MTFN: multi-temporal feature fusing network with co-attention for DCE-MRI synthesis.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. However, obtaining complete eight temporal images of DCE-MRI requires a long scanning time, which causes patients' discomfort in the scanning process. Therefore, to reduce the time, the multi temporal feature fusing neural network with Co-attention (MTFN) is proposed to generate the eighth temporal images of DCE-MRI, which enables the acquisition of DCE-MRI images without scanning. In order to reduce the time, multi-temporal feature fusion cooperative attention mechanism neural network (MTFN) is proposed to generate the eighth temporal images of DCE-MRI, which enables DCE-MRI image acquisition without scanning.
methodsIn this paper, we propose multi temporal feature fusing neural network with Co-attention (MTFN) for DCE-MRI Synthesis, in which the Co-attention module can fully fuse the features of the first and third temporal image to obtain the hybrid features. The Co-attention explore long-range dependencies, not just relationships between pixels. Therefore, the hybrid features are more helpful to generate the eighth temporal images.
resultsWe conduct experiments on the private breast DCE-MRI dataset from hospitals and the multi modal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge2018 dataset (BraTs2018). Compared with existing methods, the experimental results of our method show the improvement and our method can generate more realistic images. In the meanwhile, we also use synthetic images to classify the molecular typing of breast cancer that the accuracy on the original eighth time-series images and the generated images are 89.53% and 92.46%, which have been improved by about 3%, and the classification results verify the practicability of the synthetic images.
conclusionsThe results of subjective evaluation and objective image quality evaluation indicators show the effectiveness of our method, which can obtain comprehensive and useful information. The improvement of classification accuracy proves that the images generated by our method are practical.
