In recent times, biomedical imaging & medical image processing have become magnificent beneficial and most challenging area of engineering & technology. X-ray, MRI CT gave wide variety of information for the anatomy, it recognize disease easily and clearly and it is also gave benefit and useful for exact diagnosis. Image segmentation is an imperative stride for further post-handling of therapeutic images. This paper gave the explanation the field of picture preparing and gives insights about how picture division procedures might be pertinent to the diverse imaging modalities accessible. On account of MRI of mind, picture division constitutes a fundamental stride for discovery of tumor. This paper gives a proposed technique that have been connected to cerebrum MRI images, CT images and X-ray image, to portion the mind into its constituent parts, including the tumor (if present).

Luminescent CdSe/ZnS QDs, with emission in the red region of the spectrum, were synthesized and encapsulated in poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(D,L-lactide) diblock copolymer micelles, to prepare water-soluble, biocompatible QD micelles. PEG-PLA diblock copolymers were synthesized by ring opening polymerization of D,Llactide, in the presence of methoxy PEG as a macroinitiator. QDs were encapsulated with PEG-PLA polymers using a solid dispersion method in chloroform. The resultant polymer micelles, with encapsulated QDs, were characterized using various analytical techniques, such as UV-Vis measurement, light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic forced microscopy (AFM). The polymer micelles, with encapsulated QDs, were spherical and showed diameters in the range of 20–150 nm. The encapsulated QDs were highly luminescent, and have high potential for applications in biomedical imaging and detection.

Piezoelectric composites with 1–3 connectivity have attracted great attentions recently in ultrasonic transducers such as biomedical imaging and industrial flaw detection. However, data related to piezoelectric temperature stability of the composites can be rarely found in the literature. Thus, it is vital to study the piezoelectric temperature stability for practical applications. We chose a commercially available excellent PZT-51 ceramic to prepare a 1–3 PZT/epoxy piezoelectric composite with an improved dice-fill method and examined both its room-temperature piezoelectric performances and electromechanical temperature stability in this study. This composite shows the well-balanced overall performance with high thickness-mode electromechanical coupling coefficient kt of 0.73, large piezoelectric voltage coefficient g33 of 65 × 10−3 Vm/N, and moderate acoustic impedance Z of 13.8 Mrayl. Most importantly, kt is very stable with nearly no temperature dependence in the common usage temperature range from − 30 to 100 °C. This work indicates that selecting a proper PZT ceramic is an essential precondition for obtaining the excellent piezoelectric composites.

Existing biomedical imaging modalities are often restricted by their substantial size, high costs, and potential risks associated with ionizing radiation exposure. Given these challenges, there is an urgent need for innovative imaging systems that not only excel in detection performance but are also compact, cost-effective, and ensure safety for biomedical applications. In response to these requirements, our research introduces an advanced terahertz (THz) microbolometer array imaging system (MAIS), specifically engineered for biomedical detection. At the core of this system is our novel microbolometer, which is distinguished by its unique structure and integration with graphene; its innovative design and strategic material composition substantially enhance the MAIS's efficacy. This graphene-integrated microbolometer demonstrates outstanding performance within the 1-5 THz operational bandwidth, achieving an average response time of 0.246 s, a peak responsivity of 8.95 × 105 V W-1, and an optimum detectivity of 5.97 × 108 cm Hz1/2 W-1. These exceptional metrics significantly extend our MAIS's applicability in nonionizing and noninvasive imaging, providing a robust solution for fast, sensitive, and accurate detection in biomedical contexts. This innovative study constitutes a considerable advancement in THz detection, with the potential to substantially transform the field of biomedical imaging.

Application and theory gaps during the rise of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Oral cancer is a malignant tumor that usually occurs within the tissues of the mouth. This type of cancer mainly includes tumors in the lining of the mouth, tongue, lips, buccal mucosa and gums. Oral cancer is on the rise globally, especially in some specific risk groups. The early stage of oral cancer is usually asymptomatic, while the late stage may present with ulcers, lumps, bleeding, etc. The objective of this paper is to propose an effective and accurate method for the identification and classification of oral cancer. We applied two deep learning methods, CNN and Transformers. First, we propose a new CANet classification model for oral cancer, which uses attention mechanisms combined with neglected location information to explore the complex combination of attention mechanisms and deep networks, and fully tap the potential of attention mechanisms. Secondly, we design a classification model based on Swim transform. The image is segmented into a series of two-dimensional image blocks, which are then processed by multiple layers of conversion blocks. The proposed classification model was trained and predicted on Kaggle Oral Cancer Images Dataset, and satisfactory results were obtained. The average accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and F1-Socre of Swin transformer architecture are 94.95%, 95.37%, 95.52% and 94.66%, respectively. The average accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and F1-Score of CANet model were 97.00%, 97.82%, 97.82% and 96.61%, respectively. We studied different deep learning algorithms for oral cancer classification, including convolutional neural networks, converters, etc. Our Attention module in CANet leverages the benefits of channel attention to model the relationships between channels while encoding precise location information that captures the long-term dependencies of the network. The model achieves a high classification effect with an accuracy of 97.00%, which can be used in the automatic recognition and classification of oral cancer.

The use of highly specific and highly sensitive immunofluorescent probes is a promising approach for biomedical imaging in living tissue. We focus on immunofluorescence with quantum dot bioconjugates for hepatoma detection in vivo. We synthesized specific immunofluorescent probes by linking quantum dots to AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) antibody for specific binding AFP-an important marker for hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. In in vivo studies, the characteristic quantum dot (QD) fluorescent property is exhibited by the QDs-Anti-AFP probes in tumor and they demonstrate active tumor targeting and spectroscopic hepatoma imaging with an integrated fluorescence imaging system. We investigate the inhomogeneous distribution of the QDs-Anti-AFP probes in tumor by using a site-by-site measurement method to test their ability for distribution studies of cancer cells. These results demonstrate the practicality of QD bioconjugates as attractive fluorescent probes for biomedical detection.
