A Proof-of-Concept Study for Precise Mapping of Pigmented Basal Cell Carcinoma in Asian Skin Using Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography Imaging with Level Set Segmentation

A Proof-of-Concept Study for Precise Mapping of Pigmented Basal Cell Carcinoma in Asian Skin Using Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography Imaging with Level Set Segmentation

A New Approach to Skin Cancer Diagnosis: Research on Photoacoustic Imaging with Level Set Segmentation Algorithm In recent years, with global population aging and environmental changes, the incidence rate of skin cancer has been climbing annually. As a significant public health issue, skin cancer primarily manifests in non-melanoma types like squam...

Prediction of Monocular Defocus Curves in Pseudophakia with Different Pupil Sizes

Background With the widespread adoption of cataract surgery and lens replacement surgery, the optical performance of intraocular lenses (IOLs) has become increasingly critical in determining patients’ postoperative visual quality. Predicting clinical visual performance (such as visual acuity and defocus range) is an emerging area of interest in oph...
