Multimodal learning for enhanced SPECT/CT imaging in sports injury diagnosis by Zhengzheng Jiang, YaWen Shen

“…IntroductionSingle-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging plays a critical role in sports injury diagnosis by offering both anatomical and functional insights. However, traditional SPECT/CT techniques often suffer from poor image quality, low spatial resolution, and limited capacity for integrating multiple data sources, which can hinder accurate diagnosis and intervention.MethodsTo address these limitations, this study proposes a novel multimodal learning framework that enhances SPECT/CT imaging through biomechanical data integration and deep learning. …”

A Dynamic State Cluster-Based Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm by Zhenya Diao, Fei Yu, Hongrun Wu, Xuewen Xia

“…To address these limitations, this paper introduces a dynamic state cluster-based particle swarm optimization (DSCPSO) algorithm, which employs population phenotypic entropy based on clustering technique. (1) The algorithm provides theoretical splitting points by mathematically analyzing the population into four states: convergence, exploitation, escape, and exploration, enabling more effective parameter adaptive mechanisms. (2) DSCPSO incorporates sinusoidal chaos mapping to dynamically adjust inertia weights, allowing particles to better align with the population’s evolutionary state. (3) During the convergence state, an intelligent particle migration strategy (IPMS) enhances search efficiency within the solution space, preventing unnecessary computational resource consumption. Eventually, comparative analysis with 10 advanced existing algorithms on the CEC2017 and CEC2022 benchmark suites demonstrates that DSCPSO achieves competitive performance across over 70% of the functions, validating the algorithm’s effectiveness and superiority. …”
