1. @Yasuyuki Ueda1* and #Junji Morishita, Patient Identification Based on Deep Metric Learning for Preventing Human Errors in
Follow-up X-Ray Examinations, Journal od Digital Imaging, 2023.05, Biological fingerprints extracted from clinical images can be used for patient identity verification to determine
misfiled clinical images in picture archiving and communication systems. However, such methods have not been
incorporated into clinical use, and their performance can degrade with variability in the clinical images. Deep
learning can be used to improve the performance of these methods. A novel method is proposed to automatically
identify individuals among examined patients using posteroanterior (PA) and anteroposterior (AP) chest X-ray
images. The proposed method uses deep metric learning based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to
overcome the extreme classification requirements for patient validation and identification. It was trained on the NIH
chest X-ray dataset (ChestX-ray8) in three steps: preprocessing, DCNN feature extraction with an EfficientNetV2-S
backbone, and classification with deep metric learning. The proposed method was evaluated using two public
datasets and two clinical chest X-ray image datasets containing data from patients undergoing screening and hospital
care. A 1280-dimensional feature extractor pretrained for 300 epochs performed the best with an area under the
receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.9894, an equal error rate of 0.0269, and a top-1 accuracy of 0.839 on the
PadChest dataset containing both PA and AP view positions. The findings of this study provide considerable
insights into the development of automated patient identification to reduce the possibility of medical malpractice due
to human errors.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a prototype caliper measurement tool that exists in real space to measure the length of three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) anatomical models with acceptable accuracy and reproducibility, particularly for medical education and training.

Methods: The measurement tool was constructed using a digital caliper with two object-tracking sensors to synchronize the positions of the virtual and real jaws. The accuracy and reproducibility for measuring virtual cubes (5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 mm) and three anatomical regions of VR models for vessel, skeleton, and organ were examined. Measurements for the virtual cubes and VR anatomical models were performed by one and two raters, respectively. The degree of agreement between measurements was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).

Results: The developed tool effectively connected real and VR spaces. The measurement errors of the virtual cubes were within 0.5 mm or less for all virtual cube sizes. No statistically significant differences were observed between the errors for any of the virtual cube sizes. Alternatively, measurement errors were within 0.3 mm or less for all regions of VR anatomical models. No statistically significant differences were observed between the errors for the VR anatomical models. High degrees of intra- and inter-rater measurement reliabilities in terms of the ICC were 0.99 in both.

Conclusion: The developed prototype measurement tool was effective in a VR environment with measurement errors of less than 0.5 mm and reliable ICCs for the measurement of VR objects and VR anatomical structures, especially for medical education and training..

Methods: The chromaticity of grayscale and rainbow color maps displayed on a medical liquid-crystal display was measured using a colorimeter. The differences in the chromaticity, ∆E00, between the HCC lesion and liver parenchyma in 22 cases were evaluated. The rainbow color map was revised by changing only the window level (WL) to match the HCC lesion with a peak of ∆E00. Visual evaluation of the 22 cases was performed using Scheffe's paired comparison by ten observers. The average psychological measurement (\bar{\alpha}) was calculated using the grayscale, rainbow color map, and revised rainbow color map to examine the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Results: In all cases, the \bar{\alpha} measure was highest in the order of revised rainbow, grayscale, and rainbow. These results indicate that the visibility of HCC lesions in early phase abdominal contrast-enhanced CT images could be improved by modifying the pseudo-color map with optimal colorization based on ∆E00.
Conclusions: The visibility of HCC lesions in early phase abdominal contrast-enhanced CT images was improved by shifting only the WL setting so that the HCC contrast would match the pixel range with higher ∆E00 on the rainbow color map. This method can be applied to various cases and color maps, and the visibility of the target lesion can be easily improved..

A phantom was scanned for evaluating high-contrast resolution. Six types of CT image series were reconstructed from the scan data, consisting of possible combinations from two types of reconstruction kernels on the filtered back-projection method (for lung and mediastinum) and three types of matrix sizes (5122, 10242, and 20482). These images were displayed with eight types of display conditions: three types of sizes of images displayed on each of a 2-megapixel (MP) and a 3-MP color LCDs, and two types of the image sizes on a 8-MP color LCD. A total of 48 samples (six image series × eight display conditions) were evaluated by eight observers for high-contrast resolution. The high-contrast resolution of the images with a matrix size of 5122 showed no significant variations with either the displayed-image sizes or resolutions of the LCD. The high-contrast resolution of the images with 10242 and 20482 matrix sizes was affected by the displayed-image size, although a statistically significant difference was dependent on the reconstruction kernel. The resolution of the LCD affected the high-contrast resolution of only 20482-matrix-size images. In conclusion, the spatial resolution of CT images with an image matrix larger than 5122 may be affected by the resolution of the LCD and the displayed-image size..

