In recent years, pattern recognition methods have been increasingly applied to neuroimaging studies of ADHD. However, these methods often suffer from limited accuracy and interpretability, impeding their contribution to the identification of ADHD-related biomarkers. To address these limitations, we applied the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) results for the limbic system and cerebellar network as input data and conducted a binary hypothesis testing framework for ADHD biomarker detection. Our study on the ADHD-200 dataset at multiple sites resulted in an average classification accuracy of 93%, indicating strong discriminative power of the input brain regions between the ADHD and control groups. Moreover, our approach identified critical brain regions, including the thalamus, hippocampal gyrus, and cerebellum Crus 2, as biomarkers. Overall, this investigation uncovered potential ADHD biomarkers in the limbic system and cerebellar network through the use of ALFF realizing highly credible results, which can provide new insights for ADHD diagnosis and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":49870,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Research on a vehicle and pedestrian detection algorithm based on improved attention and feature fusion.","authors":"Wenjie Liang","doi":"10.3934/mbe.2024255","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3934/mbe.2024255","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>With the widespread integration of deep learning in intelligent transportation and various industrial sectors, target detection technology is gradually becoming one of the key research areas. Accurately detecting road vehicles and pedestrians is of great significance for the development of autonomous driving technology. Road object detection faces problems such as complex backgrounds, significant scale changes, and occlusion. To accurately identify traffic targets in complex environments, this paper proposes a road target detection algorithm based on the enhanced YOLOv5s. This algorithm introduces the weighted enhanced polarization self attention (WEPSA) self-attention mechanism, which uses spatial attention and channel attention to strengthen the important features extracted by the feature extraction network and suppress insignificant background information. In the neck network, we designed a weighted feature fusion network (CBiFPN) to enhance neck feature representation and enrich semantic information. This strategic feature fusion not only boosts the algorithm's adaptability to intricate scenes, but also contributes to its robust performance. Then, the bounding box regression loss function uses EIoU to accelerate model convergence and reduce losses. Finally, a large number of experiments have shown that the improved YOLOv5s algorithm achieves mAP@0.5 scores of 92.8% and 53.5% on the open-source datasets KITTI and Cityscapes. On the self-built dataset, the mAP@0.5 reaches 88.7%, which is 1.7%, 3.8%, and 3.3% higher than YOLOv5s, respectively, ensuring real-time performance while improving detection accuracy. In addition, compared to the latest YOLOv7 and YOLOv8, the improved YOLOv5 shows good overall performance on the open-source datasets.</p>","PeriodicalId":49870,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multi-phase CT imaging enhances tumor characterization, thereby assisting radiologists in accurate identification. However, existing automatic liver tumor segmentation models did not fully exploit multi-phase information and lacked the capability to capture global information. In this study, we developed a pioneering multi-phase feature interaction Transformer network (MI-TransSeg) for accurate liver tumor segmentation and a subsequent microvascular invasion (MVI) assessment in contrast-enhanced CT images. In the proposed network, an efficient multi-phase features interaction module was introduced to enable bi-directional feature interaction among multiple phases, thus maximally exploiting the available multi-phase information. To enhance the model's capability to extract global information, a hierarchical transformer-based encoder and decoder architecture was designed. Importantly, we devised a multi-resolution scales feature aggregation strategy (MSFA) to optimize the parameters and performance of the proposed model. Subsequent to segmentation, the liver tumor masks generated by MI-TransSeg were applied to extract radiomic features for the clinical applications of the MVI assessment. With Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, a clinical multi-phase contrast-enhanced CT abdominal dataset was collected that included 164 patients with liver tumors. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed MI-TransSeg was superior to various state-of-the-art methods. Additionally, we found that the tumor mask predicted by our method showed promising potential in the assessment of microvascular invasion. In conclusion, MI-TransSeg presents an innovative paradigm for the segmentation of complex liver tumors, thus underscoring the significance of multi-phase CT data exploitation. The proposed MI-TransSeg network has the potential to assist radiologists in diagnosing liver tumors and assessing microvascular invasion.</p>","PeriodicalId":49870,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
