Background Meningioma, the most common primary brain tumor, presents significant challenges in MRI-based diagnosis and treatment planning due to its diverse manifestations. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown promise in improving the accuracy and efficiency of meningioma segmentation from MRI scans. This systematic review and meta-analysis assess the effectiveness of CNN models in segmenting meningioma using MRI. M...

Purpose This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of deep learning (DL) models for aorta segmentation in computed tomography (CT) images. Methods Adhering to 2020 PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for studies published up to March 13, 2024, that used DL models for aorta segmentation in adults’ chest CT images. We excluded studies that did no...

Aerosol chemical components such as black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC) regulate aerosol optical properties, which in turn drive the atmospheric radiative forcing estimations due to aerosols. In this study, we used the long-term measurements from AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) to better understand the aerosol types and composition with respect to their seasonal and spatial variabilities in peninsular Southeast Asia (PS...
