Abstract: Systems and methods for reconstructing medical images based on the trained deep learning processes, and for training deep learning processes, are disclosed. In some examples, image measurement data is received. A histo-image is generated based on the image measurement data. Further, an attenuation map, such as a ?-map, is received.

Further, a trained machine learning process, such as a trained neural network, is applied to features generated from the histo-image and the attenuation histo-image. Based on the application of the machine learning process to the histo-image and the attenuation histo-image, output image data characterizing an image volume is generated. In some examples, a machine learning process is trained based on histo-images and corresponding attenuation histo-images. The trained machine learning process may be employed to reconstruct images, such as positron emission tomography (PET) images.

Abstract: Systems and methods for training end-to-end deep learning reconstruction processes, and for reconstructing medical images based on the trained deep learning processes, are disclosed. In some examples, input projection data is received. An untrained machine learning process is applied to the input projection data and, based on the application of the machine learning process to the projection data, an output image is generated. Further, a forward projection process is applied to the output image and, based on the application of the forward projection process to the output image, forward projected image data is generated. A loss value is then determined based on the forward projected image data and the input projection data. The loss value is then compared to a threshold value to determine whether the machine learning process is trained. The trained machine learning process may be employed to reconstruct images, such as positron emission tomography (PET) images.

Abstract: In a running distributed data storage system that actively processes I/Os, metadata nodes are commissioned and decommissioned without taking down the storage system and without introducing interruptions to metadata or payload data I/O. The inflow of reads and writes continues without interruption even while new metadata nodes are in the process of being added and/or removed and the strong consistency of the system is guaranteed. Commissioning and decommissioning nodes within the running system enables streamlined replacement of permanently failed nodes and advantageously enables the system to adapt elastically to workload changes. An illustrative distributed barrier logic (the “view change barrier”) controls a multi-state process that controls a coordinated step-wise progression of the metadata nodes from an old view to a new normal. Rules for I/O handling govern each state until the state machine loop has been traversed and the system reaches its new normal.

Abstract: A device for draining cysts includes a catheter system configured to deploy an absorbent material, including but not limited to a foam, into a cyst. The absorbent material advantageously absorbs fluid contained within the cyst, for example fluid that may remain following aspiration, reducing the potential for cyst recurrence. In various embodiments, the absorbent material may be bioabsorbable, radiolucent, echogenic, drug eluting, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments the device may further include or be coupled to a vacuum source which applies negative pressure to the cyst during foam delivery, thereby reduce the overall size and/or profile of the cyst.
