Snoring was described in literature even before medicine. Common definitions do not consider
acoustic measurements of snoring. In this paper we discuss the main pathophysiological …

It has been a clear demand, based on new knowledge, to collect and update definitions of
terms covering the field of respiratory sounds and computerized respiratory sound analysis for …

Few attempts have been made to include the oxygen enhancement ratio (OER) in treatment
planning for ion beam therapy, and systematic studies to evaluate the impact of hypoxia in …

… GSTDM entropy (a, e), GLSZM low gray-level zone emphasis (b, f), GLSZM zone size non-uniformity
(d, h), and DTS (c, g) of the benign nodule of Fig. 1 (a–d) and of the lung cancer of …

Purpose Advanced ion beam therapeutic techniques, such as hypofractionation, respiratory
gating, or laser‐based pulsed beams, have dose rate time structures which are substantially …

Functional parameters from positron emission tomography (PET) seem promising biomarkers
in various lymphoma subtypes. This study investigated the prognostic value of PET …

Purpose Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are being proposed in combination with radiotherapy to
improve tumor control. However, the exact mechanisms underlying GNP radiosensitization …

Image texture analysis (radiomics) uses radiographic images to quantify characteristics that
may identify tumour heterogeneity and associated patient outcomes. Using fluoro‐deoxy‐…

It is widely known that the acoustical characteristics of adventitious lung sounds change
considerably when the point of auscultation is changed. Some preliminary results of an …

A system for recording and processing lung crackles is described. These are detected by a
microphone on the chest wall and recorded simultaneously with flow rate, tidal volume and …
