Surface defect segmentation of Nuclear Fuel Pellets (NFPs) is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of nuclear reactors. However, due to the small size and dark color of NFPs, the contrast between defects and the background is extremely low, making conventional optical imaging techniques and detection algorithms ineffective. To address this challenge, this paper developed a Structured Light Imaging Device (SLD) and proposed an efficient segmentation approach, the ICA-DeepLab model. The SLD utilizes dual-modal coded structured light imaging to actively capture defect depth information while reducing background complexity. The proposed model employs a lightweight feature extraction network as the backbone, incorporates an improved coordinate attention mechanism, and redesigns the loss function to better capture the spatial structure and positional information of structured light images, significantly enhancing defect segmentation performance. Comparison experiments with other imaging methods demonstrate that structured light imaging provides superior detection accuracy. Compared to state-of-the-art segmentation models, the proposed approach is more efficient and achieves higher accuracy, attaining an F1 score of 98.6%, a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 97.5 %, and a frame rate of 11.7f/s. Generalization experiments indicate that the proposed approach exhibits strong adaptability to NFPs of different sizes and surface properties. The method has been successfully applied in nuclear fuel production and shows great potential for broader industrial applications.
Surface defect detection of nuclear fuel pellets is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of nuclear reactors. In this study, a defect detection method based on structured light and convolutional neural network is proposed to address the challenges posed by small-sized fuel pellets, varying forms and sizes of pellet end face defects, and complex background environments. The method utilizes DLP technology and a Scheimpflug lens to construct a high-performance structured light imaging device. Subsequently, a deep network model named Defect-Deepf.abv. + is designed for processing structured light images. Building upon DeepLab $3+$ , the network adopts MobilenetV2 as the encoder backbone and incorporates the CBAM attention mechanism, effectively enhancing defect segmentation accuracy. The experimental results show that our method achieves an F1 score of 95.6% on structured light images. Moreover, the detection time for a single pellet is less than 1 second, meeting the real-time quality inspection demands of the production line for nuclear fuel pellets.
Accurate classification of lung nodules can lead to a more favorable diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer. In this study, an accurate classification of nodules and non‐nodules based on radiomics and machine learning algorithms has been presented. We validate our method on 4999 nodule candidates and use accuracy, recall, precision, f1‐score, and the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) as evaluation metrics. Experimental results manifest that for most classifiers, recursive feature elimination (RFE) has higher AUC values than chi‐square test and principal component analysis, selecting 15 features is better in AUC than 10 features and 20 features and the ratio between training data set and testing data set of 9:1 has the best predictive performance. When the feature selection method is RFE, the number of features is 15 and the ratio is 9:1, random forest has the highest AUC value (0.9536), accuracy (0.9580), recall (0.9893), precision (0.9392), and f1‐score (0.9636).

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a radiomics model based on multiregional and multiparametric MRI to classify paediatric posterior fossa tumours (PPFTs), explore the contribution of different MR sequences and tumour subregions in tumour classification, and examine whether contrast-enhanced T-1 weighted (T1C) images have irreplaceable added value. Methods: This retrospective study of 136 PPFTs extracted 11,958 multiregional (enhanced, non-enhanced, and total tumour) features from multiparametric MRI (T-1- and T-2 weighted, T1C, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, and diffusion-weighted images). These features were subjected to fast correlation based feature selection and classified by a support vector machine based on different tasks. Diagnostic performances of multiregional and multiparametric MRI features, different sequences, and different tumoral regions were evaluated using multi class and one vs-rest strategies. Results: The established model achieved an overall area under the curve (AUC) of 0.977 in the validation cohort. The performance of PPFTs significantly improved after replacing T1C with apparent diffusion coefficient maps added into the plain scan sequences (AUC from 0.812 to 0.917). When oedema features were added to contrast enhancing tumour volume, the performance did not significantly improve. Conclusion: The radiomics model built by multiregional and multiparametric MRI features allows for the excellent distinction of different PPFTs and provides valuable references for the rational adoption of MR sequences. Advances in knowledge: This study emphasized that T1C has limited added value in predicting PPFTs and should be cautiously adopted. Selecting optimal MR sequences may help guide clinicians to better allocate acquisition sequences and reduce medical costs.

