Three regions of interest (ROI) were selected and processed for training from each original radiograph. The leftmost image is the original coronal view radiograph. The original radiograph was passed through the CLAHE algorithm to enhance image brightness and contrast. The three crop boxes outlined by red dotted lines illustrate the three crops generated for model training. Crop 1 selects the ROI for the whole-spine region according to coordinates exported by AlignProCARE. Crops 2 and 3 select the ROIs for the upper and lower end vertebra of the major curvature. All ROIs were subsequently resized into 256 × 256 for Crop 1 and 50 × 50 for Crop 2 and 3. Crop 1 ROI was additionally multiplied by a Gaussian mask to amplify the signal of the vertebrae.

Screenshots of the imaging viewer interface before (a-b) and after (c-d) having clicked “Review placed markers.” The “Case assessment widget” has been magnified in (b,d). One marker was incorrectly placed (c), which is signified with a red cross. One nodule was not identified (c) and was highlighted by a yellow circle through the mouse over function in the “List of synthetic lesions.” Image courtesy of the British Journal of Radiology.

Mean parametric maps of carbon-11 (C-11) DPA-713 radiotracer binding (VT) are presented in three views for each group (NFL, control) within each TSPO genotype (C/C, C/T). VT indicates total distribution volume and is in units of milliliters per cubic centimeter (mL/cm3). Image courtesy of JAMA Network Open.
