Background: The modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) sequence is commonly used for myocardial T1 mapping. However, it acquires images with different inversion times, which causes difficulty in motion correction for respiratory-induced misregistration to a given target image. Hypothesis: Using a generative adversarial network (GAN) to produce virtual MOLLI images with consistent heart positions can reduce respiratory-induced misregistration of MOLLI datasets. Study Type: Retrospective. Population: 1071 MOLLI datasets from 392 human participants. Field Strength/Sequence: Modified Look-Locker inversion recovery sequence at 3 T. Assessment: A GAN model with a single inversion time image as input was trained to generate virtual MOLLI target (VMT) images at different inversion times which were subsequently used in an image registration algorithm. Four VMT models were investigated and the best performing model compared with the standard vendor-provided motion correction (MOCO) technique. Statistical Tests: The effectiveness of the motion correction technique was assessed using the fitting quality index (FQI), mutual information (MI), and Dice coefficients of motion-corrected images, plus subjective quality evaluation of T1 maps by three independent readers using Likert score. Wilcoxon signed-rank test with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparison. Significance levels were defined as P < 0.01 for highly significant differences and P < 0.05 for significant differences. Results: The best performing VMT model with iterative registration demonstrated significantly better performance (FQI 0.88 ± 0.03, MI 1.78 ± 0.20, Dice 0.84 ± 0.23, quality score 2.26 ± 0.95) compared to other approaches, including the vendor-provided MOCO method (FQI 0.86 ± 0.04, MI 1.69 ± 0.25, Dice 0.80 ± 0.27, quality score 2.16 ± 1.01). Data Conclusion: Our GAN model generating VMT images improved motion correction, which may assist reliable T1 mapping in the presence of respiratory motion

The Sign Language Recognition System has been designed to capture video input, process it to detect hand gestures, and translate these gestures into readable text. The project consists of several key components and steps: Video Processing: Using OpenCV, the system captures frames from the video input. MediaPipe processes these frames to detect and track hand landmarks in real time. OpenCV capabilities allow for efficient frame extraction and basic image processing tasks such as resizing and normalization. Hand Detection and Tracking: MediaPipe pre-trained models identify and track hand movements within the video frames. The accurate detection and tracking of the hand movements are critical for the subsequent recognition of the sign language gestures. Sign Language Recognition: The core system is the deep learning model, trained using the TensorFlow and Keras on a dataset of sign language gestures. The model learns to classify the detected hand movements into corresponding sign language characters or words. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are typically used for task due to their effectiveness in image recognition tasks. Text Display: Once the system recognizes the signs, it converts them into text and displays the output. This can be done through a console output or a graphical user interface (GUI) built with Tkinter. The GUI provides a user friendly experience, allowing users to see the translated text in real-time.

The central nervous system is impacted by multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic neurological condition that causes significant cognitive and physical deficits. Better disease management and prompt intervention depend on early and precise detection. Effective diagnosis of MS is hampered by a number of factors, such as small datasets, significant clinical presentation variability, difficult feature selection, model generalization problems, and integration of multimodal data such as magnetic resonance imaging and genetic markers. Several machine learning (ML) models are assessed in this study in order to predict the development of clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) to multiple sclerosis. Using clinical and magnetic resonance data from patients with CIS at risk of developing MS, we evaluate the effectiveness of support vector machines (SVM), K nearest neighbor (KNN), decision trees (DT), random forests (RF), logistic regression (LR), Gaussian naive Bayes (Gaussian NB) and XGBoost (XG). Evaluation is performed using performance criteria including F1 score, recall, precision, and precision. According to our research, Random Forest has the best prediction accuracy, which makes it a potentially useful tool for helping doctors diagnose and treat MS patients early. Notwithstanding these developments, issues like model interpretability and data scarcity still exist. In order to improve diagnosis precision, future research will concentrate on enhancing these models by integrating deep learning methods, genetic markers,, and more advanced imaging modalities.

Future vehicular edge computing (VEC) networks are projected to generate massive amounts of computation tasks which exhibit dynamic spatio-temporal heterogeneity. Vehicular users will greatly benefit if the VEC network provides the following information a priori: a) estimates of the delays along the paths and b) amounts of network resources that will be assigned. Existing works did not provide such prior information and only dealt with real-time computation offloading. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed computation offloading strategy in which the vehicular users independently make proactive service reservations across the road side units (RSUs) along their paths. Such reservations are based on the computation offloading delays reported by the RSUs. These delays depend on the optimal network resources assigned by the RSUs to the vehicular users over different reservation slots. In order to determine the optimal assignment of network resources, we propose a new multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) problem where the RSUs act as agents. The objective of the MADRL problem is to maximize the mean number of offloaded tasks. This objective is found as the outcome of the proactive service reservation problem solved by each vehicular user when it is injected into the VEC network. The MADRL problem is approximated using a centralized-critic-distributed-actors model. The proactive service reservation introduces time coupling in the calculation of the rewards, therefore a novel training algorithm is proposed for solving the MADRL problem. Compared to some benchmark real-time computation offloading schemes, the proposed work benefited the vehicular users significantly by providing prior estimates of the delays along their paths. Specifically, the percentage of offloaded tasks achieving the highest utility was 14-20 % higher, b) the computation offloading delays experienced by the vehicular users along the path were the lowest, and c) the utilization of netw
