotation is the most important technique to recover and separate different minerals. However, the flotation process deteriorates significantly with low efficiency and selectivity when mineral particles are smaller than 20 µm. Low flotation kinetics of fine hydrophobic...
