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. …”

“…While Ac-LP biosynthetic pathway genes appear to be universally conserved in all Bacillus spp., those associated with pathogenic lineages have often lost function. In B. anthracis strains, LhaT has been inactivated by insertion of poly-tyrosine runs of variable length that favors chemotype conversion to lyso-LP and evasion of TLR2 detection. …”