Materials and Methods: Three dimensional (3D) tumors were semi-automatic segmented by radiologists from postcontrast T1weighted images and apparent diffusion coefficient maps in 51 patients (24 EPs, 27 MBs). Then, we extracted radiomics features and further reduced them by three feature selection methods. For each feature selection method, 4 classifiers were adopted which yield 12 different models. After extensive crossvalidation, pairwise test were carried out in receiver operating characteristic curves to explore performance of these models. Results: The radiomics model built with multivariable logistic regression as feature selection method and random forests as classifier had the best performance, area under the curve achieved 0.91 (95 % confidence interval 0.787-0.968). Five relevant features were highly correlated to discriminate EP and MB, which may used as imaging biomarkers to predict the kinds of tumors. Conclusion: The combination of radiomics and machine-learning approach on 3D multimodal MRI could well distinguish EP and MB of childhood, which assistant doctors in clinical diagnosis. Since there is no uniform model to obtained best performance for every specific data set, it is necessary to try different combination methods.

A 400 MeV/u carbon ion beam incident on a water phantom was simulated with GATE/Geant4 to calculate the energy spectra of 12C and its fragments at various depths. Based on the energy spectra, the DNA double strand break (DSB) yields from 12C and its fragments were calculated with Monte Carlo Damage Simulation (MCDS) code. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) distributions for 12C and its fragments were calculated from the DSB yields. The DNA damages from each type of the particles and their contribution to the total DNA damages at various depths were calculated from the DSB yields and dose distributions. These characteristics of 12C and its fragments are important for understanding the corresponding RBEs and the DNA damages. The purpose of this work was to obtain the RBEs and the DNA damage distributions of carbon ions and their fragments in beams used in radiotherapy by means of simulating the macroscopic phantom and microscopic cells. The simulation method can be easily extended by changing some parameters.

在我国,直肠癌发病率约占结直肠癌发病率的65%,其中以腹膜反折平面以下的中低位直肠癌最多,发病率呈逐年上升趋势[1-2].低位直肠癌是指距肛缘7 cm以内的肿瘤,手术是其目前最重要的治疗手段. 1908年,Mile提出Miles术,至今仍是直肠癌的标准术式.但Miles手术造成的永久性造瘘、性功能障碍等有关并发症严重影响了患者生活质量. 1939年,Dixon提出Dixon术,在一定程度上改善了患者生存质量.
目前,关于残胃癌和再发癌的定义说法不一.胃良性溃疡行胃大部切除术后5年以上残胃发生的癌属残胃癌,对胃癌术后的残胃癌,应区分残胃复发癌和残胃癌,胃癌术后5年内发生的癌多为复发,术后10年以上残胃发生的癌称作残胃癌[ 1 ]. 陈峻青等[ 2 ]认为胃良性疾病术后10年以上,残胃内发生的癌称残胃癌;胃癌根治性胃大部切除术后(包括病理学检查,两切断缘均无癌残留),残胃内再度发现的癌称残胃再发癌. 残胃再发癌手术难度大,切除率低,外科治疗原则为根治性残胃全切除术. 近年来,腹腔镜胃癌根治术由于创伤小、疼痛轻、胃肠功能恢复快、机体免疫干扰小、并发症少等优点,在国内外得到快速发展. 腹腔镜胃癌手术技术的成熟促进腹腔镜残胃再发癌手术的开展, 2016 年1 月~2017年4月我们成功施行腹腔镜残胃再发癌切除术4例,近期疗效较好,现报道如下.

Monte Carlo simulation was an important approach to obtain accurate characteristics of radiotherapy. In this work, a 400MeV/u carbon ion beam incident on water phantom was simulated with Gate/Geant4 tools. The authors obtained the dose distributions of H, He, Li, Be, B, C and their isotopes in water phantom, and drew a conclusion that the dose of 11C was the main reason of causing the embossment of total dose curve around 252mm depth. The authors also studied detailedly the dose contribution distributions, yield distributions and average energy distributions of all kinds of fragments. The information of four distributions was very meaningful for understanding the effect of fragments in carbon ion beam radiotherapy. The method of this simulation was easy to extend. For example, for obtaining a special result, we may change the particle energy, particle type, target material, target geometry, physics process, detector, etc.
