Inhalation of Microplastics—A Toxicological Complexity

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider

Humans are chronically exposed to airborne microplastics (MPs) by inhalation. Various types of polymer particles have been detected in lung samples, which could pose a threat to human health. Inhalation toxicological studies are crucial for assessing the e ...

Deep learning parametric response mapping from inspiratory chest CT scans: a new approach for small airway disease screening

Jiancheng Yang

Objectives Parametric response mapping (PRM) enables the evaluation of small airway disease (SAD) at the voxel level, but requires both inspiratory and expiratory chest CT scans. We hypothesize that deep learning PRM from inspiratory chest CT scans can eff ...
