Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining a pathology in 3D image data is describe wherein the method may comprise:receiving at least a first 3D image of a body part, the 3D image comprising voxels associated with a predetermined image volume; a first 3D convolutional neural network determining a position of a volume of interest (VOI) in the image volume of the first 3D image, the VOI being associated with a pathology of the body part, the VOI defining a sub-volume of the image volume; determining first VOI voxels by selecting voxels of the first 3D image that have a position within the VOI as determined by the first 3D convolution neural network and providing the first VOI voxels to the input of a second 3D convolutional neural network; the second 3D convolutional neural network, determining a target label value on the basis of at least the first VOI voxels, the target label value being indicative of the presence or absence of a pathology in the VOI; and, generating a medical report by associating the ta

Abstract: A method for automated determination of a growth rate of an object in 3D data sets is described wherein the method may comprise: a first trained 3D detection deep neural network (DNN) determining one or more first VOIs in a current 3D data set and second VOIs in prior 3D data set, a VOI being associated with an abnormality; a registration algorithm, preferably a registration algorithm based on a trained 3D registration DNN, determining a mapping between the one or more first and second VOIs, the mapping providing for a first VOI in the current 3D data set a corresponding second VOI in the prior 3D data set; a second trained 3D segmentation DNN segmenting voxels of a first VOI into first voxels representing the abnormality and voxels of a corresponding second VOI into second voxels representing the abnormality; and, determining a first volume of the abnormality on the basisof the first voxels and a second volume of the abnormality on the basis of the second voxels and using the first and second volume to deter

Abstract: Molybdenum trioxide containing potassium is heated to a temperature sufficiently high (i.e. at least about 525.degree. C.) to render the potassium soluble in hot water, the heated trioxide is quenched to less than about 400.degree. C. at a rate of at least about 30.degree. C. per minute, the quenched trioxide is leached with hot water (between about 50.degree. C. and about 100.degree. C.) to leach the solubilized potassium and after liquid-solids separation the molybdenum trioxide is dissolved in ammonium hydroxide to form ammonium molybdates, which can be recovered from solution and then can be calcined to chemical grade molybdic oxide. The process is advantageously conducted in conjunction with the roasting of molybdenite.