Koji OURA, Noriaki IKEDA, Yongsu YOON, Toyoyuki KATO, Junji MORISHITA, Potential for personal identification using the volume of the mastoid air cells extracted from post mortem computed tomographic images, Legal Medicine, 10.1016/j.legalmed.2022.102060, 58, 2022.04, This study revealed the usefulness of volumetric analysis of mastoid air cells (MACs) extracted from postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) images in characterizing individuals. To characterize deceased persons, the MACs volumes of 61 Japanese PMCT images were measured after thresholding in Hounsfield units and based on the number of voxels on the right and left sides and the voxel size for each person. The volume differences between the right and left MACs and sex were examined. Although there were no obvious volume differences between males and females, the order of sizes on the two sides varied for each person. Moreover, deceased persons could be roughly classified using the total volume of MACs. Deceased persons with similar total volumes could be distinguished further by comparing the ratio of volumes in bilateral MACs. Although the identification process is dependent on samples and different sizes of bilateral MACs, our pilot study indicated that 81.9% (50/61) of deceased persons could be distinguished. In conclusion, volumetric analysis of MACs measured using PMCT imaging has the potential to identify individuals and reduce the number of candidates..

Automated image recognition and identification developed for clinical images without metadata could also be applied to the identification of victims in mass disasters or other unidentified individuals. The development of methods that are adaptive to a wide range of recent imaging modalities in the fields of radiologic technology, patient safety, forensic pathology, and forensic odontology is still in its early stages. However, its importance in practice will continue to increase in the future..

Shogo TOKUREI, Yoichiro IKUSHIMA, Kazuki TAKEGAMI, Munemasa OKADA, Junji MORISHITA, Medical display application for degraded image sharpness restoration based on the modulation transfer function: Initial assessment for a five-megapixel mammography display monitor, Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 10-1007/s 13246-021-01008-z, online first, 2021.05, An image-display application for medical liquid-crystal display (LCD) monitors called the sharpness recovery (SR) function has been developed to compensate for image sharpness as a function of deficiencies in the modulation transfer function (MTF) of a monitor. We investigated the effects of the SR function for a five-megapixel (MP) mammography LCD monitor on the resolution and noise properties of the displayed images by measuring the MTF and overall noise power spectrum (NPS), respectively. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the SR function for the 5-MP monitor in displaying subtle microcalcifications on digital mammograms was verified using a two-alternative-forced-choice sensitivity measurement as an initial application for medical image interpretation. Four radiologists compared the visibility of 45 regions of interest with a malignant microcalcification cluster shown on SR-processed and unprocessed mammograms. SR processing improved the MTF of the displayed images by approximately 40% at the Nyquist frequency of the 5-MP monitor, whereas it slightly increased the overall NPS values. All observers indicated that the fraction of cases considered to have better visibility of microcalcifications with the SR processing was significantly greater than that without the processing (averaging 82%, with the 95% confidence interval ranging from 70 to 93%). The SR processing for the 5-MP monitor yielded a significant improvement in the resolution properties of the displayed images, with a certain increase in the image noise. The SR function has the potential to improve the observer performance of radiologists, particularly when reading subtle microcalcifications reproduced on 5-MP monitors..

the exposure conditions with various digital systems. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of EI, as per the IEC, by
comparing the EIs obtained through manual calculated and that displayed on the console of two computed radiography (CR)
and digital radiography (DR) systems with radiation beam qualities of RQA3,5,7 and 9. As a result, both two systems indicated
an uncertainty of less than 20% for both calculated and displayed EI with all beam qualities except displayed EI obtained by
RQA3. However, the displayed EI values were different even under the same exposure conditions because of the characteristics
of the imaging receptor materials, such as BaFI or CsI, of two systems. Therefore, when an operator attempts to introduce
displayed EI for managing radiation dose, it is essential to understand the characteristics of the digital system..
